Necropolis has some problems big and small, but parsing through some of the complaints levelled by other reviewers disappointed me.
Get on Xbox Games StoreNecropolis is a fantasy action roguelike with single-player and multiplayer modes for up to two players. The game features a living dungeon with shifting layouts, monsters, and magic, overseen by the Brazen Head. Despite impressive visuals, purposely humorous tone, and compelling music, it suffers from optimization issues, bugs, and can be very grinding. The atmosphere is sensational, but the experience is marred by frequent ads.

Necropolis Review – This Is No Dark Souls
Necropolis started out boring, transitioned to annoying, and ended up being frustrating. There’s no fun to be had here.
30%Necropolis review
Necropolis fails to capture the magic of its influences
55%Necropolis review
Ghoulish creature design and fun combat are weakened by long boring stretches, clueless AI, and snickering obscurity.
