    Crypt of the NecroDancer has risen once again to bring a hefty amount of rhythm action goodness to Switch. If this is your jam, then its definitely worth picking up again for portable and local co-op play. If you haven't played before and aren't sure if you'll dig it then the Switch version is a content-rich way to give it a whirl and find out.

It has a very, very small rhythm game element on walking with a beat (a very stoic and boring beat at that) but the rest of the game is a roguelike. That doesn't necessarily mean the game is bad. It has its charming points and kept me entertained for a few hours before I got bored and moved back to the real rhythm game Voez. If you were hoping for a rhythm game, you really need to look elsewhere. If you enjoy roguelikes, then this might be exactly what you are looking for.… Full Review »

    This game is like math. If you’re inherently good at it, you’ll like it, but if you suck at it, you’ll hate it with a passion.

    The game    This game is like math. If you’re inherently good at it, you’ll like it, but if you suck at it, you’ll hate it with a passion.

    The game does *nothing* to teach you how to fight the different types of enemies. You have to figure it out on your own. Even if that means constantly dying. In my book, this is a mortal sin for a game. I play games to have a good time but this game feels like work.

    Great games make sure that *all* players can enjoy it. This game doesn’t care about the player at all. If you play badly, it will just show you the same dull Restart option until you realize that you should probably be playing a game that actually takes the player’s experience into account.    … Full Review »

The controls are incredibly responsive and it looks just as beautiful as the other versions of the game. The soundtrack is superb as always and is still the best part of the game. The addition of the new character is a rather nice addition too. I would highly recommend this if you have never played it, because once you have, you'll be humming along to the music for months to come.
