Our take on Necrolepsy
Rather than keeping difficulty constant, the game ties a rising challenge to its countdown: once time runs out, enemies and bosses become harder. Its replay settings also include alternate modes such as boss rush and beach volleyball.
What is Necrolepsy?
Necrolepsy is an action platformer starring bounty hunter Lira, who travels through a strange world while seeking a cure for her condition.
Its levels combine platforming, combat, and item searching in a metroidvania structure. A countdown runs during play; when it reaches zero, nightmare mode begins and enemies and bosses become harder. The game has four large levels with distinct themes and challenges, plus altered textures in nightmare mode. Combat uses momentum and weight, letting Lira launch, push, and juggle enemies with a combo system that can award extra money for varied moves. Replay options include filters that make nightmares permanent or keep the game in nightmare mode, an arcade-style lives setting, boss rush, and beach volleyball.
