Rift of the Necrodancer MSRP $19.99 Score Details “Rift of the Necrodancer captures the true essence of music by creatively visualizing rhythm.
” Pros Cons Table of Contents I’m not sure that any rhythm game has so accurately captured what it feels like to play an instrument as well as Rift of the Necrodancer. Sure, Rock Band may be a perfect music simulation thanks to its plastic instruments, but it doesn’t quite capture the full psychology of the craft. As glamorous as live music can look on a stage, actually getting to that point can be a battle.
Rift of the NecroDancer Reveal Trailer Let’s rock Despite being set in the same universe as 2015’s Crypt of the Necrodancer, developer Brace Yourself Games’ latest is a total departure from its breakthrough hit. The first Necrodancer game, and its excellent Zelda-themed spinoff, was a top-down adventure game with a twist: every movement had to take place on beat with the soundtrack. It was a wildly inventive idea, though it felt like a one-note gimmick at times too.
In that way, Rift of the Necrodancer is one of the best rhythm games I’ve ever played, and a devilishly tense action game too. It’s more akin to something like Thumper, making music feel like a battle of mental fortitude rather than pure physical skill. When I’m able to lock in during a tricky segment, one where I’m juggling different enemy types that weave together to form deceptively sensible patterns in the chaos, I feel like I’m nailing a complex solo.
Get creative Rift of the Necrodancer doesn’t just cook up a great central hook; it builds a healthy suite of content that takes advantage of it. That starts with a standard free play mode where players can compete for high scores on global leaderboards across a few difficulties and remixes. Those harder modes are no joke either; the Impossible difficulty lives up to its name.
