Crypt of the NecroDancer

Title-appropriate thread necro!

The music for this game came up in the Enter the Game Music Thunderdome thread (Disco Descent / 1-1), and quickly became a front-runner in my mind. I pulled my vita out of mothballs and bought this because it seemed like a perfect game to play on my commute.

It’s really good!

Even though I’d heard a lot of good things about it, I was a little bit worried that it would be a stronger concept than game per se, but fortunately, the game delivers as well. There’s a lot of clever design here.

So far I’m able to beat Zone 1 pretty easily, but I find there’s a pretty large difficulty spike going into Zone 2. I’ve considered working through the zone in Bard Mode first, but I don’t like the muted bard-mode soundtrack as much as the standard one, so it’s hard to get motivated to do that.
