Ramses Recommends: The nostalgically chipper frights of Necro Nancy 64

Welcome back!

This time around I have something more substantial for you all.

Necro Nancy first came around as a comic on it's creator's newgrounds, which can be found here

Since then, the same newgrounds as well as Macabre's youtube channel have become home to a series of retro game styled animations following the titular revenant and her friends' antics in the monster filled city of Necropolis.

If you're a Spooky Month fan, or have an interest in low poly stuff in general, you'll find plenty to love in this series. And with it's 3rd episode already in (early) production, there's plenty more to come.

Should you be interested, I suggest viewing the series before continuing.

So, for those who came back, or didn't even leave, Let's dive a bit further into what makes this gem click!

Firstly, Nancy herself. She's a well rounded protagonist, being able to work as both a source of comedy and as the voice of reason with both Ghoulia and Renwick. Her simple design combined with her expressive animation helps cement her as the core of the series.

Meanwhile, Ghoulia and Renwick act as great foils, complimenting Nancy as a character in there own ways.

Ghoulia being somewhat dismissive while also trying to hide how much she cares for Nancy makes their interactions a lot of fun, her voice acting also makes her very entertaining in her own right.

Renwick's know-it-all attitude paired with his impulsive nature makes him the most unpredictable of the main cast, which is also what makes him fun.

Lastly, Necropolis is a great setting in potential for stories and even lore. It's also stylistically rich with both the n64 aesthetic and the actual designs of the individual locations, making for a very captivating experience.

And there you have it, a brilliantly made and criminally overlooked series with a unique way of blending together many familiar elements into something with a very distinct and thoroughly appealing.

If I were you, I'd keep a loose eyeball on this ;) Thanks for reading!
