The team at Brace Yourself Games recently announced a new game called Rift of the NecroDancer. This is a spin-off for their popular game Crypt of the NecroDancer and is tagged on Steam as a Rhythm game, a 2D Fighter, and an Action RPG. This should definitely be interesting. From the screenshot we see, it looks more like a mobile game, but we’ll have to see what the gameplay is really like before we make a call on that. I do want to note that Brace Yourself Games is working with Tic Toc Games to develop the title.
The NecroDancer’s back in a brand new rhythm game spinoff! Help Cadence navigate the modern world while repairing the rifts that have torn her life apart. Do rhythmic battle via rift mode, minigames, and boss battles! All to the beat of a brand new soundtrack from Danny Baranowsky & friends.
First, I love the art for Rift of the NecroDancer so I’ll probably buy it. Everything looks so freaking clean it’s gorgeous! We currently know of three different game modes for the game as follows:
-
Rift Mode — A rhythmic battle against streams of monsters pouring out of the Rift!
-
Mini Game Mode — Help Cadence overcome the challenges of the modern world via rhythmic mini games!
-
Boss Battles Mode — Defeat powerful bosses using a one-two punch, to the rhythm of the beat!
Combine those with a new soundtrack from Danny Baranowsky and collaborators, mod support, online leaderboards, and more, and I think you’ve got a recipe for success. Sadly, we don’t have a release window or date, but you can head on over to Steam now to wishlist it.
