About the game

Necken is a tilebased roguelike set in the Swedish forest. It focuses on resource management and tactical decisions, rather than deep complex game mechanics. Movement is not turn based - everything moves freely, but the modular combat is. Necken is a small, simplistic roguelike hybrid.
