Let’s siege some dungeons

Since we last checked on Necropolis, the third-person action roguelike from Shadowrun Returns maker Harebrained Schemes, it gained four-person cooperative play. Why die alone when you can go down in flames with your dearest friends? Gentlemen, it’s time to make a blood pact.

Its combat emphasizes timing and positioning so, yeah, I’m looking forward to playing — especially now that co-op is confirmed. That’s a promising hook for this type of game. I just hope the procedural generation is good. Admittedly, my tolerance for roguelikes isn’t what it used to be.
