Also announced is that Necropolis will have a four-player cooperative mode when it launches. Conceptually, it’ll operate the same as the single player experience.

In Necropolis, you play as a nameless adventurer attempting to escape the deadly, multi-tiered dungeon of the Archmage Abraxis. To do this you’ll need to fight through the monsters that Abraxis has collected over his lifetime.

 

At the core of the game is a combat system based on timing and animation. “It’s fast and deadly – learn to anticipate enemy attack patterns, time your actions for maximum effect, and use smart combinations of heavy and light attacks to defeat your enemies,” says Harebrained Schemes.
