drahkon Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Crypt of the NecroDancer, the award-winning and critically-acclaimed roguelike rhythm game, is coming to PS4 and PS Vita! Now you can move to the music and deliver beatdowns to the beat on the big screen with your PS4 or on the go with your PS Vita. Crypt of the NecroDancer’s unique gameplay and captivating soundtrack have been a hit on PC, and we are extremely excited to make our console debut exclusively on the home of innovative rhythm and music games, PlayStation! Help our hero Cadence battle her way through the NecroDancer’s dungeon in search of her missing father. On her way she faces methodical monsters all moving to the same beat she’s been cursed to follow. Randomly generated levels offer exciting new gameplay experiences every time! You can also play as other members of Cadence’s family, each with a distinctive playstyle. Crypt of the NecroDancer’s award-winning soundtrack is composed by Danny Baranowsky, but the PS4 and PS Vita versions will also feature an exclusive playable chiptune remix of the game’s soundtrack, created by Jake “Virt” Kaufman, the composer for Shovel Knight! Source - PlayStation.Blog.Europe It's already out on PC and supposed to be very good. Always wanted a PS4/PSVita version so this news pleases me. The game came to my attention via The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. Don't believe me? Watch this: I was watching some Isaac videos and came across The Beating of Isaac The song alone made me want to buy Crypt of the NecroDancer. I figured: "This has to come to Sony platforms at one point", so I waited. Great choice. : peace:
jayseven Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Yeah it looks pretty good - and such an odd concept to merge ddr with roguelike!
drahkon Posted January 12, 2016 Author Posted January 12, 2016 We are very excited to bring Crypt of the NecroDancer, the award-winning and critically-acclaimed roguelike rhythm game to the PlayStation family! Move to the music, delivering beatdowns to the beat on PS4 and PS Vita from 2nd February. PlayStation.Blog EU Finally Might be a PS+ title as it's released on the first Tuesday of February. Fingers crossed. Not a Hero might actually get the PS+ spot next month.
drahkon Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) It has a Platinum : peace: It also has a co-op trophy -.- Hope it's possible to do this solo with a second controller. Can't wait. With The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth still not released on PS4 (and probably never getting a Vita release...) I need this I also read somewhere (I forgot where) that this won't be a PS+ title. Edited January 18, 2016 by drahkon
drahkon Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) This is out tomorrow. Hoping for it to show up on midnight, but not holding my breath. Pretty sure I will be the only one here posting in this thread/playing the game Listening to the soundtrack on Spotify as I'm typing this. It's glorious Edit: Nevermind -.- [tweet]693105842573307904[/tweet] Edited February 1, 2016 by drahkon
drahkon Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 I know, I know...I'm annoying. :p But this game is the TITS. It was released yesterday evening and I bought it instantly. I'm currently at my girlfriend's. I've started the game 2 hours ago...she played the tutorial...she played some more...and I have played once...once One of the few "new" games that she likes. Can't wait to play co-op mode with her on the PS4 : peace: It's amazing. For those of you who don't know what this game is about: it's a rythm-based-roguelike-dungeon-crawler. You can only move to the beat. Well, to be more precise: you can't do anything off-beat, not even use an item. The arrow buttons are for movement, L is for placing bombs and you can pick up items/scrolls/magic which you can use with other buttons. There are secret areas, shops, traps, cool enemies, chests, and much more... We've managed to reach the first boss but failed miserably Oh, it's gonna be a long night
drahkon Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 Here's a run of Zone 1 I had today. Not very successful, but it might give you a bit more insight to what this game is all about
drahkon Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 I love the music/sound design. The switch between ice and fire. :awesome: And that missing beat in the boss fight...fucks me up every single time Still haven't beaten the final Zone...
drahkon Posted February 21, 2016 Author Posted February 21, 2016 Can't belive I'm still the only one here playing this. You guys disgust me :p It's genuinely one of the most creative games I've played in recent years. Such an awesome title. I'm always amazed at how my girlfriend keeps coming back to this. She has lots of problems with games I find appropriate for her "video-gaming-skill" and generally loses patience. Crypt of the Necrodancer, a game which continues to own me...she keeps getting better and better at it. And she keeps playing it even when she dies a lot She has beaten Zone 3 yesterday. My god, she was proud Now we're both at Zone 4. I managed to reach what I assume to be the final boss, but the game decided to change things up and I had to readjust...close battle, but I died This is video game crack. I love it. I can also imagine some kind of expansion coming for it. With Crypt of the Necrodancer you decend further into, well, the crypt. So why not use ascension for an expansion? Would be amazing. Tower of the Skydancer (yeah, I'm not the creative type) or something
Glen-i Posted April 4 Posted April 4 (edited) Ah, there is a thread for this! Rejoice, @drahkon, because I did play the crap out of it! I just never noticed the thread. The Switch version has finally got the DLC, Synchrony. As well as this, Hatsune Miku is added as a playable character on PC, with the PS4 and Switch version getting that at a later date. (XBox isn't getting it) Edited April 4 by Glen-i 1 1

Remind me then Man, the music is just too good. Still one of my all-time favourite video game songs. Guess I gotta create a Crypt of the Necrodancer Spotify playlist again! 1

I can't remember if that game has that option though? It might have gotten added in a patch after I finished it.

Glen-i Posted April 6 Posted April 6 5 hours ago, drahkon said: He also voiced King Boo in Super Mario Bros. Wonder Yes, I remember you pointing this out. My favourite level in a game that, admittedly doesn't have that many great levels. Anyway, I just realised that they added the option to use "No Beat Mode" with any character. Normally, I'd declare sacrilege and ignore it, but... I never did see the ending because the character that you have to finish the game with is so incredibly unfair, that I didn't find it very fun. Any way I can even the odds with her is very much welcome.
drahkon Posted April 7 Author Posted April 7 Trying to beat Act 4 with Cadence and I'm getting my ass beat by Spoiler the Necrodancer with Cadence and Dorian. My brain needs adjusting to the new situation. Well, not 100% new as I beat the game years ago, but it's still tough
Dcubed Posted April 7 Posted April 7 (edited) Have been spinning this one up again myself as well since the Synchrony DLC finally came to Switch. Man, I am so rusty at this game it hurts Have been looking to play through all 5 zones again from start to finish as a segmented run before reattempting an All Zones run. Managed to get through Zone 1 without too much trouble, but Zone 2 is kicking my arse! It's such a huge difficulty jump! I hate those damn Mushrooms and Shield Skeletons! They get me every time! Edited April 7 by Dcubed

Anyways, just beat Act 4 with Cadence Looking at my trophy list, I see that I've finished an All Zones run with Cadence, Melody and Bard back in 2016 (!!!). Simpler times back then 1
