V3.0 of the game brings many quality of life improvements, various bug fixes, and most importantly, support for new languages: French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian - the full changelog is available at the end of this article. Due to the extent of the changes, old save files are not compatible with the new version. We recommend everyone to start a new playthrough, but if you wish to continue your pre-update saved games, you can. In the list of games on the left-hand side of your Steam client library, right-click on Hands of Necromancy, select "Properties" and "Betas" - from the drop-down menu next to "Beta Participation", pick the option "legacy_saves", wait for an update to finish, and you will be back in the previous version of the game, with your old saves fully playable.
The day has come and we can now share with you that Hands of Necromancy II will launch on September 16, 2024. Are you looking forward to the new story, the option to choose between two playable characters, new abilities, weapons and enemies to slaughter? Then go ahead and wishlist the game now, so you don't miss its release - and let's watch the trailer together now: [previewyoutube=gP7XEF72kZU;full][/previewyoutube] https://store.steampowered.com/app/2706450/Hands_of_Necromancy_II/

The Forest of Fear Content [21.2 M]
You are a Necromancer: a lone sorcerer who seeks to grow ever more powerful and learn new forms of dark magic. You search for challengers to fight, so you can hone your wicked craft. You destroy many monsters and wild creatures, yet none of them seem truly worth the fight...
However, one day, suddenly more creatures entering your world. You know something bad is happening, but maybe this is an opportunity to prove your might and show the world that you are the truly fearsome mage you always knew yourself to be.
Explore many beautiful environments - a country side, a forest, a cemetery, a castle, an ice cave, a volcano, and more - all teeming with danger to prove yourself against, as their denizens try to destroy you.
Get weapons, use magic spells, and learn transformations to fight your enemies, using their own abilities against them and bending nature to your own will.
Use the Tornado Spell to toss your enemies away with wind, or the Ring of Ice to freeze them solid, or even an Unholy Hand Grenade to blow them to smithereens!
Gain transformations as you grow in power - become the Swamp Serpent who can slither into tight spaces while breathing underwater, or the Stone Breaker Golem that smashes walls into tiny bits, the Hell Burner Demon that safely walks on lava, or even a flying Wyvern!
All of them are your key to defeating the many creatures in this metroidvania, as you explore the 21 maps in 3 giant and exciting hubs!
