First-Person Arabian Nights Rogue-Lite!
Become a daring thief in City of Brass, a first-person action adventure from senior BioShock developers. Armed with scimitar and a versatile whip, you’ll lash and slash, bait and trap your way to the heart of an opulent, Arabian Nights-themed metropolis – or face certain death as time runs out.
Welcome to Update 1.5: Revenant's Bolt
Revenant's Bolt adds a new crossbow-wielding playable character - the Revenant!
Also look out for new Weapons and Relics to find.
This City Has Teeth!
Players will have to leap across pits, slide under blades, avoid spears or arrows, evade or employ sprung paving slabs, and skirt round poison gas traps – all the while manipulating these dangers to their advantage against enemies.
Deadly Magic, Mischievous Genies!
Incarcerated within the city are genies, most of them friendly, who will barter benefits in return for loot or grant wishes for a powerful advantage.
Endless Death, Eternal Replayability!
The rhythmic interplay between sword and whip is carefully tuned along with sprinting, crouching, sliding, leaping and vaulting to give a fluid, balanced and natural feel to the movement and melee. Eternal replayability is granted by a design that encourages combinative gameplay within an ever-changing but logical procedurally generated world. Players will die in the City of Brass – often, and quite horribly – but they will always want to come back for just one more try…
Storyline
Set in a sprawling, procedurally shifting city drawn from the fantastical world of the Arabian Nights, the tale casts the player as a daring thief with a single, all-consuming ambition: to reach the fabled treasure said to lie hidden at the very heart of a mythical metropolis. But the glittering prize is far from unguarded. The city's winding corridors, sunlit courtyards, and shadowed rooms are riddled with deadly traps and prowled by dangerous enemies, each obstacle standing between the thief and untold riches. Armed with a slashing scimitar and a versatile whip, the intruder must fight, outwit, and scramble ever deeper into the labyrinth, plundering wealth along the way while racing against time. Every step forward is a gamble, as the ancient city guards its legendary fortune with lethal cunning.
