Press Release

DARKFORGE GAMES ANNOUNCES NEKRO
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES, CA - April 5th, 2012
DarkForge is excited to announce Nekro - a twisted, dark and stylized summoning game on Kickstarter.com. Nekro is a game about conjuring evil minions and conquering empires in a randomly-generated world. Through Kickstarter, DarkForge is hoping to raise $100,000.00 to aid in the production of the game.
In Nekro, you play as a powerful necromancer summoning hordes of undead minions to do your bidding. Unlike a standard RTS, each creature you summon within the game is not under your direct control. Each unit will exhibit a handful of special behaviors unique to its playstyle. The challenge of the game comes from picking the right combination of summons for your situation. The world you explore is generated randomly, and offers a fresh experience with each play session. Nekro takes a different approach to the way modern crafting systems are handled by allowing players to “brew” spells they use in cauldrons. These special brews augment the game rules and allow players a very direct control over their experience. In Nekro, the world is always growing, expanding and changing, offering players a different challenge every time they play the game.
Nekro will feature:
-Stylized, randomly generated worlds
-Deep, situational summoning-based combat system
-Rich ‘brewing’ system for making new items and spells
-An ever-expanding world to conquer
DarkForge is a California-based group of industry veterans hailing from studios such as Sony, Microsoft, Blizzard and more. We have many years of experience making quality games and are looking forward to sharing our vision for Nekro with the world!
