Crunchyroll Drops Roguelike Rhythm Game Crypt Of The NecroDancer On Android

Crunchyroll, the renowned anime streaming platform, has now brought the cult-classic game Crypt of the NecroDancer to Android devices. This unique beat-driven adventure, rebranded as 'Crunchyroll: NecroDancer' on mobile, offers a thrilling roguelike rhythm experience. Originally developed by Brace Yourself Games and first released on PC in April 2015, the game had a brief stint on iOS in 2016 and Android in 2021. Now, thanks to Crunchyroll, it's back on both iOS and Android with an abundance of new content.

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 spooky, rhythm-infused crypt. As a roguelike game, each playthrough offers a unique experience. With 15 playable characters, each boasting distinct play styles and challenges, you'll navigate through procedurally generated dungeons. The game's heartbeat is Danny Baranowsky’s original soundtrack, which you must sync with to move, attack, and dodge enemies. From dancing skeletons to hip-hop-loving dragons, the enemies are as rhythmic as they are dangerous. Check out the official trailer below to see them in action!

This Isn’t Just A Basic Port

Crunchyroll and Brace Yourself Games have enhanced the mobile version of Crypt of the NecroDancer with exciting additions. Players can enjoy remixes, new content, and even Danganronpa character skins, catering to anime crossover enthusiasts. The game also supports cross-platform multiplayer and modding, adding layers of replayability. Fans of Hatsune Miku should stay tuned, as DLC featuring the virtual pop star and the Synchrony expansion are slated for release later this year. If you're a Crunchyroll subscriber, you can dive into this rhythm roguelike immediately. It's available now on the Google Play Store.
