About
~ In a time long ago, those with forbidden power over the dead were branded as wretched Boneraisers. Such heathen were hunted, hanged, burnt, and staked, and their remains sealed within sanctified mausoleums. But what those fearfully foolish folk did not realise, is that those whom are already dead, cannot be killed. You are one such filthy Boneraiser! ~
As a reviled Boneraiser you must amass an army of skellies and deamons to fight the endless waves of heroes intent to end your necromantic ways. In this gothic-horror auto-battler rogue-lite Survivor-like, use the bones and souls of slain heroes to raise and upgrade undead minions, and collect powerful relics and spells to turn the tide of war. Unlock meta upgrades to improve your boneraising abilities, but crucially you must also bolster the Godly heroes' forces too in order to gather enough resources to defeat your nemesis King Gigald's crusade!
Boneraising auto-battler action: Dash around avoiding enemies and collecting their bones to raise and upgrade minions who fight for you! Each minion type has their own fighting styles, from melee pulverisers and magical missilers, to supporting hexers and augurs.
Multiple game modes: There's several game modes to keep play fresh. In Mausoleum Awakens you must protect your crypt against King Gigald and his forces, making best use of traps and contraptions you place before the show. There's Necrotic Skirmishes for a quick bash to simply see how long you can last against an ever growing horde of meanies. The Daily/Weekly Challenge were you compete against the world on an equal footing. There's Clashful Cards, a collectable adversarial card game offering respite from endless boneraising. And a full Castle Conquest mode where you travel through various maps choosing your path in a quest to conquer the Queen's Palace!
Relics and Spells: There's not just bones to suck on during the fight. You will find curious Relics with strange boosts and abilities, or Spell Scrolls with powerful attacks or buffs to be used at the perfect time!
Boneraise Lore meta: Between games use collected coins to increase your abilities and boneraising powers, such as learning to raise Enboned Giants and Possessed Deamons. Meta can also be upgraded and refunded, encouraging you to play around and find your perfect meta loadout!
Heroic Force meta: You must also bolster the forces against you too if you wish to survive King Gigald. Why not provoke a Beggar's Revolt, Goblin Looters, or Mercenary Cyclops, and use their bones to raise an ever greater army of dead!
Class Heritage meta: By stealing hero souls you can also learn new abilities and perks for a particular class. Each class offers their own playstyles, from the Liche who prefers quantity over quality, to the Deamologist who favours huge deamonic minions. Or even classes that specialise in raising versions of the enemies themselves!
Steam Leaderboard: Battle your foes, and your friends, to reach first place on the online Steam leaderboard! Even after defeating King Gigald the crusade wars are endless, and only the greatest legion of undead ever assembled will reach the top spot!

x-- 8/10 --x Really well made roguelike from one of my fav developers.
This game is good in the mechanics, but the art is so ugly and blurry that it gave me a headache after half an hour. All the minions are just indescribable blobs of pixels; it's impossible. It might be a 9/10 for mechanics, but it's a -1/10 for art, and that kills me. I know it has options, but all they do is transform that indescribable blob of pixels into another indescribable blob of pixels, but now with a red/pink/blue outline.
I like the retro feel of this game and it is fairly difficult at times.

Honestly this little gem is such a banger I had to write a review on it! So I just finished this game not too long ago... I basically have almost everything maxed out and all evolutions discovered. What I like most about this Survivors-Like is that it did something different; you're a necromancer raising monster to fight for you, instead of fighting yourself. I think all of the monster combinations and evolutions are great! They add interesting synergy and combo possibilities to the game. Not to mention, the soundtrack is a BANGER!!! All soundtracks, The game from the beginning is very cozy and inviting, and doesn't take itself too seriously. I'd give this game an 8.5/10! Definitely a banger! A MUST PLAY if you are a roguelite and/or survivor's-like head!
A delightful and adorable pixel game which causes various levels of stress.
More than worth it at the price
A vampire survivors-like, but your offensive capabilities are a small horde of undead that you raise and upgrade. Addicting loop, very strong meta-progression, always something to unlock. Recommended
A lot of gameplay/replayability in this game with many different classes to play, a lot of stuff to unlock and permadeath by default. Don't forget to change visibility settings ASAP to enable red borders around enemies, because the screen quickly fills up with enemies and summons. +1
The game for the price is really worth it, and it's a nice vampire survivor like that is enjoyable for 10-15h. But the 100% completion is where it get pretty repetitive, the 3 game modes you have to do feels very similar, and even tho there is a bunch of classes, on most of them you will end up with the same comp since there is only one final giant, one final meldus, one big bro, and then the devil unit associate with your character. At least it's not too long to fully complete.
