Crypt of the NecroDancer is a 2015 roguelike rhythm game created by Brace Yourself Games. The game takes fundamental elements of a roguelike dungeon exploration game and adds a beat-matching rhythm game set to an original soundtrack written by Danny Baranowsky. The player's actions are most effective when moving the character set to the beat of the current song and are impaired when they miss a beat, so it is necessary to learn the rhythmic patterns that the various creatures follow. The mixed-genre game includes the ability to import custom music, and the option to use a dance pad instead of traditional controllers or the keyboard. The game was released for Linux, OS X, and Windows in April 2015, being co-published by Klei Entertainment, for the PlayStation 4 and Vita in February 2016, for the Xbox One in February 2017, and for Nintendo Switch in February 2018. Crypt of the NecroDancer Pocket Edition, developed for iOS, was released in June 2016.

game is really good it helps tickle my ADHD boredom and right now if i get bored i just open this up for a quick run to try new characters and stuff
Crypt of the NecroDancer is rough at first, not gonna lie. Rhythm based combat sounds fun on paper but the first hour or two you're just dying in a panic, missing beats, not understanding why you got hit Then something clicks. Once you stop thinking and start feeling the beat the whole game changes. You're moving with the music, not fighting it, and that fusion feeling when everything lines up is genuinely something else Tons of levels, tons of bosses, difficulty options for pretty much every taste so you can push yourself as much as you want. The concept alone is worth the price of entry I recommend this one all the time
The shop keeper turns me on, his voice is too good!!
