You play as a necromancer defending a tower while exploring a procedurally generated fantasy world. Enemies grow more dangerous over time, and the undead are stronger under cover of darkness.
Collect body parts and combine them to create undead with different abilities and ways to cross obstacles such as mountains, rivers, and lava. Send your units to gather resources, defend areas, or attack enemy lairs; you can also take direct control of a unit.
Upgrade your tower with labs and other additions, unlock spells and artifacts, and create powerful titans to face giant enemies. Roguelite-style progression carries upgrades between runs as you advance through distinct regions.
Players who enjoy Necrosmith 2 often highlight the unusual fun of assembling creatures from body parts, experimenting with combinations, and sending the resulting army into a tower-defense battle. Reviews also praise the pixel-art style, the added control over units, and titans and upgrades that broaden the strategy. Criticism frequently focuses on repetitive, grind-heavy progression, uneven difficulty, and performance drops later in play; some players also find the recipe and inventory menus cumbersome or dislike that runs cannot be resumed.
