Crypt of the NecroDancer is a roguelike rhythm game where players fight their way through ever-changing dungeons in sync with the music. Since each run is unique, no two playthroughs are the same. Movements and attacks sync with the soundtrack, making the music an integral part of the gameplay’s pace.
Enemies follow distinct rhythms and attack patterns, challenging players to learn and adapt. Each boss fight features its own musical theme, adding to the game's unique charm. The soundtrack, composed by Danny Baranowsky – known for Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac – enhances the experience. Beyond Cadence, the game's heroine, players can unlock additional characters with unique abilities. Progressing through the game rewards diamonds, which can be used for permanent upgrades and new gear.
Crypt of the NecroDancer, developed by Brace Yourself Games and published in collaboration with Klei Entertainment, launched in April 2015. Since then, it has amassed around 22,000 Steam reviews, with an impressive 95% positive rating. Normally priced at around $15, the game is currently available for just under $3, thanks to a massive 80% discount. This offer runs until February 18, likely in celebration of the release of Rift of the NecroDancer, a spin-off featuring mini-games, boss battles and a story mode with level-based challenges.
