Crypt of the NecroDancer é um roguelike baseado em ritmo desenvolvido e publicado pela Brace Yourself Games. Lançado em abril de 2015, combina exclusivamente rastreamento de masmorras com gameplay rítmico, exigindo que os jogadores se movam e lutem ao compasso de uma trilha sonora incrível de Danny Baranowsky. Cada inimigo possui padrões de movimento distintos vinculados à música, transformando cada andar em uma dança mortal. O jogo apresenta múltiplos personagens jogáveis com habilidades únicas, desafios diários e um recurso de música personalizada que gera níveis com base em qualquer arquivo MP3. O co-op local permite que dois jogadores toquem juntos. Com uma pontuação de 87 no Metacritic, gerou um sequência de crossover com The Legend of Zelda. O jogo é elogiado por sua fusão de gênero inovadora, gameplay viciante e uma das melhores trilhas sonoras de jogo já compostas.

Crypt of the NecroDancer is one of gaming's most inspired genre fusions. The concept — a roguelike dungeon crawler where every action must sync to the beat — sounds gimmicky on paper but proves to be a stroke of genius in practice. Danny Baranowsky's soundtrack is phenomenal, driving the gameplay with infectious energy that makes even repeated deaths feel enjoyable. Learning enemy movement patterns and timing your responses to the rhythm creates a uniquely satisfying flow state. The character variety adds tremendous replay value, each fundamentally altering the strategy required. The custom music feature that generates levels from personal MP3 files is a brilliant inclusion that extends longevity indefinitely. Local co-op is a delightful chaotic experience. The difficulty curve is steep and will frustrate players unfamiliar with either roguelikes or rhythm games, but the learning process itself is rewarding. A small, perfectly crafted game that proves innovation in game design is far from exhausted.
