But from the other parent comes the flair: Melody, and everything else in her world, can only move to the rhythm of a pounding chiptune soundtrack. IsletsĪll in a delightful 2D aesthetic most immediately reminiscent of Link to the Past-era Zelda if the enemy designs and top-down viewpoint don’t summon that to mind, the (usually empty) heart containers in the top right will. From one parent we get the basics: a sprightly adventurer, Melody, delves into four randomly generated dungeons, collecting items, battling monsters and digging for treasure. The result is Crypt of the Necrodancer, the unlikely lovechild of proto-RPG Rogue and rhythm game Dance Dance Revolution. Maybe first-person shooters and sports management sims? Or massively multiplayer fantasy games and match-three puzzlers? Whatever the case, a small Vancouver studio named Brace Yourself has picked up the, erm, “rhythm roguelike” gauntlet and ran with it. It’s hard to think of two more opposing video game styles. The former is about grinding through endless dungeons, hacking and slashing at enemy monsters, the latter is about hitting buttons in time to music. on the face of it, the roguelike and rhythm-action game genres are not obvious bedfellows. It’s fair and challenging, but not ludicrously difficult (except Aria mode, maybe). If you like roguelikes, this is an excellent one. Whether you aim to get the highest scores or complete runs in the fastest times, you can compete against a robust community of players in a range of permanent and daily challenges across all characters.
RACE TO THE TOP Reach great heights as you disco down through the depths of the crypt. The deeper you go, the more treacherous enemies you’ll face.
