About this game

Necropolis is a third-person action roguelike, set in a living dungeon that changes every time you play, filled with monsters, myth and magic, and lorded over by the mad mystical intellect known only as the Brazen Head.

Pros & Cons

Stylized low-poly art direction shapes the dungeon atmosphere.
Dungeon runs can be played cooperatively.
Sarcastic narration and item descriptions provide dark humor.
Weighty first-person melee combat produces satisfying encounters.

Cons

Procedural dungeons repeat combat encounters across runs.
Progression, equipment, and rewards provide limited long-term variety.
Hit detection, enemy behavior, and difficulty often feel awkward.
Enemy roster and encounter design offer limited variety.

Pros & Cons are AI-assisted summaries, not our own playthrough reviews. Sources and how we make recommendations.
