  Crypt of the Necrodancer is a unique rhythm-based action roguelike where we play through randomly generated dungeons full of loot, enemies, and bosses.

  CA roguelike at heart with a rhythm-game soul, Crypt Of The NecroDancer is a sublime experience that’s a must-play for fans of the genre(s). Its upbeat, uptempo take on dungeon crawling is infectious, and there’s enough content here to last even the savviest of spelunkers for many, many dance-fuelled dives into the depths — if you’ve never tangoed with the COTN, this fully-featured Switch edition is the perfect way to jump in.

  This oddball mix of roguelike and rhythm game is a ton of fun. It’s definitely earned all the praise, and it feels right at home on a touch screen.

  Crypt of the Necrodancer is a game that easily lives up to expectations. Combining rhythm and RPG elements in a way I didn't know could work, the game is addicting and will have you continuously coming back for more.

  8.0

  Crypt of the Necrodancer is a brilliant, fresh spin on the roguelike genre. It's uncompromisingly tough, but its pattern-learning, beat-matching gameplay is also highly addictive and very rewarding to play.

  8.7

  Crypt of the Necrodancer strikes the balance between charm, readability and difficulty that is so important for a game of this type, and it does so off the back of a set of brilliantly-executed new ideas. It's not just a good rhythm-action game and a good roguelike: saying so suggests that the two might be divisible in some way. In this case, they're not.

  9.0

  Crypt of the NecroDancer is a genius mash-up of genres that works so well in execution, that it's hard to stop playing, even if Zone 1 kicked your ass 50 times in a row. It helps that the soundtrack is just so damn good. ...Bonus points if you enjoy both like myself. If anything, it's such a unique mash up that I'd recommend checking it out even if you're mildly curious. You won't be disappointed.

  9.5

  Crypt of the NecroDancer accomplishes what few games even attempt to do. It merges together two completely different genres: rhythm and roguelike. The frustrations of both come as part of the package, but some intelligent design decisions help to alleviate the issue. For those looking for the next gaming obsession after the likes of Spelunky, Binding of Isaac, or Rogue Legacy, look no further than Crypt of the NecroDancer.
