Roguelike fans have had their eye on Sword of the Necromancer ever since April 2020, when the game's crowdfunding campaign launched on Kickstarter and backers fully funded it within 24 hours. While the ambiguous nature of the story is essential for Shadow of the Colossus, Sword of the Necromancer will spend more time defining Tama and Koko's past, so the player knows why it is so important to save Koko. Mono could either be Wander's wife or a family member. In the 2006 classic, as explained by Pedreño, players have no idea what relationship exists between the characters of Wander and Mono. However, Pedreño also highlights the game's most crucial contrast with Shadow of the Colossus: backstory. Like in Shadow of Colossus, Pedreño explains, it is important thematically that the main character, Tama, complete her impossible task alone. To do that, Grimorio of Games borrowed Shadow of the Colossus' main goal of reviving a fallen female companion, in this case, Koko, a priestess. Grimorio of Games sought to heighten the stakes of the typical roguelike, dungeon crawler journey for players by including a full narrative arc to explore. In a new developer diary, game designer Victor Pedreño outlines how Shadow of the Colossus served as a reference point for Sword of the Necromancer.
