    Rouge-lite One Thousand and One Nights themed game made in Unreal Engine 4. It's both simple and rich in content. It plays like Skyrim, or maybe more like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. I miss Prince of Persia games so much and City of Brass has the perfect mythos and the atmosphere for me.

    Lots of creative gameplay elements like wish genies, the whip and it's countless utilities,    Rouge-lite One Thousand and One Nights themed game made in Unreal Engine 4.

    Lots of creative gameplay elements like wish genies, the whip and it's countless utilities, lots of classes to and lots of passives to unlock, lots of environmental objects to interact with, wide enemy variety, magic potions, lots of different weapons, beautiful environments, beautiful sound design and the overall nostalgic aura the game has is great.

    And all this coupled with regular patches and content updates keep the game fresh and live.

    I just feel a warm love for this game, and I definitely recommend it.    … Expand

    For the first couple of hours City of Brass was lots of fun, mainly thanks to the whip, which is a cool, versatile tool, and the game’s unique setting. Then scarcity of content reared its head and despite the efforts of a very capable procedural generation algorithm repetitiveness became more and more wearisome. [07/2018, p.50]

    Provided you keep expectations in check, City of Brass can be fun. The game is set up well for those starting out with roguelikes, and the various tweaks ensure that everyone has a chance to see the ending. For the hardcore, it can also be tweaked to be tougher, and that'll be necessary if you want any kind of challenge. This doesn't feel like a long-lasting experience, but the presence of leaderboards will be an incentive to those who might want to speed-run through the game. If you don't mind a few of the aforementioned flaws, then give this title a chance.

    Solid and in deeper levels absorbent roguelike game from a fresh shooter view. The game doesn´t lack charm, but to keep your attention it would need twice as much. [Issue#286]
