At times you'll be lucky to find a nice weapon and other useful items early on, other times you'll just be spawning with enemies all around you. There is of course a fair bit of luck involved, as is pretty common with rogue-like games. You can even remove the less useful items from the dungeons via the janitor, so that there's more chances instead for chests to contain the items you find more useful. Some can spawn from the start, others require unlocking via collectible diamonds. You have healing items, weapons, armour, rings, spells, and even some unusual items. During your dungeon crawling you'll also come across a lot of items of varying degrees of helpfulness. For example, some enemies might be moving along a scripted path, others try to go for you specifically, some might stay still for 2 beats and then move on the 3rd one, others might move on every beat, and so on. The enemies each move to the beat in their own unique pattern, and you have to recognize it and adapt quickly. Every zone has its own theme and enemies. You have 4 zones to beat, each one contains 3 floors and a boss fight. I am not a big fan of rogue-likes in general, but this game is among few rare exceptions.

It is slated for release on PC and Nintendo Switch.I've been addicted to this game since I started playing it. Rift of the NecroDancer doesn’t yet have a release date aside from a 2023 release window. The game was first unveiled alongside a DLC that was released for the original Crypt of the NecroDancer, which among other things, brought 8-player multiplayer to the game, and three new playable characters. In a departure from its dungeon crawling roots, the upcoming title focuses more on lane-based combat and storytelling. The studio had announced its next project- Rift of the NecroDancer-back in April. Savin has also revealed that the studio has cut its staff by around 50%. As caught by GameSpot, Developers from the studio are taking to Twitter to reveal that they have been let go from the studio.Ĭrystal Savin has revealed that she was laid off from the studio after working there for only four months. The studio behind Crypt of the NecroDancer, Cadence of Hyrule, and the upcoming Rift of the NecroDancer-Brace Yourself Games-seems to be going through lay offs.
