Necropolis is a “3D Action Rogue-like that explodes with eye-catching minimalist art, off-kilter humor, diabolical traps, and more ravenous creatures than one adventurer can handle.” If the name doesn’t ring a bell, you’ve likely at least seen a handful of pictures and gifs from when the game was first released. Developer Harebrained Schemes has crafted a novel Souls -like dungeon-crawler that fans took to rather quickly, for better and for worse. There was a large and passionate player-base right out of the gate, which means that Harebrained Schemes has been bombarded with requests for tweaks and changes. They listened.
“As with everything we make,” says studio head Mitch Gitelman, “the Harebrained Schemes team has scoured the player responses and critic reviews to begin the process of turning your feedback into an action plan for supporting and improving the game.” That process has culminated in the release of a sizable, free patch, and a new edition of the game that contains all of changes. With Necropolis: Brutal Edition , players new and old can look forward to a new playable character (the Brute), a brand new area to explore, procedural generation tweaks for dungeons, new enemies with new AI, tons of new loot, and a host of balance adjustments.
There’s never been a better time to jump in, as Harebrained Schemes is offering Necropolis: Brutal Edition for 20% off on Steam for a limited time. Act fast, though – the discount is only valid through the end of the week.
