When the character's health meter empties, the game is over. The character can also be harmed by moving into a monster's attack. Failure to match the beat does not directly harm the character in most situations, but does reset the scoring multiplier and may cause the character to be harmed by a nearby monster if he/she is in their attack path. As with many rhythm games, each successful beat match boosts a coin scoring multiplier. Unlike traditional roguelikes, the player can only have their character move or attack if they perform the action on the beat of the music.

Players can manipulate their character by using either a dance pad, a mouse and keyboard, or a gamepad. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux in April 2015, being co-published by Klei Entertainment, for the PlayStation 4 and Vita in February 2016, and for iOS, as Crypt of the NecroDancer Pocket Edition, in June 2016.Ĭrypt of the NecroDancer is a top-down 2D dungeon crawler in which the player controls one of a selection of characters to explore several levels of an underground dungeon that are procedurally generated, similar to roguelike games. The mixed-genre game includes the ability to import custom music, and the option to use a dance pad instead of traditional controllers or the keyboard. The player's actions are most effective when moving the character set to the beat of the current song and are impaired when they miss a beat, so it is necessary to learn the rhythmic patterns that the various creatures follow. The game takes fundamental elements of a roguelike dungeon exploration game, and adds a beat-matching rhythm game set to an original soundtrack written by Danny Baranowsky.
