You get what the pricetag suggests
First things first: The “Necromancy” giving the game its name is limited to 1 (rare) item that resurrects 1 enemy, which serves as a short-lived decoy. Necromancy is no core mechanic--shooting is. What you get is thus a basic boomer shooter, with spell-themed guns. For the price, it's rock-solid entertainment. With emphasis on “rock”--rather than “gem”. The game promises fun mechanics from spells to shapeshifting, which all sound fantastic, but sadly does too little with them. In practice, ammo for your “spell”-guns is so rare, that most of what you do with mechanics like shapeshifting is spend game time as a swamp snake, because it slowly regenerates its attacks, thus helping you conserve your more scarce resources. The enemy sprites in the game range from mediocre to very poor, with too little variety. During the first episode, you will encounter less than 10 different types, with even the bosses being a bigger gargoyle, the same of which you've seen before. After the first episode, the game recycles the formula from episode one for the next, and so on, with a text message that basically reads “you had _one_ king of the undead, but have you had a _second_ king of the undead?” Bottom line: For the price, you will get a good, if very basic, fantasy-themed boomer shooter with good-enough level design, that is best played in short bursts. You get as much polish as the price tag suggests. If that sounds fair to you, you can have some rock-solid entertainment with “Hands of necromancy”.
