Dark Fantasy Roguelike Shooter ‘Necromantic’ Launching in Early Access on May 22nd [Trailer]

For those of you who think you’ve gotten your fill of Vampire Survivors, developer Blinkmoon Games has a little something for you later this month with Necromantic. The gothic bullet heaven (or hell?) roguelite will launch into Early Access on PC via Steam on May 22nd.

Necromantic places you as a first-year Valorborn Academy student. Kathedril, the territory that Valorborn Academy sits above, is home to a never-ending graveyard of fun. By “fun”, that means endless hordes of the undead and other monstrosities. Alongside your studies during the day, you must mow down hordes of monsters at night.

You’ll got a rich assortment of over 40 different weapons and abilities at your disposal as you carve your way through waves of monsters across a variety of maps. After you’ve made dust of your foes, you’ll work to gain infamy by studying, going to class, and completing assignments to upgrade and master your skills.

Of course, you could always choose to skip out on your monster-slaying duties and stay out at night to impress the cool kids. But do so at your own risk.

The Early Access period for Necromantic will last approximately five months, where Blinkmoon aims to “constantly [be] evaluating the appetite for our game, and the features we can add for our community.”

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
