Really hoping the game turns out to be good and hopefully there is a release soon.
Got an invite for today's server test or whatever it was, but it was only 3 hours long and I just didn't feel like making space on my drive to install it for just 3 hours.

Looks like a cheaper version of Skyforge graphics/animations. Hopefully, gameplay will be better - though it's rather easy to achieve since Skyforge gameplay feels like its still in alpha (3 years after open "beta").

Skyforge is nothing close to this. I know both have a Necromancer class that wields a scythe but that is where the similarities end. The game will be a lot more fast paced than Skyforge and the graphics are a lot closer to Overwatch.
Gameplay, can't even compare it.

This can actually turn into something good if they don't overreact with the cash shop.

First thing I thought of was Skyforge also. One major difference was this Necro having a small army of skeletal minions like the Necro in AoC. Just have to wait and see how the timers are. Are the minions there until you dismiss them or are they on short timers or do they have to be constantly resummoned?

The basic minions would be the spawned when you kill an enemy and you have 3 of them and you can upgrade that skill to 4 minions. Those minions are not on a timer and stay until they die or until sacrificed by a skill that gives you health and makes the minion explode. The other 2 skills "summon" minions to rush ahead and explode basically. The ultimate summons 8 minions that last until killed, sacrificed or 20 seconds have passed. So you can have 4 minions as constant companions and 8 more temporary ones so 12 in total which is a small army. There is also an upgrade to the sacrifice for health and explosion skill that affects all minions and when you have the 12 active and make them explode it is quite effective.
