1	You know the EvilSorcerer? The dark magus who has dealt with a GodOfEvil for mystical and temporal might, and now seeks to turn all under his influence into {{Mordor}}?
2
3	[[EvilIsCool Wouldn't it be]] ''[[EvilIsCool awesome]]'' [[VillainProtagonist to play as him?]]

5	Such is the basic premise of ''[[http://darkforgegames.com/nekro/ Nekro]]'', an upcoming game currently in open beta, and even better, [[EvilVersusEvil you don't have to feel bad about it!]] You are the titular Nekromancer, an undead [[AlchemyIsMagic alchemist]] betrayed by his [[TheCaligula King]]. Caught in a [[BlessedWithSuck horrifying half-life]], the Nekro sets out both for revenge against his former liege and to cut the link between their life forces before his [[EvilTowerOfOminousness tower]] is destroyed, preventing him from [[ResurrectiveImmortality reconstructing]] his body...which would [[AndIMustScream leave his mind intact]].

7	An ActionRPG[=/=]RealTimeStrategy game with SimulationGame elements (explicitly compared to ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper'' by its developers), part of Nekro's draw is its ''heavy'' emphasis on RandomlyGeneratedLevels, with even the campaign map differing from game to game, and [[RandomEvent Random Events]] that may greatly aide or hinder the Nekro in his quest, perhaps even both.

10	!!''Nekro'' provides examples of:
11
12	* AntiVillain: Ultimately, the Nekro just wants to die, and he has quite legitimate reason for hating the King.
13	* DeathSeeker: That would be ''you.''
14	* EvilOverlord: Both the Nekro and the King, though the latter hides it well.
15	* RandomlyGeneratedLevels: Combined with [[RandomEvent Random Events]], a large part of the game's design is built around this, even in the campaign mode.
