Crypt of the NecroDancer is a game that uses music as its prime gameplay aspect. This is a first-of-its-kind rhythm-based RPG. Players press buttons in sync with the beats and tunes of the game. The more in sync they are, the better damage they do to their enemies.
The movement works in a similar way. This game now adds Hyrule as a location and tracks from Zelda titles to its tracklist. The game is as addicting as the previous one and as fun.
