Jul 12, 2016While roguelike and roguelike-inspired games such as these feel like a dime a dozen in recent times, Necropolis stands out simply by being the best that it can be, with a striking visual style, great sense of humor and an enjoyable co-op mode working together with immense, randomized, yet terrifically-designed levels and some great combat. Developers Harebrained Schemes have crafted a stellar entry into the genre, one that’s still tough as nails and yet has you coming back to it again and again. It’s a superb hack-and-slash game that’s fun all around and comes highly recommended.

Jul 20, 2016The premise of a procedurally generated rogue-like experience sounds fun, and it certainly starts off that way – but once things start to get repetitive and the game slows down to a familiar grind, the brittle bones of Necropolis are exposed.
-
Aug 2, 2016Necropolis is a pretty standard dungeon crawler, but it does give things an interesting twist. The fighting system is steady, while the surprising potions and curses allow the game to be a unique roguelike. Could have used more variety though.
-
Jul 12, 2016The stylish visuals and streamlined combat that define Necropolis slowly succumb to repetition, laying waste to this roguelike’s longevity. If you have three friends, multiplayer is the way to go.
-
Jul 21, 2016Some decisions, like the randomly generated levels or the permadeath, made the game feels worse than it should. It's enjoyable, and the multiplayer mode and its artistic design are quite strong, but it still feels like a missed opportunity to do something really unique.
-
Jul 12, 2016Necropolis goes through all the motions, but it's missing the heart, and the smarts, of the hyper-difficult games it's trying to imitate.
-
Jul 17, 2016It refuses to treat your protagonist's quest seriously, which in turn undermines the serious gameplay.
