Crypt of the NecroDancer

this game is very cute and has a great soundtrack
im not a fan of roguelikes and this one is incredibly difficult but power to ya if thats ur cup of tea

Incredibly fun, but incredibly difficult. It's a game that really rewards you for playing well, but can just as easily punish you.

I think this is my first roguelike I've really played, and I gotta say it's quite a unique experience.

Now this is a game, dying in less than a minute over and over and over and over and over has never been more fun! One day I might even unlock coda

+even has hatsune miku

I love how it implements rhythm game elements into the traditional roguelike format. Soundtrack and item variety are also fantastic!

The game is pretty fun, but I'm not very skilled and often have my hands full. It's my problem, not the game's.

I bought this game because Hatsune Miku DLC and to be honest; this game is like a gem for me even without DLC. I love how this game choose the music and how they design theirs characters both player and monsters. I enjoy the game even after dying so many times and I'll continue to enjoy this. thank you so much for such a fun game. 10/10

A very pleasant rhythm game, which has no alternatives

I've spent all this time playing multiplayer and had tons of fun with it, but this is only the beginning....

• Unique challenging gameplay
  
• Great music
  
• A variety of monsters, bosses, weapons, items, characters
  
• Pleasant art style and a harmoniously presented plot
  
[*]And the icing on the cake - is the opportunity to play your own music

atcion rythme game much goood n very addicting with many replayability

The game is satisfyingly difficult and while the learning curve is a bit steep it's so fun to play after some time.

wow just wow what can i say about this game other then it is completely awesome i love being able to put your own music in and its just a really fun game in general the soundtrack is absolutely fire and the characters are sick i have the miku dlc and i love her character so much any game could be better with a miku dlc now if your still reading this and havent decided to buy it then im kind of dissapointed that you would miss out on such PEAK.

took me 800 hours to get 100% on this game. highly recommend, there's nothing quite like it

Increible juego, muy entretenido, yo no suelo jugar mucho por cuestiones de trabajo y familia, pero cuando quiero distraerme un rato con algunas runs, este juego es el indicado,
lo recomiendo ampliamente, el estilo visual es muy bonito y el estilo de juego es único, nunca había jugado algo así.

After picking this back up again after several years since the release, I remembered why I loved this game. The simplicity of the system rewards the tactics of the player so delve right in and find out your path through trial and error!

This game requires a lot of willpower. If you can't keep calm, you're practically dead. Learn enemy patterns and you're good to go.

Very cool game concept in general.

The game is too hard for me to actually finish, but the two zones I managed to beat were a fun experience. I don't know if I'll ever get to the end.

this is the game that i like but i am terrible at playing. great soundtrack

This game is PERFECT. Combining rhythm mechanics with roguelite mechanics is such a genius idea, it's hard to believe there aren't more games like this. You want to retry runs just to hear the songs again.

This game is very difficult, but it's FAIR. Naturally there's plenty of variance with procedural generation, but (almost) every single enemy is perfectly predictable. With such a small health pool, you really feel as though you're dancing on a razor's edge between victory and defeat in every floor. This game takes hundreds of hours to master - the skill ceiling is unbelievably high and provides endless replayability.

10/10.

Hot Take: I hate that in order to get the full story of some rogue like games, I have to complete multiple runs.


Anyway.....

This is one of the most charming yet brutal games i've ever played. It's got the 8 bit art style and music to make you feel like this is gonna be a grand ole' easy time.....

BUT IT AIN"T THAT ONCE YOU HIT ZONE 4

Zone 4 made me question my manhood.

Zone 4 made me realize I need therapy.

Zone 4 made me realize I might die alone someday.

Zone 4 is god's way of saying "Life's not fair, he's an expired coupon for free mac and cheese at your local Walmart." after you were murdered in a double homicide.

Regardless, this game is amazing.

9/10

This game is fun but I'm shit at it, I'm glad they added Miku!

I haven't played a rhythm before and found this incredibly fun. It's very satisfying to get incrementally better while listening to phenomenal music. Really scratches the Binding of Issac itch for me

Amazing music, beautiful art, challenging gameplay. Zone 3 dual music is fire.

Synchrony DLC were modders that was approached by devs.

Plus hatsune miku

Very good game. Don't try to import the song Bonetrousle from Undertale into it. 8/10.

This game is hard as nails, but absolutely fantastic, fun, and rewarding. I highly recommend for anyone that likes a roguelike challenge and/or rhythm games.

This game has a long learning curve, but is entirely worth the pain you will suffer on the path to perfection!

Really fun and addicting! The soundtrack is the best part as I often will just listen to its soundtrack while I work. The game is fun too and the gameplay is a fun experiment of rhythm mixed with 2d action. the game gets absurdly difficult really fast so you'd have to be a masochist to try to complete it, but its fun as a casual game

A really nice roguelike, the rhytm aspect is easy to learn but hard to master, there is a wide variety of possible builds you can have with all the equipment
The enemy variation is enough to keep you on your toes :D

This game goes from Easy mode if you're playing casually to Asian mode if you're going for all achievements. I'm Asian so obviously I got all the achievements, and this is the hardest thing I've ever done in a video game by far. This game made me feel emotions I didn't know existed on both ends of the spectrum. I'm literally going to see a therapist to recover from the emotional trauma inflicted when going for completion of this game.

10/10 would recommend.

This game is, simply put, a masterpiece. It holds up 10 years later as one of the very best in its genre. This is coming from somebody who generally dislikes rhythm games. It pushes you into a generated world full of different enemies that you must master planning your moves around. The predictable moveset means that at each turn, you have the chance to plow through the competition, given you have the skills required. Each world is full of a new set of enemies, all coming with their own beautiful character art to match the scene. I will definitely by coming back to this game in the future.

Verdict: 10/10 - Must Play

If you're good at rhythm games, fine. If no, this game is very punishing and the normal way that games like this tend to help you progress when you're struggling (i.e. getting upgrades in the lobby area so that you're stronger on your next run) don't make much impact here. The result was a really steep difficulty curve, particularly since the rhythm movement prevents you from ever being able to stop and read the description for items/upgrades being offered.
My experience was frustrating and disappointing

this game is so genuinely fun, it feels so nice to play and it's unironically addicting, I love it

im thankful for the fact that its 80% off, but the fact that i only had to pay 4 dollars for probably one of the best rhythm games ive ever played feels kinda like im a thief. it mixes two niche genres together but it somehow is really fun with both of them. its definitely not the easiest game to get used to, but its still really really really fun regardless

Tight gameplay, great pixelart, cool characters, eight awesome soundtracks by absolute legends, and Hatsune Miku.

Pain in the ass, but in a good way. I love rhythm games and roguelikes so this game is peak

this game is such a classic. absolutely adore everything about it! difficult but fair after you understand each enemy's attack pattern. Crypt of the NecroDancer is absolutely worth buying.

This game is so addicting. It's a dungeon crawler, rouge-like that has procedurally generated dungeons. The growth I experienced when playing this game felt immaculate. I would recommend this game for anyone who wants a challenge.

Play to the rhythm of a banger soundtrack; find the best move each beat against enemies with varied attack patterns. You have to constantly be on the lookout for audio and visual cues.

Probably one of the hardest games ever - especially for challenge characters and achievements - but no crappy RNG or instadeath. Works great on Steam Deck (even 6W TDP).

A little tough to start but it gets addictive.

I bought this game in early access so many years ago. It was my first early access game as a new PC gamer. It was and still is an amazing experience that I'll never forget. I even bought it again on Nintendo Switch. My girlfriend at the time, who had never played and never would play the game, bought me the singing merchant plushy for my Birthday. It was the first time a girl had gifted me something so thoughtful and personally endearing.

When we broke up years later, she took our cats, our friends, my heart, and the singing merchant. I can still hear his voice and it makes me sad.

Never played a game before where your skill level depends on how hard you vibe with the music. Thankfully, the OST bumps harder than I assumed was legally allowed.

I really want to like the game, but it feels more frustrating than fun. the music is good, but moving to the beat feels more like a restriction. definitely not for everyone, and isn't something you can easily pick up and play.

One of the best rhythm games ever made.

The soundtrack is fantastic, and it has a host of alternative soundtracks by now that are amazing, too.

The core gameplay seems simplistic at first - after all, you just press left/right/up/down - but it derives a ton of depth from that simple premise. Add the randomized levels, the change in cadence during bossfights, the alternative characters and their rule changes, the multiplayer modes and the plethora of items, and that's a lot for how little money they ask for it.

(On a sidenote, I can heartily recommend the Nintendo-spinoff of this, Cadence of Hyrule, too!)

Possibly the best rhythm game of all time. Maybe also one of the best roguelikes of all time. What more is there to say? Why are you not already playing this game??? What is your excuse? That’s right—there is none.

really fun gameplay if you can get used to the mechanics, and a banger soundtrack as well

Well, apparently me, a professional musician who plays numerous instruments for decades and recorded dozens of albums, can't get the rhytm right to the beat. Ok, sure.

Great game, fun gameplay with a difficult but rewarding skill curve and very high skill ceiling.

Crypt of the NecroDancer

This game has a relatively steep learning curve, but in a way that feels so rewarding rather than painful. You can really feel yourself slowly improving and getting better, and it feels so good!
It is so cool to just be a different type of rhythm game! The enemies all move in different patterns, and when you finally get in sync with them, it feels so good!
Much recommended!!

i may have a problem but this game is quite amazing in my honest opinion.

Took a few minutes to get into the flow, but this is a fantastic game, I love the levelups and how it varies the gameplay (and how the songs sing to me even when I've stopped playing!)

Fun and easy game to learn, Challenging at times as well. Great sound track!
