Games Like Scourge of the Necromancer

The realm is falling. Six heroes are all that stand between the Necromancer and the kingdom's destruction. The Necromancer's blight spreads across the hex board, tile by tile. His skeletons, wraiths, and ghouls march on the Castle. The only weapons that can harm him lie shattered across the land — and each of his six surviving champions can only kill one kind of undead. You're going to have to work together.

Six heroes. Three counter-type pairs. No one is self-sufficient.

A Knight can walk right past a ghoul — but the ghoul doesn't fall. Only the Warrior or Alchemist can put it down. The threat stays on the board until the right hero gets there. Every turn is a coordination puzzle.

Assemble the relic weapons, one fragment at a time

Each hero's relic — Dawnbringer, Censer, Ghostpiercer, Voidstaff, Gravebreaker, Plaguefire Flask — assembles from four pieces scattered across the corrupted land. Kills might drop a fragment; harder difficulties drop them less often. And when a piece drops, it's never for the killing hero's own class. You'll be trading constantly, passing fragments across the board to the heroes who need them most. Only relic-armed heroes covering all three counter-types can converge on the Necromancer for the killing blow.

The board is the clock

When skeletons, wraiths, and ghouls all converge on a single tile, it begins to collapse. After a one-round grace period, the tile is destroyed forever — and if the Castle falls or too much of the realm is blighted, you lose. The Necromancer's army grows every turn. You can't outpace him. You can only out-coordinate him.

A single shared goal

The Necromancer roams the board, his army growing wherever he goes. The relic-armed heroes who track him down together, covering all three counter-types, will end his scourge. The ones who can't will watch the realm fall. Coordinate. Specialize. Survive.
