Alright Hytale, you didn’t need to keep trying to win me over after your positive review, but if you WANTED to add one of my absolute favourite mechanics into your game in one of the first new content patches, well, I wouldn’t say NO to it.
Yes as my silly intro may have inferred Hytale now has Necromancy systems in it, or at least a very basic version of it. All you need to do is defeat a certain skeleton boss, pick up the Grimoire it drops, craft up to 5 ‘pile of bones’ items and then use the book, hey presto, 5 skeleton minions. Now this also uses up the book, and the minions only last for 5 minutes, and they don’t draw aggro, so… not exactly very useful. However, the devs have already noted this is just a very basic version of the system and that a full Magic system is planned to be added in a later update, which is great news to here. Already I like the Ritual aspect of this, creating a summoning circle of bones to create your minions, and this just sends my mind racing on what new possibilities they could add. Let’s see what future updates bring, but all I can say currently is, Hytale of course added this just for me so now it’s a 10/10 no questions asked.
That’s all for now, and as always. It’s not just a game, It’s a Life.
