About NECROPOLIS: BRUTAL EDITION
✦ AI summary
Necropolis: Brutal Edition is a hardcore third-person rogue-lite where you delve into a procedurally-generated dungeon, craft gear, and fight to survive before inevitable death sends you back to try again. The Brutal Edition adds a new character class, sprawling Black Forest biome, expanded enemy variety, and rebalanced progression for the ultimate challenging dungeon-crawling experience, playable solo or with up to 3 friends.
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:
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.

Necropolis is a 10 year old contentless console tier slasher brawler with full AAA pricing... charging $30 for a 10 year old game is nuts. Especially when the game has no content, and it's all procgen algorithms... endlessly repetitive. Play the game for 10 minutes and you've played the whole thing. It's a fantasy/cartoony themed third person hack and slash that feels like a console game but got released exclusively on PC. Now, I think we owe a debt of gratitude to HBS for making the Battletech game and not screwing it up, major kudos there, but this train wreck dropped my impression of them down to the basement. They pretty much stopped working on the game very shortly after they delivered it, and for me, maybe this is a Windows 11 thing, the game is a sluggish, janky mess. With issues that will never be patched. For me, annoyingly, the character would just randomly spin around... makes no sense but that's incredibly frustrating. So if you ignore my warnings (and those from other reviewers), and buy this massively overpriced, decade old game, you might not even be able to play it properly. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements…3 found this helpful
