andai Namco Entertainment America has teamed up with Jordan Weisman’s Harebrained Schemes to bring Necropolis, a permadeath dungeon-action game, to home gaming consoles.

Longtime game creator Weisman, the chief creative officer of Seattle-based Harebrained Schemes, told GamesBeat that his company will continue to work on the PC version. Necropolis combines third-person action and roguelike dungeon-delving. If you die once, you have to start the whole dungeon over again.
