About the Developers

Developed by Harebrained Holdings, Inc. and published by BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc., Necropolis challenges players with its unrelenting gameplay, memorable enemies, and constant changes in the dungeon environment.

If you’re looking for a true test of your gaming prowess, Necropolis is the game that will put your skills to the ultimate challenge. Are you ready to face the dungeon’s horrors?

Necropolis is a tough, fast-paced action game that will challenge your reflexes and patience. The permadeath dungeon crawling keeps every run exciting and unpredictable. Combat is satisfying once you learn the timing, and the shifting dungeon makes every playthrough feel fresh.

The game is not for the faint of heart. Enemies are relentless, traps are deadly, and mistakes are punished quickly. Teaming up with friends in co-op adds a lot of fun, but solo players will need serious focus and strategy to survive.

We recommend Necropolis for players who love hardcore action and don’t mind repeated deaths to master the game. If you enjoy tough challenges and smart combat, this one is worth your time. Casual players might find it frustrating.
