It’s out on Steam Early Access
Are you playingCrypt of the NecroDancer? You should be playingCrypt of the NecroDancer.
It’s a rhythm-based roguelike in which you hop around dungeons to the beat of music, a novel mechanic that ends up being enjoyable — not burdensome, as it might appear in trailers — and keeps the game feeling action-oriented despite theRogueinfluences.
And the soundtrack? Quite possibly my favorite music from Danny Baranowsky to date (though you can playNecroDancerto your own music too — Daft Punk’s “Face to Face” works well).
I’ll openly admit that I wasn’t totally sold on the game’s concept before playing, but the execution is there. Whether you want to get in now whileCrypt of the NecroDanceris still inSteam Early Access($14.99; Windows/Mac/Linux) is up to you. Personally, I tend to avoid unfinished games wherever possible, but I feel this is far enough along in development to justify playing now.
