You Must Become A Lich

Necromantic ambition turns an arcade-style coin pusher into a surprisingly grim climb toward immortality. You play a spellcaster who has found the Coin Cairn, a strange source of wealth and power buried beneath a mountain, and now uses it to bargain with demons, raise minions, and sever the final ties to mortality. The tone sits somewhere between gothic fantasy and compulsive tabletop gambling: every shower of coins feels like another ritual offering on the road to becoming an undead ruler. Rather than saving a kingdom, the goal is to build one through curses, conquest, and an ever-growing pile of supernatural treasure.

The central loop revolves around six themed coin-pusher tables, where careful timing and placement matter more than blind luck. Dropping coins at the right moment helps shove valuable prizes over the edge, while special rewards feed into the wider progression systems. Collected monsters can be combined into stronger servants, giving your expanding legion more bite when it is sent to attack territories and challenge dangerous bosses. Each major domain has its own guardian to overcome, so the game asks you to balance immediate pusher-table gains against the long-term strength of your army. Unlockable artifacts and rare collectibles continually add new targets to chase, keeping runs focused even when the basic act of pushing coins remains simple.

What makes You Must Become A Lich stand out is the way it treats a familiar arcade cabinet format as the engine of a dark fantasy empire-builder. The tables are not merely cosmetic backdrops; their different themes and layouts give the coin physics a changing sense of rhythm, while the monster-collection layer adds purpose beyond chasing a high score. Its appeal lies in steady, tactile progression rather than demanding action-game execution, making it easy to pick up for short sessions. Players who enjoy coin pushers, idle-friendly collection games, or the macabre humor of titles such as Loop Hero and Cult of the Lamb should find plenty to like, especially if they prefer their power fantasy served with skulls, demons, and mountains of gold.
