Farm Frenzy is now available on Steam and is ready to win over a whole new set of fans!
The series’s classic gameplay returns: players must turn their humble farm into a profitable agrobusiness. Take care of animals, get the farm in order and harvest crops. And if you run into a bear or other dangerous animals, don’t worry! You have all the tools you need to take care of them.
What’s different about the new Farm Frenzy? First, the are some graphical changes. All the animal models, buildings and backgrounds have been created in 3D from scratch. The game now has a dynamic day/night cycle, which means you can now collect produce and take care of the animals while watching the sunset. This helps to create a real farming atmosphere.
Players will also appreciate the gameplay changes – every level now has weather conditions that affect gameplay. On sunny days, grass in levels disappears much faster and needs to be watered. When it rains, grass grows without watering. The game also features new animals such as horses and foals, which come with their own special gameplay mechanics.
But despite the new additions, the game offers the same Farm Frenzy experience that has already won over millions of players worldwide!

Barcelona, Spain – January 28th, 2021 – Grimorio of Games and JanduSoft S.L. launch their monster summoning action roguelike Sword of the Necromancer, available today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
Sword of the Necromancer is a dungeon-crawler action-RPG with roguelike elements where you can revive your defeated enemies to make them fight alongside you. Turn your foes into allies using the forbidden powers of the Sword of the Necromancer and help the rogue Tama reach the dungeon’s depths to gather enough power to bring her beloved priestess Koko back from the dead. Assemble a small army of monsters, equip yourself with weapons and relics, and level up to take on the guardians that stand between you and your goal.
Each attempt gets you closer to the Necromancer. Upon death you’ll lose all your equipped weapons and monsters, but you will retain part of the level you achieved in your run. As you scour deeper through the dungeon you’ll uncover more of Tama and Koko’s past. Do you think it is dangerous to go alone? Then use the Flask of Homunculus to create a copy of yourself and play with a friend in local co-op! Additionally, there are IR codes that can be scanned to make the game easier. Or harder. The choice is yours!
“We’re very excited for players to finally get their hands on our creation!” say the developers. “Sword of the Necromancer is our take on modern day dungeon crawlers. Inspired by classics, we aim to create a new and exciting adventure while feeling familiar. The game combines monster summoning action with a fluid battle system working together as you strive to revive Koko in an engaging yet challenging experience.”
To celebrate the launch Grimorio of Games has released one of the songs from the game’s soundtrack, composed by Dale North (Wizard of Legend, Sparklite, Nintendo Minute) and sung by Emi Evans (Nier & Nier Automata, Drakengard, Dark Souls).
