![]() ![]() As you’d hope, everything has been cranked up. Stick to the beat to beat it, or just beat it on out of there! And this boxed version of Crypt of the NecroDancer comes stuffed with the Amplified prequel DLC. As you twist and shake through ever-shifting dungeons, you’ve gotta respect one basic dance rule. Or bring in your own hottest-hits playlist and convert it into a baddie slay-list. Get lost in the deadly dance of the game’s 40-tracks-deep soundtrack. And stacks more body-moving monsters looking to body you. What kinda fiends? Try shaking-it skeletons. You’ll catch on in a flash to this graveyard smash against a rash of fiend-filled floors to bash. The Legend of Zelda DLC Pack 1 code for review purposes.‘Monster Mash’ is a classic tune that we reckon totes inspired Crypt of the NecroDancer. Note: Nintendo provided us with a Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the Necrodancer feat. ![]() With the various modes and characters contained within the game, save space is at a premium, and will likely become even more of an issue once the new story content drops in DLC pack 3. My only real complaint is that the amount of save slots desperately needs to be increased at this point. Also, the $5.99 price tag is pretty easy to swallow, or you could opt for the season pass to save a few bucks, which will give you all three packs once they are released for $14.99. Thankfully both of those characters are pretty great and provide new ways and mechanics to play through the story or dungeon mode. Personally, playing as Aria is not something I enjoy, but I?m sure there are people out there that would appreciate the challenge.Īs far as DLC goes, this initial offering for Cadence of Hyrule does feel a little light, mostly because there are only two characters that really brought anything new to the table for me. She also only has half a heart for her life bar, effectively making any attack deadly. Aria can only equip the dagger as her weapon throughout the game and has no main or secondary ability to speak of. The fifth character in Cadence of Hyrule DLC Pack 1 is Aria, which is effectively unlocking a very hard version of the game. He can also use rupees as projectiles, giving him a unique alternative to the bow and arrow. You can bring him back to life by obtaining a rupee, snapping him out of ghost form, and back to the physical plane. If he runs out of rupees or hearts, he?ll turn into a ghost, which in turn allows him access to some locations that would otherwise be difficult to reach in the earlier sections of the game. Throughout the game his rupee count will actually tick down, acting as a secondary life bar. As the shopkeeper of both the Cadence and Necrodancer universes, his abilities are almost entirely dependent on rupees. ![]() This gives her a considerable amount of range, which if you?ve played Cadence of Hyrule before, you?ll realize that distance attacks can be pretty useful throughout.įrederick also feels extremely unique but in a completely different way. Impa is an extremely useful character, with the ability to deflect projectiles with her spear as her primary skill, and then her secondary allows her to extend her spear attack an additional tile. However, Impa and Frederick do make up for that quite a bit. Of the new characters, Shadow Link and Shadow Zelda might be the more underwhelming additions, not adding much to their moveset to differentiate between their non-shadow counterparts. Granted Frederick is also the shop keeper in Cadence of Hyrule too, but he originally appears in Crypt of the Necrodancer as Freddie Merchantry. The first three are all characters culled from the Zelda universe, while the last two will be more familiar to fans of the original Crypt of the Necrodancer. The DLC characters consist of Impa, Shadow Link, Shadow Zelda, Frederick, and Aria. You can also play through the story mode of the game with the new DLC characters via the Single Character mode, which is slightly different from the actual main story mode in that you?ll only control a single character throughout the adventure instead of switching between Link, Zelda, and Cadence herself. While maybe not the heftiest amount of content when it comes to paid DLC, the first pack being offered does include five new characters and an additional ?All Characters? mode, allowing you to select between the new DLC characters and the existing characters when playing in the randomized dungeon mode of the game. ![]() Nintendo recently released the first of three planned DLC packs for last year?s Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the Necrodancer featuring The Legend of Zelda (a mouthful, yes) and I?ve spent a bit of time with the new characters contained in the pack and figured it was worth putting down a few words about this new additional content. ![]()
