Death becomes you.


<span class="bold">NECROPOLIS</span>, a merciless action/roguelite where death is its own reward, is available now for single-player gameplay on Windows, DRM-free on GOG.com!

Who doesn't enjoy a spectacular, brutal, educational death? Especially if it's permanent, which means all your hard-earned or crafted gear, your elixirs, and any trust you had in your friends now lie shattered on the floor of an accursed, constantly-shifting dungeon.
But it also means that you get to start fresh, armed with more knowledge, better-honed skills, new tools, and unlockable abilities. So you've got no excuse if you die again. And again. And again. And one time after that. Then two more. Yes that's it, you're getting the hang of this now.

The GOG.com release currently supports single-player mode and offline functionality on Windows. OS X support, as well as GOG Galaxy support for achievements & multiplayer is coming in the near future. Stay tuned for updates from GOG.com and Harebrained Schemes.

Grab <span class="bold">NECROPOLIS</span>, the unforgivingly cheeky dungeon-crawler, DRM-free on GOG.com

Looks ok, wishlisted for now as the price is way overboard.

Looks amazing.

I'll wait for some impressions, but I'm cautiously optimistic. It looks cool, though, and Harebrained has a solid track record.

It plays like a mix of Barony and Dark Souls.
I personally find the graphics gorgeous.

Just fired it up while I am here and it's definitely got my attention :D I just got blasted by a laser to the back and I didn't even manage to get out of the first level yet. Very dark and moody in a way.

I am playing with a mouse & keyboard because I am too lazy to walk over and grab a controller from QA but it plays rather well as far as combat goes :) The only thing I can't find (yet) is the ability to lock on to an enemy but I think it's there but I am just too busy trying to explore to look atm :D

Also, enemies actually drop their weapons/shields and you can pick them up and use them!
And no, I don't mean in the Dark Souls sense where you might get a weapon that an enemy has, no, I mean you see a guy with a cool looking sword, kill him and he drops his sword on death and by drops, I mean it falls out of his hand.

Why there's no "gog stream new release" so right after release we can see the game? That would be cool! GIMMEIT

The developers are doing a 12 hour marathon stream of it today, as I recall. Soo... there's definitely an opportunity to see it in action if you want to.

"multiplayer is coming in the near future"

Be warned that if you care about the multiplayer feature, you may want to hold off on buying the game until it's actually added to the GOG version. Nuclear Throne's release post in January said:

"with a Linux version also on its way"

and

"Daily and Weekly challenges are NOT available in the current version of the game but will be added in the future."

None of those things are available yet, and the game has received no updates on GOG in the six months it has been available here.

Tomorrow at 8pm CEST.
We're just still fighting over, I mean we're having a discussion like mature adults, who is the lucky one to do it.

Looks like the multiplayer stream will have to wait, though, huh?

I had fun watching the VODs of your Barony streams. I imagine Necropolis multiplayer will be more of the same (especially if friendly fire is mandatory!). :)

So it's crippled while the Steam version is complete?

Also why isn't the soundtrack available at release??

About: Pre-purchase NECROPOLIS and you'll also receive a copy of the NECROPOLIS Original Soundtrack when the game is released! A sample of the score from composer Jon Everist is available here.

MESSAGE FROM GOG.COM
The pre-order bonus soundtrack for Necropolis will be available for qualified purchasers soon.

I really should stop pre-ordering... ><
