City of Brass is a first person action-adventure game with roguelike elements. In this game, you take on the role of a daring thief trying to survive in an Arabian-styled fantasy city full of monsters. You need to rush through the levels before your time runs out, filling your pockets with loot and destroying or avoiding enemies.

Whip your way to victory

The protagonist in City of Brass is armed with a whip, which you can use to stun or trip enemies, pick up objects, set off traps, and more. You also have a more conventional weapon that you use to hack your foes as well as a range of movement actions that let you sprint, jump, vault over walls and so on. Levels are procedurally generated, traps are everywhere, and time is always short. Scattered throughout the levels are vendors you can use to upgrade your equipment and abilities, but using the world and its traps as a weapon is the best path to success. Challenging and fluid, this is a game that tests not only your reflexes but your ability to improvise under pressure.

A fun Arabian Nights adventure

If you like action games like Mirror's Edge and fantasy settings, City of Brass is definitely worth a look. The whip takes a little getting used to, but it's a versatile and interesting mechanic.
