Can I Run Sword of the Necromancer?

Grimorio of Games released Sword of the Necromancer in 2021. It is an action adventure game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Its 274 Steam reviews make it a niche release rather than a widely tested one. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Split screen on one PC is supported, a feature most releases have quietly dropped. Alongside Windows it also ships for Linux. It carries 26 achievements. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Metacritic places it at 69. 9 languages are covered by the store listing.
