Developed by Harebrained Schemes · Published by Paradox Interactive, Bandai Namco









You play as an adventurer delving into the Necropolis, a dangerous dungeon of twisting halls and chasms. The game can be played alone or in drop-in, drop-out co-op with up to three other players.
Explore each floor, fight monsters with weapons and defensive maneuvers, and search for weapons, armor, potions, scrolls, and other useful items. You can also craft equipment and use traps and environmental hazards to your advantage.
Dungeons are procedurally generated, and death ends a run permanently, sending you back with a new adventurer. Each attempt builds your combat skills and dungeon knowledge while offering new equipment and upgrades. The Brutal Edition adds the Brute character, the wintry Black Forest, and additional enemies and items.
Reviewers who enjoy the game often point to playing co-op with friends, its distinctive visual style and atmosphere, and the appeal of its challenging dungeon runs. Views on combat differ: some find it engaging once learned, while others describe it as clunky. Common criticisms include limited, repetitive content, the lack of ongoing updates, and the asking price.
