Crypt Of The NecroDancer Returns From The Dead With "Huge New DLC"

Time to start dancing for my life again…..

another indie game that I must play, so many amazing indie games so little time.

I have this on my hacked vita, but I don't know if that got the update with this dlc. I do own Cadence on switch, but... you know... that's got skull kid in it.

The DLC is cool, but it also added mod support in the PC version, which I am assuming is not here. It would be cool if there was a way to get that kind of stuff on the Switch version too.

YES! YES! YES! YES! Finally! I don't really like rhythm and roguelike/roguelite games. My favourite character in the game is Bard, 'cause with him you can walk freely. And I like Dove, 'cause you don't (and can't?) need to fight bosses and going just right to the exit... I meant, I'm really looking forward to play the game with "no beat" mode, or whatever it's called.

That's great! Love these games. Now praying for more Cadence content / a sequel

I wonder if this is what will get me into this game.
I have Cadence of Hyrule, but absolutely do not jive with having to redo everything in a roguelike.

@Solomon_Rambling Yeah, I don't think I ever got beyond the third level — difficulty spike was crazy sharp.

@Mariotag For me it really depends on how long the run is. I'm really enjoying Dead Cells as you can blast through levels in a matter of minutes if you're feeling spry. Hades though, as much as I love how it's crafted, I find the some of the longer, >25 minute runs kind of a slog, especially with the energy-sapping penultimate level where you feel like all of your careful damage evasion was for naught

@Bobb I'm relatively okay at rhythm games, I think for these games specifically you absolutely need to know the amount of moves enemies have ahead of time, because when you take more than one of them head on and mistime their rhythm they can utterly destroy you within a few seconds

I tried the demo for Cadence of Hyrule the other day. I must say I’m not a fan. I don’t have an issue with keeping the rhythm or anything, I just didn’t find it a particularly interesting concept or game mechanic to base a whole game around. Plus I didn’t think the music was that great either (other than the title screen), which for a game based around music isn’t ideal!

@GravyThief once hifi comes to switch it’ll all be worth it man it’s that good

I'm one of those who really enjoyed the music in Cadence of Hyrule, but didn't find the gameplay interesting at all. Plus the difficulty level was all over the place, either way too easy, either way too hard. It was just not fun. I managed to clear both the story and DLC, but I certainly have no interests for more.
Happy for those who enjoy the "main" game, they're getting what seems like plenty of new things to do.
Usually the trailers for this game have nice strong music, this one was lacking in comparison.

Take the "bard" and you have a really good rogue/nethack like game ! And you can still enjoy the music !

I love zelda, "zelda-likes," roguelikes, and rhythm games, and I just cant stand these games. every so often i redownload one if them (i have crypt in my switch right now) thinking it can't be that bad...

different strokes! I would quickly and easily reroll these for a different officially sanctioned Zelda spinoff, though. ✌️

I've tried this game and Cadence of Hyrule on a couple of occasions. I could definitely appreciate the great game that is there, but I can't hack it for the life of me. Glad to see it still getting support as I feel it should.

Weird that this article makes it sound like the DLC is free with no mention of the $7. Was going to grab this since the base game is on sale for $4 but I was mislead and the DLC costs more than the game.

@Andee I thought 'I'll just do a quick Dead Cell run before bed, gather some souls' the other night. Ended up being a 55+ minute run and my first clear.

@LoneHammerBro oh snap! I just got finished playing it and got as far as I ever have (Just beat the clock tower boss!)
