City of Brass Gets New Gear in Latest Update

Uppercut Games have released a large new update for their Arabian Nights-inspired roguelite, City of Brass.

The Blacksmith’s Forge update adds a ton of new weapons for the game’s four characters to discover. There’s 16 new weapons altogether, including a variety of crossbows, spears, swords, and gauntlets. The update also adds new environmental hazards that can be picked up and thrown, such as bee hives and the Urn of Frost. You can read more about the update here.


Here’s a rundown of the game:

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.

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…

City of Brass is available on Windows PC (via Steam), PS4, and Xbox One for $19.99.
