Solomon's Boneyard has gone *free* to promote our new game "Robot Wants Kitty!" So slay some skeletons, then head into the far future and help a little robot discover the warmth of life!
***
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 can play as one of seven young wizards, with over thirty skills to master. The game is a survival two-thumb shooter, where you will face wave after wave of undead hordes, while gaining levels and choosing new skills to fight with.
The game comes complete with a high score list, and an innovative perks system that will allow you to grow in power the more you play.
* * *
For veterans of Solomon's Keep, the game can be described as "endless survival-horror Solomon's Keep." While you will not progress through a dungeon, you will level up, and gain new and more powerful skills and items while you fight hordes of undead in the boneyard.
Solomon's Boneyard differs from Solomon's Keep in these ways:
1. Your mana recovers faster. You start out as a member of the college's junior faculty, boasting more skills than the new graduage in Solomon's Keep.
2. A new primary and secondary skill set is available, utilizing cold magic.
3. All the skill welding is available, but you'll need to unlock the bonus characters to get to them. Characters in Solomon's Boneyard cannot get new primary skills, and are stuck with the ones they start with.
4. Gold is persistent. Any gold you win in a game sticks around forever, for you to buy perks.
5. The perks system allows you to start your game with your favorite skills, or other bonuses.
6. You can find powerup bonuses to increase your damage or level up a skill.
7. Wizards with more than one primary skill can weld skills starting at level 5 instead of level 10.

11 yrs and still a solid game

Seriously, I keep circling back to Solomons keep and boneyard over the last decade (?!) and find a solid amount of game time spent in these games. I’m so glad the developers have kept up with the iOS requirements and happy to aim still able to enjoy this game even though I’ve been through 3 phones since this games release. Would love to see Solomon make a reprise appearance either on iOS or some PC format. Well done Raptisoft!
Wish they’d make an update

This is one of my favorites. I’d love to see an update for the game with new characters, spells etc. it’s been too long since the last update.
Wonderful game!

Been playing ever since I got my first phone a LONG time ago (I was about 9-10, so bout 10 years ago) this game is still a wonderful game no matter what, the soundtrack is awesome and the different characters, all awesome. Thank you for this game
characters only face left when firing
mr. honk
I really wanted to play this game as I enjoyed Solomon’s Keep, but an update is needed - no matter which direction any of the wizards are facing, when I fire, the wizard shoots to the left. really unfortunate. please correct and i’ll pay for in-game items!

I love the game, but the dialog about the women in the game make me, as another woman, highly uncomfortable..
Still 5 stars

As old as this game is it’s still 5 stars. It’s also one of the first rogue like games released in iOS and with that genre so popular now I would think this would get some dev attention. Keep is goo but this type is the thing of the moment
Absolutely awesome, best twin stick shooter there is, but could use some adjustments
Ridderon49
I cannot understate how awesome this game is when it is literally the best twin stick shooter there is. Easily perfect for dozens of hours and more, this is a horde only version of the original game. Also like the first game, it gives you that feel of an apprentice wizard doing exactly what wizards are incredibly good at: destroying everything in their path. I will say however, that just like the original, there is definitely plenty of gameplay and balance adjustments that could be made to improve the game overall, and although they don’t ruin the fun, it does limit it somewhat. This includes but isn’t limited to how Fate Potions are expensive as heck, requiring multiple good runs to purchase, and yet only last a single run on top of also taking up a slot themselves, instead giving you the full two slots for perks. I could honestly give a list of ideas, but it would be much too long to list here.
