Necro Mutex

Necro Mutex is an old-school shooter with roguelike elements, playable on desktop or in VR. An Orcus Research Cartel station orbiting a deep space magnetar has gone rogue: its operating system killed the crew and turned them into thanatoids, half-dead monsters bent on murder. With the corporate A.I. back at Earth System triggering the station’s self-destruct sequence, you fight through the weaponized undead to find an escape pod before time runs out or they overwhelm you.

Choose your maps

The game has 10,000 maps, with difficulty rising from easy starting sectors to end sectors described as certain death. You can choose maps in any order, stay in easier areas or take on high-risk sectors for greater rewards. Maps begin small and manageable, then grow harder sector by sector until they become practically impossible; where that point lies depends on your skill. Extra map challenges offer larger rewards.

Weapons and survival skills

Completing maps earns rewards that you can spend on weapons and survival skills. You can find escape pods to complete the game, or keep playing to see how far you get. Multiple leaderboards track different game modes.

VR play

In VR, the game supports 360- and 180-degree tracking as well as step rotation. It can also be played as a desktop shooter.
