What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to build Nekro with as much player feedback as possible - that means every person that contributes with ideas has helped design the game. With almost half of the features in the game having been honed and tailored to player feedback, we have truly made Nekro something special. Early access gives us the ability to make sure you as the player get exactly the game you wanted.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning to release Nekro Q2 of 2015.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will simply have more content, as all of the core mechanics are already in place. The game is very playable and polished as it stands.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is 70% complete in its current state and features half the main campaign, a complete host of monsters to summon and Nekros to control.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We are still determining the best pricing model for when the game releases.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community has been and will continue to be a pivotal part of Nekro's development. Contributing to the game is as simple as making a post in our forums. If you provide constructive feedback, we will almost always listen and respond.”

Early Access Review
I haven´t had this much fun since the Dungeon Keeper and Myth days. And Nekro offers the same kind of evil and entertaining value, but on a much more brutal stage. You also get the great pleasure to fight Totalbiscuit himself!

Pros:
+ Uber epic gameplay value!
+ Dungeon Keeper and Myth vibes
+ Awesome voice actors
+ Beautiful graphics
+ Totalbiscuit
+ Fun boss fights
* Great camera controlls (you can zoom in, out and rotate the camera as you please)

Cons:
– Nekro is rather buggy at times (the early alpha versions)
– More primary and secondary attacks would be nice
– The A.i can be rather stupid from time to time
– The lack of in-game content and a “somewhat” unpolished multiplayer mode

Gameplay: 4/5
Graphics: 5/5
Sound/Music 4/5
Controls: 4/5
Replay value: 3.5/5

Verdict: 4/5

The developer seems to have abandoned the game, but according to a statement from him, in which he said he was going through life issues with family and whatnot and so has to slow down development, but will continue as soon as possible. I recommend this game because it was really challenging and fun, and the concept is fantastic. However, in its current state it is lacking content.

Here's the article in which he describes the situation
