To say I own more than a few games would be putting it lightly. My collection has continued growing over the years, and so I use The Backloggery to organize that collection. And while I do stream quite a bit, I try to play some games on my own if I don’t think they would stream well. So while I get through my backlog of games (both online and offline), I plan on writing reviews for the games that stand out. Join me as I do battle with the minions of Bak’laag! Bak'laag


Sword of the Necromancer: Backlog Report

Kickstarted around April 2020, I was a backer for this game. I backed it because it promised a fun rogue-lite experience and a queer plot. What isn’t there to enjoy? I ended up playing the Switch version on my stream one morning after receiving my key in March of 2021. This game is exemplary. Sadly, it is exemplary of so many negative things. Let’s get into this. While I will avoid getting into too much of the details, there will be some spoilers ahead.

Help Tama to save Koko using the powers of the forbidden Sword of the Necromancer. Turn your foes into allies and reach the depths of the Necromancer’s dungeon. Defeat the guardians to gain enough soul power to bring Koko back from the dead, no matter the cost.

Backlog Report: How to Play

I own, far too many games for my own good. While I have beaten a good number of them, I don’t have clear and recent memories of them. So in this series of articles, I’ll be going into depth as I finish each game, detailing my thoughts as I go. Each will be graded on five points—Gameplay, Story, Graphics, Sound, and Replay. These are key points that I find important for my true enjoyment of a game. I will also be defining how finished I am with the game—Unfinished, Beaten, Completed, or Mastered. This is a lot, so I’ll break it all down. So strap in and open your Instruction Manual, because it is time to learn how to play!
