Crypt Of The NecroDancer

Crypt Of The NecroDancer is being developed and published by Brace Yourseslf Games.  It is due out in a couple of days time on the 10th of February for the Xbox One.  It has already been released for the PC, It came out in April 2015 and it was released in February of last year for the PS4.  You can also pick it up on IOS and PlayStation Vita.

In game, the player controls a character called Cadence, you are the daughter of a famous treasure hunter that has suddenly disappeared. While searching for your father you manage to fall into a crypt controlled by the NecroDancer.  The NecroDancer takes your heart and forces you to battle his minions in order for you to reclaim it.

Crypt Of The NecroDancer is a top down 2D rhythm based action adventure game.  In order to navigate the levels effectively, you must move and fight to the sound of the music.  You must also try and learn the movements of the monsters that dwell in the crypt, doing so will make progress through the dungeons that bit simpler.  Missing a beat may not kill you in game but it might leave you vulnerable to attack or slow you down.  Hitting all the beats will see your multiplier go up and up and up.

As you explore the dungeon will collect new weapons, armour and treasure.  You can purchase more goodies from the shops dotted around the dungeon and there are also diamonds to be discovered, which can be used back in the games main lobby to buy permanent enhancements for your character.

The crypt is divided into 4 area's, each area is split into 4 levels with the last level in each area being a boss battle.  With this being a rhythm based game, the further and further you get into the crypt the higher and higher the tempo of the music will become, making the experience more and more intense as you progress through.

Crypt Of The NecroDancer was very well received when it came out on PC and the PS4.  It has been highly praised for both its gameplay and its musical score.  In fact, over the last few years since it launched on PC, Crypt Of The NecroDancer has received a few awards for its music and audio. It has also achieved consistent high review marks from all corners of the gaming press since launch.

Crypt Of The NecroDancer is out on the 10th of the month on Xbox, we are the last to the party yet again with another indie title but hopefully we might be treated to the best version available.
