This art is AWESOME!! but I'm going to miss the pigman butcher look!! Can we get a butcher version too!? D :

Strategies to try for different row compositions:

Summon units:
Bards, Rockers, and then any combination of Ratling / Summoner / Flying Skulls. Give your skulls a funny bone. Summon unit builds are the strongest in this game.

Bulldozer builds:
Using a Pigman, fully-upgraded Excalibur or Sticky, or a Big Boned- buff them up with everything possible. Shields, milk, milkmen, nurses, farmers and blacksmiths. A single juiced up unit can wipe out entire rows and take on the king 1-on-1 if you buff them up enough.

Viking train:
Viking in front! Assassin behind viking! Nurse behind Assassin! Upgrade them all and they will tear through everything. Bonus points for milkman in front or a stoner / kobold behind. Viking benefits from farmer. 

And the most important GENERAL tip of them all:
FULLY UPGRADE UNITS!
Early game especially! So easy to get a fully upgraded stoner, skeleton, viking, milkman or flying skull! And these can carry you for the rest of the run! More importantly they will immediately allow you access to another higher-power unit right off the bat that can totally change and inform how you approach the rest of the round.

Hi. I have been playing this game almost nonstop for the last week.

At first I couldn't beat it at all.

Then I managed to get the "okay" ending where you die but take out the king, finally.

After another day, I beat the game and got the good ending. I kept playing it for a week. Actually, it might be closer to two now. I am addicted to this game.

I play it whenever I'm bored. I have stayed up to like, 3 or 4AM playing this game on 3 different occasions.

I have beaten it upwards of 25 times- usually alive, though I have completed it dead 3 or 4 times as well.

Today, just now, not even 5 minutes ago- I finally completed my self-imposed challenge; Beating the game without losing a single heart of damage. A level 3 pigman with a shield and a farmer in front of it really does solve all a man's problems. I also only discovered yesterday that spells even GOT to level 3... level 3 bat curse singlehandedly made me understand why spells are worth it; Gotta say, they're underwhelming when not fully upgraded.

I have one more self-imposed challenge to complete; I want to see the level 3 versions of every single unit. I have already seen the vast majority of them. I think all I need now is to get a level 3 rocker, level 3 farmer, and level 3 blacksmith. Oh, and level 3 divine protection spell.

I have created an itch.io account today, for the sole purpose of leaving this comment. I never had one before now. But you need to know this. You must hear my cry:

MAKE MORE NECROCHESS!!!!!!!!!!
