There was really no reason to leave this game, it sold well enough, it would of sold more if you put more work into an expansion...

I love this game. I was part of the QA team for it many, many years ago and after all this time, having worked on countless other games, this one has stuck with me and I always felt like it was special. I think it's a shame it isn't more well known and stopped being updated shortly after release.
The creative director for the game "Dennis Detwiller" had "Currently creating my opus NECROPOLIS" on his LinkedIn but left the company after it released. Probably because it was his passion project but the company that owns it didn't see it make enough money right away to keep developing it. I doubt it'll ever be picked back up or get a sequel or anything. That being said, if you see it on sale, might as well give it a try and imagine what it could've been with a few years of updates.

I often think about playing this game with my bros years ago. It's a fun solo or co-op souls-like and Rogue-like with randomly generated levels and a decent but not large amount of weapons to choose from. It's a shame that it hasn't been updated in forever and/or doesn't have a squeal. It's not worth the $30 price tag but it is worth picking it up on sale with a few of your bros for a decent co-op experience.

Still one of the best dungeon generators; Every playthrough is very unique; Very high replay value even after 10 years with no updates.

a great game to play with friends! this game doesnt lie about being brutal, so dont take it to seriously (and beg ur friends for 1k revives).
also the lore is amazing (i am a proud rat thing capable of human speech)

insanely difficult when i was 13, haven't touched the games since. bought because look cool and still had a fun time. don't crash out like me and I'm sure you'll like it.

Rich atmosphere, quiet moments, pretty design. Oh and an entire video game as a cherry on top!
