What players say
Necroking is a simple card based autobattler rogue-lite. On a run you go around a grid based map collecting cards and powerups, and then fight various enemies in an autobattle setup, where your cards summon minions and they automatically advance and fight every turn. Overall, the game is a bit too simple and probably won't keep your interest for that long. Minions have 1 stat which acts as their health and combat...
"Meh. I really wish Steam had a 'Mixed' rating option. The worlds get repetitive pretty fast, and the game desperately needs a lot of QoL features."
