Anime streaming powerhouse Crunchyroll has brought the cult-classic game Crypt of the NecroDancer to Android devices. Now rebranded as 'Crunchyroll: NecroDancer,' this beat-driven roguelike rhythm game offers an engaging mobile experience. Originally launched on PC by Brace Yourself Games in April 2015, it previously appeared on iOS in 2016 and Android in 2021, but this new Crunchyroll release brings a wealth of additional content to both iOS and Android platforms.
What’s Crypt of the NecroDancer About?
In Crypt of the NecroDancer, you step into the shoes of Cadence, a rhythm-challenged protagonist searching for her missing treasure-hunter father within a haunting, rhythm-infused crypt. As a roguelike game, each playthrough offers unique challenges and experiences.
With 15 playable characters, each boasting unique abilities and play styles, you'll navigate through procedurally generated dungeons. The game syncs your every move and attack to Danny Baranowsky's original and electrifying soundtrack. Staying in rhythm is crucial—miss a beat, and you're out. You'll encounter an array of groovy enemies, from dancing skeletons to hip-hop-loving dragons, all showcased in the game's official trailer:
This Isn’t Just A Basic Port
Crunchyroll and Brace Yourself Games have enhanced Crypt of the NecroDancer for mobile with additional features. The game now includes remixes, new content, and special Danganronpa character skins, catering to anime crossover enthusiasts. It also supports cross-platform multiplayer and modding capabilities.
Fans of Hatsune Miku should stay tuned; a DLC featuring the beloved virtual pop star along with the Synchrony expansion is slated for release later this year. If you're a Crunchyroll subscriber, you can dive into this rhythm roguelike adventure immediately. It's available on the Google Play Store.
