    Randomly generated action title Nekro has managed to randomly generate $100,000 from Kickstarter donations, thus reaching its goal. In fact, developer darkForge has raised $12,000 beyond its goal, with around 60 hours to go as of this writing. The developer hopes to use the extra funds to add more modes and options to Nekro, specifically character customization and an online co-op mode.Should darkForge raise $120,000, it will include character customization, notably the ability to create either a male or female necromancer, while the co-op mode goal is currently $150,000. A versus multiplayer mode, unfortunately, is not in the cards, as "the amount of work required to balance spells, items and units is just too great," and darkForge would rather concentrate on the single-player experience.

    Nekro appears to have found the happy medium between hellish gore and shiny-happy creatures, and it wants to share this balanced, horrifying world with ours: All developer darkForge needs is $100,000, preferably from its Kickstarter. Nekro is a top-down, randomly generated action title where players are a powerful necromancer who subsists on blood and creates other demonic beings, such as Punge, a Boomer-like character with gigantic, menacing teeth who explodes poison on enemies. DarkForge's Kickstarter has already raised $15,000 and has 18 days left to collect the remaining $85,000. If pus, possession and poltergeists are your thing, go check it out.
