Necropolis felt to me like Dark Souls (Combat) and Journey (Aesthetics) had a Rogue-Like love child. Its silly and immersive presentation was probably its strongest point. Enemy design was interesting and entertaining with a few nice surprises. I was glad to see a progression system build in, I did find myself wishing they better explained what each rune and item does though. I could not find any friends brave enough to spend $30 on a mixed review game, so I unfortunately cannot report on the multiplayer portion, which I suspect was supposed to be a big part of the game considering where they placed the invite buttons (right in front of your face in the options menu). I enjoyed Necropolis, I found it scratched that itch I've been having to play a FromSoft title (still waiting for that Bloodborne 2 announcement!) My only major issues with the game was its repetitive nature and the lack of boss battles, since in my opinion, boss battles are always my favourite moments. This game will not be for everyone, some will find it too easy, while others will find its frustratingly difficult for unfair reasons. In my personal experience with the game, if you take your time, and engage the enemy in smart ways, you will have little difficulty (the tried and true method of completing any FromSoft title). If more content is released in the future, I will definitely be stepping back into the Necropolis.
