Oath of the Necromancer is a summoning-based rogue-like rooted in Greek-Egyptian myth!
Raise the dead, grow an army and conquer all that stands in your way.
Raid, pillage and raise more to join your cause - the destruction of the old tyrant's forces.
Do so in the name of Serapis - a once powerful God now in need of help.


Amass a worthy army, up to the thousands.
Raise powerful warriors, mages, archers, beasts and monsters.
Cover your armies weaknesses by strategically shaping your army.
Every playthrough let's you try new combinations and variations.
Built for replayability, each run will let you make many strategic choices.
Will it be enough to bring down the tyrant's forces?

Find new synergies every time you set foot in the tyrant's realm.
Recover powerful relics that grant game-changing upgrades,
improve your necromancy, enhance your summons, or become a destructive battle-mage.
Return with your spoils of war to grow permanently stronger and improve your chances of slaying the old tyrant.


Your people need a place to settle. Rebuild Serapis' temple, expand it, and find yourself with more allies.
Help your townsfolk, mingle, and watch your community grow over time.
The old tyrant left many to wander the deserts.



Word gets around - remarkable allies may move in and aid in your cause.
Find the remains of ancient heroes and bring them back to life, some of which you may remember.
Find out how the heroes take their newly granted second chances, and of how much help they can be.
Perhaps... you can change their fate?
