Shadowrun Returns dev announces action-roguelike Necropolis

[Administrator]

Shadowrun Returns developer Harebrained Schemes has announced its next project, a third-person action-roguelike called Necropolis.
Set in an ever-shifting realm that, Tardis-like, is "much, much bigger on the inside than the outside", you assume the role of an adventurer stuck in a domain ruled by a mad archmage and his even madder AI that lures pour souls into its realm to feed off them.
Unlike Shadowrun Returns, Necropolis' focus is on real-time combat. "At its core, Necropolis is an action game," the developer stated. "Unlike other popular Roguelikes, Necropolis features 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. You can't just button-mash and win."
