I've been playing this game on and off ever since you made your first video on it. It's a real hidden gem. I've had a lot of fun playing with minions but ultimately my favorite build was becoming an arcane god and flying/teleporting around the map raining death upon my enemies, haha. Now that it's 1.0 I'm going to have to try and somehow make an arcane build with lots of minions as well!
@@chebgonaz Now? Not. Necromancy in the game (at least in the part I'm in) only has 3 summoning spells, summon skeletons, skeleton mage and stone golem. There are 2 more spells that I haven't unlocked yet, but it shouldn't influence the gameplay too much. Don't get me wrong, the game is good, but to be a good necromancer game there is still a long way to go.
@@chebgonaz Not really, but then again, I've played like 5 hours and only have the first 2 characters unlocked. The Necromancer class is locked behind a lot of grinding, and I know nothing about it's spells/skills in particular, but there is the "Summon Stone Golem" which lets you summon like 3 or so stone golems that fight for you and are kinda tanky. Beyound that, I don't really know much, but the game in general is one of those "Vampire Survivors"-like, and yeah, to get to the necromancer you need to put in a lot of time playing like a Barbarian with 2 Axes at least for the first part, and then eventually unlock other characters up until you get to the Necromancer. The Stone Golems are available to seemingly every character though, as I've got them with both the barbarian and the pyromancer. The stone golems in general look like lava golems or something actually... Well, not necessarily lava, but they are made of red-ish rocks and have brighter red connecting the larger rocks. The game in the "lobby" and Character selection screen reminds me of the old Dungeon Defenders game. The summoner/necromancer in there was okay, but nothing really good. And my oppinion on Gedonia, I've played for about 2 hours or so... I started as soon as I saw the upload of this video, and it's amazing. Thanks for the informing video.
YES! I didn't know this game existed... or rather, forgot all about it if I knew and got it at around 2:33 of the video and went to play the game until now. I like it a lot. Thank you for that! 😂
Hey Cheb, I've been a lurker on your channel for quite some time and want to say your videos are very good and informative. I have a question though: do you know of any other more casual open-world games like Gedonia or the Elder Scrolls? I'm unforunately not very good at games like Total War or Divinity Original Sin.
Hey, thank you. Unfortunately, these games are kind of rare. I only know of the Bethesda stuff (Fallout and Elderscrolls) and Gedonia for this particular formula. Nothing else really does this. Some things come close simply due to being RPGs and varying degrees of open world: Fable, Witcher 3, Dragon Age Inquisition, Outward. After that, you need to start dipping into open world survival RPGs like Conan Exiles and Valheim or ARPGs like Grim Dawn and Last Epoch.
I thought as much, when I searched for similar games I pretty much ended up empty-handed. Is Valheim able to be played in Single-Player? I avoided the game initially because I assumed it was multiplayer only.
The gameplay is simple, the art style is reminiscent of other gems like The Wind Waker, and the Voice acting is uh... it's... there... As is the story... But it's a neat little game that does have a surprising level of depth with the build variety. The fact a basic elemental buff can drastically change other abilities like how skeletons you summon can look AND fight? Lets you really think in depth how the combat should work. One gripe I have is the mouse binds - if you have a melee-oriented attack that you don't have stamina for, it should just auto to the default attack rather than just 'I don't have the stamina'
@@chebgonaz One man? Now I've learned something new indeed. Question though, would you consider giving the remade Necromancer class for AdventureQuest a look? They went all out improving it.
@@chebgonaz Really? Wasn't expecting that. It takes a while to get tot he max necromancer level so if you'd like any short cuts or brief cuts of information lemme know.
Very informative video. Thanks for your hard work friend! I started a playthrough as a: 3 STR 3 AGI 2 INT 0 Char 2-H Melee, currently maxed Ferocity, going for Necro and was wondering of the limits/possibilities of it. This video helped me out! Finally, I can make the Badass Dark Knight I've always dreamed of! Thank you
Thanks, I also wanna try Deathknight style next time I play. The max level is 70, and you get 2 points per level up, and there's also those pillars that give free skill points. So I think you can get a lot of stuff. I'd say just go wild and then if you gimp yourself, use the potion of oblivion to reset all the points.
@@chebgonaz Sounds reasonable. Turns out Potion of oblivion is level 3 in the Alchemy skill tree. Convenient! Also, I looked at Holy Tree and am unsure what's stronger, Dark or Holy. Bah, Can respec forever so no worries. Skelly bros forevah
Btw Skyrim requiem mod is pretty kickass when it comes to necromancy. Check out some necro gameplay when you have time. Thanks btw, haven't even heard of this game
A game where I can play as a proper necromancer with proper undead minions? Finally! I've wanted such a thing for so long.
So have we :D Enjoy

Sounds great :D have fun and lemme know how it goes
nice overview of the game
Thanks
Thank you! Will definetely go and buy this one right now. Can't wait to check its necromancy.
You're welcome, I hope you like it :)
Excellent review, man! I'm totally buying this game.
Thank you, I'm sure you'll like the game
I would recommend Soulstone Survivors, which has a great necromancer in it.
Thanks, I'm always keen to learn about more necromancy games
It's a good game, but unfortunately it has few summoning spells
Do you think I'd like it?

No problem, enjoy :D
Looks cool, thanks for covering.
No problem
Missed this one for sure. Time to go and buy it
have fun :) it's a good game. The developer is really nice too
Where can i get the Skull for the Skull mask? Can you make a guide for it please?
There's a cave in the bottom east of the map. See the game's wiki for more info if that's not enough of a hint
Well, I'll be damned. Thank you for letting me know this exists bud.
You're welcome. You gonna try it?
@@chebgonaz Bought and paid for so yes sir.
Enjoy :D

@@Stallord133 Yup it's single player too.
Good to know,thx.
Great video

I'm not even into necro playstyle, but I enjoyed your presentation.
Thanks :)
Wow, that's cool.
yeah, pretty cool game. It has lots of stuff to explore
I think you may have just sold me this game.

Yup. It's even more amazing when you consider it's a one man work. One guy made this game. Incredible.

@@Eric4bz Thanks. I downloaded it.
