Crypt of the NecroDancer Review



Crypt of the NecroDancer is a roguelike game in which your goal is to find the answers to your family mysteries. This game is all about music, rhythm and is sure to make you shake your bones while playing!


Just like the theme, the gameplay is all about movement. You can move in four directions, and that is it! But do not let this simplicity prevent you from seeing further, you have to move and fight your enemies at the beat of the music. So, despite being simple, which is great for newcomers, it offers a lot of challenge! Actually, gets to a point that is so challenging that we could not finish the game with the last character... Too hard for us. T_T 

The progression is straight forward, as you complete each zone you get to know more about the mystery surrounding Cadence's family. You also get diamonds as you play the game, this diamonds can be used to buy temporary and permanent upgrades, as well as to increase the loot tables on chests you find during your adventures.
Crypt of the NecroDancer is a unique game, with a very creative setup, that masterly uses the whole music theme to make an experience that is so captivating that is sure get the party started, literally! On top of the great soundtrack you have wonderful 8-bit characters, a well done voice-over and procedurally generated dungeons, for that extra replayability!

Final Score: 10 out of 10.
