About the Game

NECROPOLIS: BRUTAL EDITION is a major update featuring a new playable adventurer (The Brute), a completely new outdoor environment (The Black Forest), and lots of new enemies, weapons, armor, traps, potions, scrolls, and other big improvements to the game.

The BRUTAL EDITION is the definitive NECROPOLIS experience. HERE’S WHAT’S NEW:

  • The Brute - a formidable new player character
  • The Black Forest - a completely new wintry outdoor biome to explore
  • Deadly new enemies and improved AI behaviors
  • Greatly expanded environmental variety, including new traps and gameplay
  • Clearer descriptions for all items in the game, including weapons, armor, recipes, potions, and magical codexes
  • Improved game balance and loot economy
  • New weapons, armor, potions, scrolls, and more!

NECROPOLIS combines third-person action with Rogue-lite dungeon-delving for a game that’s fast-paced and addictive, yet diabolically hardcore. Adventure alone, or with up to 3 friends in a magical deathtrap that reconstructs itself each time you play. Craft, equip, explore, and fight to stay alive as you delve deeper and face ever-greater threats in the twisting halls and endless chasms of the NECROPOLIS. Have no doubt, you’re going to die - often! - but you’ll improve your combat skills, available upgrades, and dungeon know-how with every playthrough, bringing you one step closer to the exit. (Warning: “Just one more time” mindset can be addicting.)

IN NECROPOLIS, DEATH IS...

  • ...PERMANENT. Game Over? Jump right back in with a new adventurer and try again!
  • ...DIFFERENT EVERY TIME. A new procedurally-generated dungeon with every death.
  • ...BETTER WITH FRIENDS. Drop-in / drop-out CO-OP multiplayer for up to 4 players!
  • ...MONSTROUS. Gemeaters, Changelings, Hoardmen, and more - they exist to kill you.
  • ...NOT WITHOUT PERKS. Each new dungeon is littered with powerful weapons, armor, and upgrades to wield against your foes. (And there’s crafting, too!)
  • ...UNAVOIDABLE. But don’t worry, this NEXT playthrough is totally the one. We’ve got a good feeling about it.

This game just feels unfinished and quite clunky. There is a great premise here but it's obvious that this game needed more time in the oven. In essence, it's a Dark Souls roguelike that supports coop while traversing

I often think about playing this game with my bros years ago. It's a fun solo or co-op souls-like and Rogue-like with randomly generated levels and a decent but not large amount of weapons to choose from. It's a shame

I loved playing this game with my friends. It got me into the souls-like genre only problem is that one achievement was broken for me and I had to use some mods to get it working. Still I recommend it for the fun

I got this game way back when it came out, and after almost ten years I thought I'd come back and give it a proper college try. I really wanted to like it. It had everything going for it: co-op with up to 4 players, a
