NECROPOLIS: BRUTAL EDITION

Even tho it is now abandoned by devs, its an extremely fun game with friends with plenty of content. Super slept on.

There would be a lot of potential here if the game was just released. It's disheartening to see such a downside to everything that was done properly. For instance, the beauty and art style in the game clashes with inconsistency and too open of a world. While the randomly-generated maps show innovation for the time it was released, I find the biggest hardship in the game exactly from this feature; getting stuck in walls. As a side note, progression only comes from death or completion, so when you get stuck in a wall like I did after beating the final boss, you lose all of that progress. There is no option to respawn, relocate, or restart that section. Nothing. You can only restart from the main menu, erasing all progress for that run. I sincerely think there were a lot of good and ambitious ideas here, so I look forward to seeing how the devs have grown. However, this has been quite the letdown. 3/10.

I really don't know why this game has such low reviews for the content that it offers. The weapons are nice to use, the multiplayer is stable, and the codex system is quite engaging as it offers meaningful changes to the moment to moment gameplay. The crafting for one, although not too complex, is more thought out than most other games I've played. Yes, this game is worth its ticket price in my opinion, and is a fun candidate for a 100% achievement run. 7.5/10

I've been on edge of wanting to lay this game for a while, thinking it might make a good game to play with others, so I grabbed this as part of a Humble Bundle. To keep things short, the gameplay just isn't fun. The controls are floaty in a way that barely makes you feel like you are in control, in movement, and in attacking enemies. Enemy placement are effectively just made to overwhelm you in numbers, not in challenging unique gameplay elements to make the fight interesting. I'd recommend to look into other games in the genre. This game has promise, but would need a massive overhaul to the gameplay to make it fun; and that seems unlikely to happen.

I was one of the first people to beat this game and it never got better. This game is awful and the devs abandoned it really early.

Empty scaffold of a game with no actual content

Overall, I have had fun playing the game with a couple of buddies and its exciting when you get to a new level. The enemies are pretty fun to fight and have really cool and interesting designs. However, the game is riddled with issues. The game is far from finished with clunky combat and movement. The game becomes frustrating from the combat alone. It's fun for a bit but you eventually get too bored and frustrated with it. I only wish the devs continued on this project because it really did have potential. Also the high price tag does not help either.
