Necuratu

Necuratu is a real-time strategy game in which you play as Klaif, an ancient vampire searching for his abducted loved one, Duchess Vanda. The journey begins at night in a graveyard near Rome, where the surrounding area has changed since Klaif was last on the surface. He is furious that the locals have looted his resting place, where he and Vanda had hoped to rest in peace.

Command vampires

You select vampire units, give them orders, build structures to recruit more units when needed, zoom in or out and change the speed of time. The levels feature haunted landscapes, occasional towns to explore and unsettling music. A mini map helps you locate areas and targets as you work to complete each level.

As master vampire, you choose whether people live, die or become vampires. You can take a violent approach and clear an area of human life, or use spells to avoid conflict and progress through a level. If Klaif or Vanda is eliminated, the game ends after a short time.

Build and recruit

You can construct blood storage, coffins for protection and structures for different types of vampires. Vampire types unlock as you complete stages in the story, and cost mana and blood. Each has different abilities and resistance to the sun, but all vampires can be burned by it. Vampires in range of blood storage or coffins can use those structures to restore health and mana.

Human buildings remain locked until another human activates them. They include mana-draining structures and vampire hunters; scenery buildings are decorative and can be avoided. Depending on your strategy, you can destroy human buildings.

Spells and enemies

Vampires can bite enemy humans and turn them, cast a haste spell, disguise themselves as humans or transform into bats. Human computer-controlled enemies may be unarmed or carry crucifixes, holy water, wooden stakes or pistols. Each level has enemy patrols that you can destroy, turn into vampires or avoid. Other creatures of the night, including lycans and the undead, also appear on occasion.
