Why it even exist?
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version

This game is about NOTHING, really. Thanks for another Clone Hero, but with limited songs.

After so good Cadence of Hyrule we got this... meh, just meh, best rhythm-based roguelike is dead, kinda....

giopep's review of Rift of the NecroDancer
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version

I never played Crypt of the Necrodancer because roguethinghies are not for me, but this was clearly made for me and I had so much fun. It’s a smart retooling of the classical rhythm game mechanics that adds a lot of variety in toying with “notes” placement. Also, you have the Punch Out style bosses and the Ulala style minigames, which are kinda great. So, it’s a good game, nicely challenging, also loved by my daughter, who watched me playing it. And you can play songs added by users. It’s great!

I am going to need a lot of practice for that last part of Spookhouse Pop on hard. That one is just tough with those yellow slimes.

The demo's finally out. It's hard, unforgiving and a bop.

Try it if you like rhythm games.
