Twenty-Three years before the horrifying events chronicled in "Solomon's Keep," the Wizard's college first suspected they might have a problem with one of their new graduates. A battle mage was dispatched to put an end to this young "Solomon Dark" before he could grow in power...

In Solomon's Boneyard, you will face a young Solomon Dark just as he begins his rise! As an esteemed junion member of the Wizarding College's faculty, simply confront the young would-be dark lord in whatever cemetary he's desecrating today! It's an easy job, and you surely won't need the full extent of the game's gigantic magic system, nor the help of the game's astounding collection of unique magic items to accomplish it. Simply go in, confront the dark lord, dispatch him, and return the university for the dinner party and accolades due to a junior faculty member completing an entry-level task.
If through bad luck or mischance you fail to take down the low-talent startup necromancer, no worries, the university always has more mages who are eager to add to their own reputation by doing what you couldn't do...

Solomon's Boneyard is a twin stick survival shooter. The goal of the game is to survive long enough to deter the up and coming necromancer Solomon Dark and get him to retreat to his secluded keep and stop terrorizing the provinces.
During play, you will select a wizard with the skillset you like, then it's off to the graveyard to test your mettle against enormous hordes of skeletons... And more. As you play, you gain experience to level up your character, and can find various items and accoutrements that can persist between games to give each succeeding wizard a better chance!
Master more than 60 skills and spells, find hundreds of stat-boosting items, and even unlock new spells and helpers as the story unfolds. But beware, Solomon Dark is more powerful than anyone expects him to be...
