About
Crypt of the NecroDancer is an indie roguelike game developed by Brace Yourself Games.
You control Cadence, who looks for her missing father. During the search, she falls into a crypt, where the NecroDancer steals Cadence's heart. Cadence can't do anything without following the music's beat and has to find both her heart and her father.
Crypt of the NecroDancer can be played with a dance pad, a gamepad or a keyboard. Having the Protagonists able to do anything only as the music beats makes the Crypt of the NecroDancer a rhythm roguelike game. Movement, attacking and using your items has to be planned in advance, as the player can't do anything between the beats. If the player misses the beat, no actual harm to the character is done, yet the scoring multiplier resets. The players set out to explore a procedurally generated underground dungeon.
The players can find new weapons, items, and equipment during the exploration of the dungeon. Your inventory is managed by the game. As in most roguelike games, your inventory is lost on death, yet any diamonds the players find still persists. On death, the players return to a game lobby, where they can buy permanent upgrades.

Crypt of the NecroDancer reviews and comments
I love rhythm games and those with a good OST. This one is in both of those types. However, it gets so repetitive and I was bored by the end of the second level (out of four). The rewards that I would buy weren't enough to keep me motivated with the game. Had to give up.
«Just one more turn»
«OST on repeat»
8/10 - A very good roguelite rhythm game, it not my tipe of game but its very well made.

The mechanics of the Game are simple but impressively used.
At first, the Design of the Levels and the Behavior of the Monsters is still relatively simple and you can fight your way through the first Dungeon without a big Sweat, but the Level Of difficulty increases drastically from Level to Level.
The Characters are nicely staged and the Music fits the Action perfectly (as it should be).
The little Story is also ok, but nothing that reinvents Worlds.
Personally, It was a lot of Fun for me, both alone and with a Friend, and that's why I recommend it to anyone who likes to fight their way through a few pixelated Dungeons. :)-M

Early Access Review The Game is wonderful.
The pixel look, as is often used nowadays, is simple yet very appealing.
The Soundtrack is wonderful. Each Stage offers a new Piece of Jewellery, which is enhanced by the grandiose Shopkeeper.
The Game principle is something new. It can be very challenging to stay on the Beat, but it is precisely this Challenge that makes every Run difficult again. For anyone who doesn't have a great Sense Of tact, the Bard fashion still still remains, where you can just jump around freely next to the Beat.
All in all, it's one of the best Rogue-Like games since Binding of Isaac and worth every Penny, early access back or forth < 3

One of the most dependent Games for In Between and a real Party Bang along with Dance Mats that I happen to own. It's as simple as It is Ingenious. Control with 4 Buttons (Arrow Keys) and by instigating the Monsters, you attack them. And you can only move to the Rhythm of the Music. But be careful that a Monster doesn't attack you beforehand. The Number of Weapons and the different Ranges are really very well thought out. And almost the best is the Background Music and that the Shopkeeper sings along, the Closer you get to the Shopkepper ^^ Even after over 120 Hours of Play, I still sing a Duet with the Shopkepper XD And finally I also have the singing Shopkeeper Plush Figure xD

Little funny Game.
What's Nice is: It can be paused, the Music is reminiscent of PCs with Fieptones (Pixel Art), but is not annoying but groovy. Through different Characters (some of which have to be played), the Difficulty is also different and the Game is not over too quickly.
Actually, I'm not a Jump & Run or the like fan (and not very good either), but the Game is pleasant: Not too heavy, not too light, even worse players can gradually come forward.
The Multiplayer mode, where two People can be played on a PC, is also funny.
Overall: Very nice to play it again and again.
Bought At Akttion (for about 5 EUROS, just it costs 2.99 EUROS), that was worth it (me)!
