NECROPOLIS: BRUTAL EDITION

Released: 9/6/2016

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.)
