Our take on Necrosis: Dawn of Dread
The asymmetric Sewer mission assigns one player to guide the squad through cameras, traps, and door controls while the rest navigate the underground level.
What is Necrosis: Dawn of Dread?
Necrosis: Dawn of Dread is a first-person co-op survival horror game for up to 4 players, with 17 missions across 15 environments.
Teams scavenge supplies, solve puzzles, and fight undead enemies while managing limited ammunition and character abilities. Survivors have different roles, weapons, and strengths, so players coordinate to cover one another. Encounters, item locations, and some puzzles are randomized between runs, while levels offer multiple routes and strategies. The game also includes single-player with AI teammates, matchmaking, voice and text chat, and several difficulty settings. Additional modes include an asymmetric mission where one player guides the team using cameras, traps, and doors, and a defense mode with escalating enemy waves.
