Harebrained Schemes’ new adventure has shark men

“A third-person action game with shark men? Okay, I’ll let them know.”

I ever so foolishly forgot that Shadowrun Returns maker Harebrained Schemes has Necropolis, “a game of brutal combat and survival,” in its pipeline. The latest are fabulous.

Promises of an “ever-changing dungeon” don’t do much for me these days, but Necropolis‘ low-poly art and “combat system based on timing and animation” have me on board like whoa.

There’s also an interesting backstory brewing here — the Necropolis calls to adventurers in hopes that it can feed off their energy — but I’ll leave you to Rob’s prior in-depth coverage of the setting. Harebrained Schemes is bringing Necropolis to PAX East next weekend. Booth #10187. Enjoy.
