How it feels

A retro 2D action-platformer with pixel graphics, where you fight through enemies and bosses with a lance in a classic fantasy setting.

What players say

Players call Necrolance a solid retro platformer with tight controls and a fair difficulty curve, though some found it frustratingly hard. It is short, around three hours on normal mode, and has a generic plot but offers multiple characters and secret paths. A few reviews note the pixel art looks dated and the resolution is locked.
