Necropolis, a procedurally generated "diabolical dungeon delve" from Harebrained Schemes

[Excidium II]

Eat shit. Nobody said that.

What other modern game has stamina working like that anyway?

 

[orcinator]

Call of Duty

 

[Mozg]

I think it looks better than it did at least. Before some attacks would completely pass through enemies and register damage without any feedback at all, as in no stun, no noise, no hitstop, nuffin'. Watching a little percentage of this I didn't see that happen.

Ex is a fucking genius of game design.

 

[Invictus]

It on presale on gog dirty cheap, I am thinking of getting it tomorrow; it look reasonably cool, I enjoy the style of gameplay and I like to support good developers like Harebrained so everybody wins

 

[Metro]

Must be that peso pricing since it's $30 in the US.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Eat shit. Nobody said that.

What other modern game has stamina working like that anyway?

You mean like every single Elder Scrolls title? Dragon's Dogma? Monster Hunter? All the various 'realistic' fps games (Arma, Day Z, Ark, etc.) Big green stamina bars that rapidly regenerate are ubiquitous.

 

[Invictus]

Perhaps...it is $17 and quite a steal for that price
What the hell, bought

Hmm...all those games also have swords. Well the realistic FPS have knives which do count in a pinch according to some. So many similarities.

 

[Damned Registrations]

This one too. Wow. It's like they're all the same game. What other modern game has swords?

 

[Archibald]

Someone instead of dropping stupid argument is desperate to dig himself even deeper into retardation.

 

[Excidium II]

ITT cretinism. Managing stamina isn't even a factor in any of games. Except for monster hunter maybe, never seen much of that.

 

[Excidium II]

Based on trailers, which game has worst gameplay ELEX or Necropolis?

This is coming next month so I'd say it's the worst of the two right now.

Game of the year, bitches. Fucking Infinitron you better buy this if you buy Epic Mickey 2.

 

[Severian Silk]

I did not see any ranged attacks in the videos. Does this game have them? Also, with the super basic graphics you could get away with speeding up the combat a bit and still not disorient the player.

Necropolis has been delayed on consoles
Despite the PC version's delay for a simultaneous multiplatform launch.

Earlier this year Harebrained Schemes' co-op action roguelike Necropolis was delayed on PCso that it could have a simultaneous launch on PS4 and Xbox One, as per an agreement with publisher Bandai Namco. Unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan and the console launch is still going to be several weeks after Necropolis comes to PC and Mac on 12th July.

A spokesperson for the studio confirmed to Eurogamer that Necropolis' launch is "PC on July 12th, consoles are later this summer" and that the developer won't have console code for "several weeks".

It's unclear if the PC version's delay was in vain, though at the time Harebrained Schemes said "we believe this is absolutely the right decision, and that the additional time will make for an even better Necropolis for consoles AND for PC" so it's quite likely the delay helped the developer polish that up a bit. Also unclear is whether the studio's publishing deal with Bandai Namco is still on. We've asked Harebrained Schemes for clarification and will update should we here back.

But for those playing on PC or Mac, you'll be able to snag Necropolis on Thursday for £22.99 on Steam.

For more on Necropolis, I went hands-on with it when it was less than five months into development. At the time Necropolis still felt a little rough, but it was up to some very interesting things that left me quite excited to see how the game would shape up.

 

[Metro]

Should have just launched it months ago on PC. Fucking dumb.

 

[Viata]

People that want to buy this game should wait until the console version is released to buy the PC version, so the dev can take a dose of waiting for stupid reason.

 

[almondblight]

Or wait for the "enhanced edition" that will include the other classes.

 

[Starwars]

So I think this releases tomorrow. It's currently nr 5 at STEAM top sellers list, didn't really expect that from this game.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Turns out I preordered this at some point. Might try it out this weekend.

 

[Metro]

I knew you had good taste~

 

[Bubbles]

This has always looked absolutely awful to me, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

 

[Infinitron]

#2 in Top Sellers list. Looks like the masses were hungry for a roguelike Dark Souls. Given the last minute delay of the console version, I wonder how many reviews there will be.
