Necropolis thread
Torrent from CODEX is out, 1.5gb
this looks like a perfect game for early access - the design and game concepts are great it just needs a lot more polish and thought put into it.
Is there random matchmaking?I don't have any friends.

I hope this game bombs and the devs never make another game.
>>344796750
None of us do, thats why we're here.
>>344796750
Nope. You need to manually find people to play with or convince your friends to drop 30$ on this piece of shit.
its shit
I have the gog version Ipirated
It's pretty fun but after looking into it you can only play the gog version online with gog galaxy, an optional "not" DRM thing for multiplayer, and it's not even ready at launch
>>344796636
Damn shame it's been fully released and the devs don't plan to add content unless it "Sells well."
>>344797168
Its the same all gog games.
"you can play game without worrying about DRM oh you want to play with your friend well you have to use our DRM"
>>344797328
They are literally known for one thing and they fucked it all up
>>344797214
yeah i'll just play heavy bullets instead
That's disappointing. I've got a few games in but it's cracked so I can't play with anyone.
>>344796898
>Read the game's description

Dropped.
Guys I need to know
Is it shit
>>344798403
Hamachi or something?
>>344797214
Hahaha really? That's just retarded.
>>344798697
Oh stopped being so negative and retarded. The game has flaws that need to be addressed, but them "trying this hard" to be like a game they CLEARLY said they were influenced by and borrowed heavily from, big fucking deal.
>>344798752
yes lol
it's pretty much an EA game released as full
devs even answered some people on the forum who had questions about where the rest of the classes are and dev response was "they might get added in the future"
>>344796226
I really enjoyed their installer music.
Download was worth it for that.
Already uninstalled the game though.
Did anyone find out what the codexes do? I'm still using one I got for 3 tokens that seems to make you not hunger over time, only when doing specials
>>344798752
If you like the combat : no but it won't entertain you for long.
If you dislike it : yeah it's kinda shit
>>344795747
Played it at PAX this year and it really wasn't good.
I think I could probably get over the clunky controls if it actually had good level design, but what I played was just huge empty rooms with tons of random enemies placed everywhere.
If its procedurally generated then that explains my experience with it at least.
>not steamrolling till level 6
it's not that hard, enemies can get into huge numbers and that's where you can die. I'm cheesing them with my fuckhuge sword and a bomb thrower. Playing with kb+m because controllers don't work properly. I'm having a comfy time.
>>344798832
You're right, I should totally pay for this!
Fuck, I really wanted to like this game, but the devs are a bunch of incompetent hipsters.
They delayed it in March just to port it to consoles. During that whole time they didnt fix the janky animations and the fluidity of combat, they just shoehorned cringey dark humor.
>>344798912

There you go.
Wow for some reason I've been hyped for this game for so long and it finally comes out and I'm really excited to buy it and now I find out that it's shit and now I'm not even planning on pirating it.
Now I finally know how it feels. I don't like this feel :(
>>344799390
thanks anon
>>344799176
This reminds me of that minecraft joke book page that gets posted in cringe threads
>>344799442
go pirate furi instead
>people actually payed 29 euros or 30 dollars for this game
It's like a shitty flash game you would have played in your browser when you where 12 or something.
The artstyle isn't that bad but they do absolutely nothing with it, everything is gray. Combat is extremely slow, you would think they would speed it up considering that's where the soul series went.
The story is non-existent, it's basically throwing random pieces of text at you and expects that you go "wow such deep lore". Boss battles are LMAO here a bazillion dudes to fight and they are still pass easy.
2/10 glad I pirated it
>>344798752
yes
How the fuck do you play online?
>>344795747
This had potential, but seems like shit overall
>>344799248
they game's not worth 30 dollars, don't buy it. you're still retarded.
holy shit it's slow as fuck, almost unbearably
it's like someone took ds2 and made it twice as slow and even less responsive
pirated it right now, and my gpu gets more hot in this game than TW:W with scaling.
Shit's not optimised
>>344801359
vsync you idiot
>>344796226
Rumor is GoG version can multiplay with other GoGers. Any news on this? Hamachi?
>>344799663
Necropolis is definitely better than Furi.
>>344797045
/v/ in a nutshell.
How the everloving fuck did they actually decide to to several animations, most notable slash effects and the loot drop, AT ONLY 30 FUCKING FPS?
IT'S SUCH A GLARING AND PIECE OF SHIT THAT JUMPS OUT AND MAKES YOU WANT TO PUNCH SOMEONE
The game runs at 60, you go open a chest, and the loot flies up and drops down at 30 fps. Man, what the fuck.
>>344795747
I refuse to buy any game with this cheap ass unfinished style of graphics.
>>344795747
I just refunded it
it feels like an early access game, most of my time spent playing was thinking "gosh this game is gorgeous" then realizing the combat was just boring.
I looked around to see what kind of progression I could make after dying and it didn't seem like there was an awful lot.
I reckon with a lot more polish it could be a great game
>>344803186
Maybe you should invest the money on a "How To Differ Graphics From Art Style" course
>>344802449
>actually fell for the shills
>>344803519
Artstyle my ass, this is just as bad as those shitty retro pixels. Screams internship all the way.
>>344803764
Spotted the Ubisoft shill. You can now go back to sell DLCs, anon
>Bamco brought this piece of shit to consoles
>>344802176
hahaha how did you do that
>>344795747
>Camera lock
>Muh just like Dark Sewls
Shit game doomed before release. When will PC get a REAL action RPG?
>>344803906
Heh, how much does Harebrained Schemes pay you to shill here?
>>344804345
>>344800571
>>344803906
Try again, fampai
>>344802176
Holy fuck, is it in the game files already? They're gonna include this fucking turd as paid DLC?
Not gonna get this even on sale
>>344802176
>>344804142
>>344804714
What's exactly to see here? Different player model?
>>344804714
Until further info is released, it seems it's just a model swap and not a full blown character change.
>>344804817
Yeah that looks a lot like the model for one of the other two character types that were supposed to be in the game, in this case the Brute.
>>344804714
>>344804714
Yeah. They're already in the game files.
Brute has different animations and attacks.
Arcanist is buggy and doesn't have proper animations.
Honestly, no idea how it happened, I cracked the game and they were just there.
>>344804817
That's the Brute. They're planning to add that and the Arcanist as paid DLCs. Shit that is already in the game and ready to use
>>344804967
They did mention in their FAQ post that there's not gonna be "classes" nor differences between them other than the looks
well I'm enjoying it. if you do want to play co-op, model16 on steam.
>>344795747
Is there any sense of progression in this, like does your account retain levels for perks, or is it just characters until they die?
Can someone fill me in on the story with all this? What was the game supposed to be, indie Dark Souls or something?
"Necropolis has all the makings of a smash hit – the kind of Roguelike that hardcore players will brag about beating for years to come." - Hardcore Gamer
Light my ass on fire, but nobody will brag about a game this bland and won't be remembered.
Dark Souls and some other 2d indies already stole the status of being hard as fuck.
>>344805560
LURK MORE
jesus christ you guys
>>344805087
yeah because it's not an RPG they said, no classes, but different characters that still have different playstyles so...classes without stats I guess.
>>344795747
>game is released
>no incentive to buy it
welp, guess I'll wait for the inevitable 75% off sale next year
>>344805719
>but different characters that still have different playstyles so...classes without stats I guess
If that helps you deal with buyer's remorse, go ahead. They said there's zero difference out of their appearance and animations. Everyone can use every weapon, every potion, every spell. The only stats there's to consider are linked to each weapon, and they're not even shown ingame
>>344804967
>>344805087
Yeah, I remember seeing gameplay for different "classes" at some point or at least somebody mentioning it. Too bad they're playing the DLC card... Probably not wasting my money and time on this anymore.
>>344805880
Pretty much this. Exactly the kind of game that you have no good reason to buy on full price.
>>344805901
I haven't bought the game fucktard, where are you getting that from ?
I'm just stating the info that's been thrown around by devs about that topic.
hell I was being ironic about what they said about classes.
Dipshit.
How the fuck do I unlock the other character skins in this piece of shit
>30 dollars
>barebones
>poorly balanced co-op, easy to cheese the game to win
>shit "humor" written by an autistic 10 year old
too bad, I like how it looks though
>>344806102
>hell I was being ironic
>>344806238
>being ironic about something is pretending to be retarded
yeah that's not how it works. I was pointing out inconsistencies in the info they put out about the nature of the game not having classes because "its not an rpg" and still kind of having classes.
Fuck, I was sort of excited for the game but it's shit. Combat is just boring and slow, difficulty just increases by adding damage sponges and more enemies. Humour is way too much, once in a while would be fine but it's constant and annoying
Disappointed, I wanted it to be good
>>344806556
>Humour is way too much, once in a while would be fine but it's constant and annoying
Out of all the things wrong with this game, this sticks out the most. Who the fuck looked at Dark Souls at thought it needed some annoying helper character constantly bugging you? Even the Zelda series finally dropped that shit.
Are there any good coop roguelights?
had it on my wishlist, but it looks like ass. fuck you and fuck video games.
>>344801948
>Necropolis is definitely better than Furi.
>>344806136
Exactly my feelings
refunded after 3.5h
this was really dissapointing and not very enjoyable, janky animations and camera along with no content
maybe worth it on sale in 6months after it's been patched or something but 30 bucks for what feels like an alpha is pretty terrible
>>344806948
I'm so fucking mad about this. Like really
What does this codex do? Or this potion? Or this spell? Try to figure out through this two-three line tirade of randum meme humor LOL
Not to speak about the game getting repetitive and boring 20 minutes in. Way to fuck up an otherwise promising game
>>344795747
>Souls vibe/ripoff

Plus:
>Boring

>etc...
>they did this piece of shit instead of another shadowrun

Im having fun with it.
>30 dollars
>game takes 4 hours to beat
wew lad
>>344809129
to be fair that's like four times as long as any other rogue"lite" piece of shit
tried it but the game just feels big and empty as if 80% of all textures are missing and 50% of all props
still better combat than wither 3
>>344809076
dumb bratposter
>not telling you what potions & scrolls do
>not telling you what codex updates do
>not telling you weapon stats
>not telling you armour stats
are they fucking retarded?
>>344810964
Doesn't Rogue do that too?
>>344810964
Sad part is, every Codex is literally:
>Codex of Transparency For Dummies (And Other Magic Tricks!)
>Imagine if you could fall off of a building and survive, while avoiding all the poison darts that are being shot at you, and survive the poison too!?
>actual effect increases HP by 10%
They're ALL incredibly unspecific.
Worst game I've played all year.
Directly to my group of buyers remorse
>>344812687
just refund it nigga, these fags don't deserve money
>>344808873
Different team.
I think the Shadowrun team is doing Battletech at the moment.
>>344813449
If only it was the reverse. Maybe then this wouldn't have been such hot garbage.
>>344813610
I guess Harebrained has an A team and a B team like FROM.
>>344799442
>basing your opinions off of /v/
No wonder, you deserve to feel like shit
>actually looking forward to the game
>visit the store page
>'This game is so hard, you're gonna die like a million times, also it has rougelike elements, also be sure to get your friends to buy it too!'
That's pretty much every red flag checked. It's shit isn't it.
>>344814717
It's bland as fuck. No boss fights. Just never ending spawning of enemies. lackluster weapons, vague as shit progression upgrades. No real classes. Horrible humor. I had small hope for this game but fuck this is bad. Also no real matchmaking. Have to manually invite people to groups.
>30€ for shitty indie game with worse lore, equipment, art than DS
>20€ for DS with all dlc
I wonder which to pick
>>344810964
>being coddled this much
>>344814940
what lore? its literally filled with memes and 10 years old humour
tfw I pirated it and I have buyers remorse
>>344806102
>hell I was being ironic
>>344815426
Nice summarization of Dark Souls loreGive me your (You)'s
I think they took "minimalism" a bit too literally with all the lacking...everything. Devs should stick to Shadowrun games, atleast those are good
>>344803764
>I only play Call of Duty: the post
>>344815806
The character art is nice, and many of the enemies. the enivorments though, jesus. A little color please
>>344816017
The player character has more detail to it than an entire level
>>344799592
>The last person down on this level settled down and had a family... He was destroyed!

Waiting for a thread on /vg/ so I can get out of this /b/-tier high-school of a board
>>344816313
This doesn't feel worthy of a general
How did they manage to make the combat feel this dull and unsatisfying? It lacks any "punch", the animations are floaty and movement feels completely weightless. I had to double check if this wasn't an Early Access title.
However the ambiance and music is pretty good. The sound design in general is good and a contrast to the "untextured Unity game" aesthetic.
Also - is there any reason to use anything other than a 2-hander? You can stun-lock enemies so easily the game becomes a cakewalk.
>>344795747
Yay or nay on this game, /v/?
I don't plan on buying it til it price drops, though.
>>344816251
much better
>>344816551
Nay. I can guarantee that if you're expecting a Dark Souls-like, you'll be sorely disappointed.
>>344816551
nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay nay

Why exactly is it a nay?

FUCKING
WHY?
>>344816963
High price, low gameplay
>>344799390
Really it's one of the more bad ass tunes they've used.
>>344817141
Can you be more descriptive?
What do you mean low gameplay?
>>344805051
>Arcanist, Son of Dicks
Either I need glasses or I have been here far too long.
>>344817075
Why the fuck would anyone ever want to invert the X axis?
So the game is DRM free but I can't pirate with my friends and play it online?
>>344817414
read the fucking thread holy shit
>>344817476
Im playing with a controller and I usually play flight sims, I like having X and Y inverted
I just think its odd that you can get one inverted and not the other
>>344816551
Nay, the game's empty and lacking as hell
>>344816963
>Terrible, unsatisfying combat
>Enemies spawn out of thin-air
>Weapon balance issues
>The levels not only look bland but the geography itself is bland, as well - every level is basically a set of tunnels and arenas

There's a lot more, but I won't bother listing all the issues.
>>344817631
Huh, everything except
>Enemies spawn out of thin-air
and
>Game gives absolutely no info about how good/bad a weapon or shield is, not even a vague point of reference other than a tier level
Is Skyrim in a nutshell
I bought it. I returned it. No sense of progression, the codexes don't seem to do much, the different weapon types have very little variety and the game is ridiculously easy for what they've advertised.
>>344816176
Thats what makes me mad
Imagine if this game didnt have unlimited spawning enemies. That way, you feel like you clear and explore a floor without it being a pain in the ass
Imagine if the game just had a little color and a few more scenery props. itd be worthy of its art style.
Imagine a pool of 10 bosses that would be selected to appear every few floors
Imagine if the enemies were challenging
This game has a fun game hiding behind it. A rouge-lite coop focused dark souls with a little diablo in it. Itd be amazing.
But, thats not what we get.
>>344817414
Aight.
Think of a normal flat sword and board. Watch an enemies windup, strafe left or right with a shield raised, then attack.
Youve just made the entirety of this games gameplay. Gameplay alterations are a sword that swings fast and a club that swings slower. Stuff that swings slower and heavier doesnt necessarily stun more.
Stages are just walk around and find an exit, and then in the next stage every enemy hits a little harder, and has a little more health.
I think the game was marketed with its coop feature headlined because thats the only real value of the game. That phenomena when games are more fun just because you dragged your fun friends inside it.
I paid 33$CDN for it, and it would be probably worth it at 15-20$. But apparently it is getting no free updates
I used to know what good vidya was. But they changed what vidya was. Now what I like isn't good, and what is good seems weird and scary to me.
It will happen to you!
This game is severely lacking in content, I was expecting a roguelike dungeon crawl in the spirit of binding of isaac and there's such a lack of weaponry and things to alter your playstyle with.
Overpriced as fuck too, glad I pirated it.
>>344817938
>That phenomena when games are more fun just because you dragged your fun friends inside it
That's exactly why i found Magicka to be dull
Do the enemies really respawn? That'll be a dealbreaker for me.
>>344818463
Yes. They'll even respawn in front of you.
>>344818540
Only saw red ones do that, but they only spawn when you get near the crystals
>>344818112
Magicka has tons more than this
Holy fuck how did they manage to make the animations and combat this bad.
>>344818885
I know, and i still found it dull
>finally get a hand crossbow
>it deals bad damage and eats away at your max fatigue
This game shits all over you at every turn of the road. I pirated it and still feel ripped off
Game crashes every time I boot it up without even getting to the title screen. Anyone else experiencing this?
>>344819550
What's your toaster?
I got to level 5 and my biggest complaint is the fact that you need to be using the power attacks which eat at your max stamina. But, it's stupid easy to obtain the mats for iron steak-ums which slows the whole thing down.
>attack a couple enemies
>use power attack 2x
>they dead
>Have to eat/make more steak-ums
>ad infinitum
>>344819664
>>344819890
I've just started, how do I level up my char ?
>>344820986
Level 5 of the dungeon. Your equipment is effectively your level.
>>344820986
>Dead on arrival
This is sad
>>344821273
It's not horrendous and I appreciate the the style of movement and camera control. It just has some kinks. I won't buy it so I can't review it either. Not that my opinion would matter.
>>344817938
I agree, the game is overpriced for what it is, and feels like it could've been a lot more if they worked on it, it's still legit fun with some friends and teamspeak though, no as difficult as they promote it to be, even if it's obviously easier playing in coop, but still a nice game to just hop in with some friends and clear a couple floors.
>>344796226
Fuck off pirate, it's people like you that cause new IPs like this to die prematurely
refunded this piece of shit game, it is the most boring shit i've ever played. There is not even more than 1 boss in this fucking game either. No challenge
>>344795747
Is this a screenshot of an early alpha?
>>344797412
More like they fixed it, if GoG releases would be so easily pirateable and able to be played online who the fuck would release their game there?
I feel like my game slows down when I attack. Not that my attack is slow, but that the game itself slows down whenever I attack. Is this normal?
Indie shit has a serious case of price creep.
Are unlocked codexes permanent, or can you lose them?
what's the point of chalk? it would be useful in larger quantities but as it is it uses two uncommon materials and only produces one use.
>>344822445
If people would bother to release demos these days there would be a lot less people pirating it day one.
Hits have so little impact to it
Not my jam. Got bored after the first hour or so.
It has potential though.
Just died on floor 5, using the Pyramid Great Scythe I double tapped ctrl before using the charged heavy, had 3 large reds, when I double tapped it used twice as much stam as it should have and I could literally only swing one light attack before exhausting, so i got chain stunned down because you can't disrupt the fuckers with just one swing.
This gaem is neat but it's so fucking retarded, you literally have no idea what the weapons do, there's no stats. Also armor affects your MS and dodge distance, but you'd have no way of knowing that, I hada t2 plate set and went into a t3 desert and got more hp and my ms basically doubled and my dodge was also doubled, but there's no indication, just some dumb fucking useless description. Whoever decided to Burch this game shoudl be fucking shot, Borderlands dumbass descriptive style works for those games because they also lay out the fucking stats. Bout to enter the Necropolis a second time, I have no idea if the codexes are useful or what they even do. Also the craftable potion is a short duration invis, you'd never know that from it's dumbass description.
My favorite thing from this game is that you can animation cancel your swings, so you can switch to a heavy in teh middle of a light, thank fuck at least one of the monkeys that made this game realized that if they're going to make combat this fucking slow and heavy that we don't have to sit through an hour long animation if we choose the wrong attack
>>344824784
Why would they release a demo if their game is shit
>>344824363
I think they thought people would get lost and this was some breadcrumb shit.
>>344799354
>They delayed it in March just to port it to consoles
fucking retards
