One of the most significant features of the Nintendo Switch version of Crypt of the NecroDancer is its local co-op mode. Many of these options are unlockable through dungeon exploration so there’s plenty of reason to keep doing the hustle. Then Cadence is dumped into a lobby where she can use coins and diamonds she collects on her dungeon-crawling expeditions to buy helpful items and buffs from various shopkeepers, select characters with alternate modes of play, and choose what zones she wants to explore. It isn’t overly complicated and takes up the entirety of the pretty short intro cut-scene and tutorial to put across. That’s the basic motivation for Crypt of the NecroDancer‘s rhythm action. Her heart is taken as a forfeit, and she must boogie to its beat through the Stygian ballrooms to reclaim her ticker. At least you’ll be well served if you’re into chiptune, metal or, erm, more chiptune.Īdventurer Cadence has been struck down on entering the titular deathly domicile of said NecroDancer. Unfortunately, the Switch version of Crypt of the NecroDancer also suffers from the same limitation as the rest of its non-PC cover versions: a finite number of soundtracks. The combination of rhythm-based action and procedurally generated dungeon-crawling is still as intrinsically fun as it is on other platforms.

Three years after Crypt of the NecroDancer hand-jived onto PC and Mac and two since it shimmied in the direction of PS4 and Vita, Brace Yourself Games has plucked up the courage to ask the Switch for a dance.

Yet that’s all the talent you’ll need to rock along to Crypt of the NecroDancer: Nintendo Switch Edition. The limits of my bardic skills extend to strumming the opening bassline of The Human League’s The Lebanon on a rubber band stretched around a margarine tub.

Do you fancy yourself a musician? I don’t.

You there! Yes, you blowing on those Donkey Konga bongos.
