3. Necropolis

Now this doesn't look quite like anything we've seen before. With a sparing, shadowy visual style and a world design filled with sharp angles and jutting polygons, Necropolis is an action-RPG that sees you wander through a dark but stunning world, battling mysterious otherworldly enemies.

The cel-shading in Necropolis gives it echoes of Wind Waker, but when you get into the combat, it's full of Souls, as you need to monitor your stamina bar, dodge, consume health potions in a way that doesn't get you killed while you're glugging them down.

Oh, and try not to die... because once you're dead, you ain't coming back and will need to start a fresh playthrough. Yes, really.

The world is procedurally-generated, so each run is different. If you find yourself struggling, then in true Souls fashion, you can team up with up to three buddies to make things a little easier.
