#CryptOfTheNecroDancer #DiscoDescent #Reaction
To quote a comment I often see regarding this game's soundtrack: When the 'G' falls off the graveyard sign. The entire soundtrack is full of total bops.
HELL YEAH.
This is literally the first level; you automatically get smacked with this after finishing the (30 second) tutorial.
First you upload Hades, that catches my eye, now NecroDancer content?! Amazing!
Edit: If you REALLY want to rock out, put those shades back on... Run up "Crypteque". That song's inspired by Uprising, by Muse, if it gives you any hint as to how hard that song goes ;)
Shantae also has some banger tracks! ^^
My favorite part of NecroDancer is singing along with the shopkeeper. Great OST, great game.
More fun to get killed by the shopkeeper.
How did it take this long for Necrodancer!?
Just FYI these songs don't loop, the length of the song is the amount of time you have to finish the level.
Yep. Once the song ends, so does the level.
@@penguinninja4417 Though the trap door you go.
You're pretty much right on the money about this being a rhythm game -- however, it's a bit of an unique concept in that they mixed up rhythm elements with roguelike gameplay: basically, you have to dig around the map (hence the shovel), kill enemies and traverse through the stage all to the beat of the current song before it ends (that's also why the songs don't loop).
The entire soundtrack is incredibly good and I'm glad you already have more songs from it in the request list, but another really cool thing about this is that the entire soundtrack has 5+ different playable versions. They range from metal remixes, synthwave remixes, chiptune remixes, to EDM remixes and more, and they're genuinely all great. I'm not sure if any of those have been requested but I do hope you get to check these out as well at some point.
And also since you've asked, Danny Baranowsky has been composing for indie games for a while! You may know him from Super Meat Boy or the original Binding of Isaac, which aside from this game are probably his best known works.
It's a roguelike dungeon crawling rhythm game. Very interesting game, and depending on the character you play, the rules of the game change.
Sunglasses, +1 damage
This song plays for the first floor of the first world, and the fact that it starts off with this BANGER sets up your expectations for the game.
Danny is one of the BEST in the 'biz, it's actually stunning he's not been featured on the channel yet! Super Meat Boy, Binding of Isaac, Necrodancer, definitely up there as one of the premier indie game composers
Crypt goes so hard they made an official Nintendo Zelda game with it.
Crypt of the Necrodancer is one of my all time favorite games, paired with one of my all time favorite soundtracks. Glad to see you finally checking it out! I’m especially a fan of Nicolas Daoust, the voice of the real voice shopkeeper ingame, who started out doing vocal covers of the shopkeeper’s singing parts on UA-cam, before later being brought on to do it officially for the game’s DLC (The shopkeeper sings along to every level theme in the game, btw). As for my favorite track from the game, it may be coming up as a request in the not-so-near future…
I dunno if anyone else has mentioned this yet, but the songs from this game don't typically loop, as the tracks also serve as soft time limits for each level. When the music stops, you get dropped through a trap door and have to fight the boss of the floor in a confined space, which is usually more difficult than encountering them normally.
Someone else probably mentioned this already, but not only is Danny's soundtrack for the game very good, its also accompanied by like 5 other soundtracks. As a last note, there's a shopkeeper in the game that wails along with the music of every stage if you're interested in hearing that.
A display of engagement to show the algorithm that we like this.
This is really good. I've not played this game, but I've played the Zelda spin off that uses the same kind of rhythm gameplay, loved the music in that too.
I've played both and... this one's far harder. Not saying it's unbeatable, but by the time it takes you to get through the entire Zelda spinoff, you'll still be struggling early game in this one.
There's a sequel that's a crossover with Zelda, good ost on that too
Danny probably is my favourite indie game composer.
And on top of that there's so many other fantastic indiegame composers associated with this game (such as Chipzel (Super Hexagon, Dicey Dungeons) and Jake Kaufman (Shantae, Shovelknight, Ducktales Remastered).
Necrodancer is a videogame, akin to old rogue.. but roguelike-ish in similar ways, yet I would call it it more reogue than like... nevertheless you have to move within the beat, else you don't move.. sometimes you want to fail on purpose, but generally you want to move within the beat.
This game has a number of great tracks - but Conga Konga Kappa is one of my fave tracks in any game period. So damn good. Def worth checking out other big hits from this OST.
In context, it work even better haha
I think the best part is that there is a version of the soundtrack done by Family Julez which is just metal.
Woo, got the shades. Hell yeah.
Yeah, this game is great and the music is phenomenal. I look forward to more of it being requested.
Check out Cadence of Hyrule. Same game play but a zelda crossover
Oh my god, you're checking out Crypt of the Necrodancer?
this is gona be good, DDR meets DnD :D
ps this game I love the music almost as much as I suck at playing it :P
Omg finally Crypt of the Necrodancer, I'm surprised it took this long. One of my favorite game soundtracks of all time. Pick any song from it and you can't go wrong.
@@NuiYabuko Wish I made a few requests for games like Gurumin and Half-Minute Hero: The Second Coming when this channel was in the early months. Now it's pretty much impossible to get songs to pop up. Either pay up a large amount or get extremely lucky in the draw every once in a while. I don't see anyone requesting songs for those games either. But either way, it would probably take years. That's too long term of an investment for me.
Great game with a great soundtrack. Really hard though. There's also a Zelda-spinoff sequel and that one's easier. Still not a walk in the park, but it's a really good game. I'm generally not a fan of rogue-like games, but there's a few I like and this is one of them.
Danny Baranowsky also made the soundtrack for Super Meat Boy, which is what really put him on the map (If I'm not mistaken, anyway) He's definitely one of my favorite VGM composers
Necrodancer's great! They have multiple versions of the soundtrack by different artists, and variants of songs since the game's shopkeeper sings along whenever you're nearby.
Every single track from this game is a banger.
Wow damn. Lets move.
Ah, Crypt of the Necrodancer! xD
I like stage 1-2 more (the follow up to this level), they all are absolute bangers. If and when you meet the shopkeepers, you can hear him sing along with the ost aswell.
The game is a dungeon crawler based on music, as you pretty much realized. It's a fun game, too bad I'm awful at that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nice video Jesse, take care!
While listening to this I kept on expecting to hear the shopkeeper's singing. (When you get near the shopkeeper in the game he starts singing whichever song is playing, drowning out the normal version as you get closer) Felt so weird when it never happened.
this game and zelda actually had a crossover game a few years back and i recommend listening to the gerudo desert theme from cadance of hyrule weather on channel or your own time
I'm absolutely addicted to this entire OST. And the alternative ones too. Hahaha. Also all the bosses in this game may or may not be called music puns.
Oh, yeah. You would love playing Crypt of the Necrodancer. It's a rhythm-based adventure game.
From what I heard and saw, all movement and combat is done to the rhythm of the tracks.
I respect the requester's self-restraint in not immediately hitting you with 3-2 Cold, gotta work up to it!
This game has a really awesome soundtrack with tons of banger, my favorite songs are Mausoleum Mash (1-3) and A Cold Sweat\ A Hot Mess (3-3).
The game also uses the soundtrack in cool ways, for example the shopkeepers sing to the music. Another cool feature is that world 3 is divided between hot and cold zones, and while both zones have the same melody, the music changes between electric and metal depending on which zone you are in.
Don't know if you take requests from UA-cam comments but "mad jack" boss theme from Donkey Kong 64 is really good, if you enjoyed the banjo kazooie final battle theme then you'll love mad jack theme
I adore this game with all my heart. They also did a crossover game with The Legend of Zelda called Cadence of Hyrule with banger music as well.
An amazing game with a plethora of catchy themes. Baranowsky(?) is an incredible mixer.
I recognize that initial background music, that was from Ape Escape.
sadly not the shopkeeper version which is the superior one imho. neat reaction tho
you should have listened to the shopkeeper version dude!
Haha I'm bad at this game and never finished it but it was fun. It wouldn't have been a game I'd have even paid much attention to normally but "Necrodancer" How I could I not? And it is fun. Rhythm roguelike... why not! Hopefully a shopkeeper version of a song will come along just for the reaction :D
One of the catchiest tracks from all OST.
DannyB, at long last... Crypt, Binding of Isaac, and Super Meat Boy. And also arranging the Cave Story+ OST.
Crypt has one of the best OSTs of all time, and there's like 6 different OFFICIAL versions.
Even a full metal version, it's nuts.
yoooo crypt of the necrodancer is one of my fav games of all time, the rest of the soundtrack is nothing but straight bangers
NecroDancer is one of my favorite games; as other commenters have noted it's a mashup of rhythm and roguelike dungeon crawling, and the immaculateness you picked up on in the track is (imo) present in the game's art & gameplay as well!
The slight tone shift near the end of this track is a signal to the player that their time on the level is almost up, and is reflected in part of the UI during gameplay.
Additional tidbit: the game has 4 zones you progress through (5 with the first dlc), each containing 3 levels. Each level within a zone has its own track (thus the 1-1 in this track's title - zone 1, level 1), and each zone's tracks are written in a different genre. On top of that, to complete each zone the player has to beat a boss chosen randomly among 4 possibilities, and (of course) each of these bosses has their own distinct track.
I'm so glad you've discovered this game. You should DEFINITELY watch a clip of the game to see what it's like. Without giving too much, it's a 2D adventure rogue-like rhythm game, where you do everything to the beat (yep, that beat). Some stuff you should know:
1. Danny Baranowsky was also the composer of the Binding of Issac.
2. ALL of the music in the game is integral to it's gameplay, since everything you do has to be to the beat. As such, aside from Bosses tracks, all songs are written and designed NOT to loop. You can listen to the song of a level to the very end, but when you do you'll "fall" to the next level. Not lose, just fall, so you can't explore that level any further.
3. The girl you play as is called Cadence. Guess what happens at the end of the song you just heard.
4 and final: I really hope you try and play the Crypt of the NecroDancer. Unlike most of the games you probably cover, this game isn't time consuming, in the sense you can play it once just to see what the fuss is about and check some of the levels and music. The game is hard because of the rogue-like elements and having rhythm-based gameplay, but it's very old school in the sense you can play the very first few levels, suck at it, but love it anyway and be glad you played them. It will only be time-consuming if you end up linking it and try to beat it, and even then not really "time-consuming" as, let's say, Metal Gear Rising, for example (a short game by today's standards).
Hoping to see more songs!
This game has the best music of all games in the world, but some of the tracks are even better when experienced in game, I'm not giving spoilers! This game is a rhythm based rougelike, available on steam! Be sure to check it out if you love the tracks! And the remixes!
The whole soundtrack is so good, even all the remixes for god's sake. I'm so bad at this game but this didn't prevent me from buying everything
The simplest way to describe the gameplay of this game is that it's a turn-based dungeon crawler (hence the shovel, for digging through walls) where every "turn" is one beat of the music. Each enemy has a specific movement/attack pattern, which means you need to move in a specific way to attack them while avoiding their attacks, which ends up feeling a bit like dancing. This is also why the track, as you probably noticed, has the percussion generally landing hard on every single downbeat, because the player *needs* to feel the beat in order to play effectively.
I get the feeling you'd like coral riff or Igneous Rock
Heck yeah I've been waiting for this game to end up in your channel! Banger alert! Take shelter and your dancepad!
the look you gave those glasses was priceless.
Holy damn though, I've not played this but I bought it recently. I could not help but bounce along to the tune.
My other fave from this is A Cold Sweat!
This game has banger after banger, no track misses.
This is actually a game I've played! It's pretty fun and has the option to play your own music. It gets difficult though, anyways I'm very familiar with this song and I've heard it many times from starting over since this is the first level theme lol.
What comes to mind when this song plays is a dance floor in a dungeon which is the setting of the level. I love the subtle chiptune sound effects placed throughout the song, just a great way to flavor a song. This has a bit of a uncertain feel while being very motivated which fits the main characters story. It's a very catchy song at points, the song emphasizes the beat for gameplay reasons so that's pretty cool. I like how it sounds a bit spooky with some of the synths which fits the dungeon and the enemies. I very much like this song, a certified bop 100%.
I can backup your comment on word of mouth lol, I heard about the game but didn't know much about it until a friend got me to get it for the music.
Can't wait to see you do more of this game!! The whole soundtrack is top tier
This is one of favorite soundtracks. I listen to it all the time
I recommend "Wicked Flight" from Bravely Default.
Another of my favourite game/soundtrack package. Each song is the length of the stage (minus boss battles which loops), and you get booted to the next stage if you don't find the way there yourself before it ends. The base game also has multiple characters with their own remix of every stage/song by various other artists, and are worth checking out for each request if you get more! e.g. same stage, but remix ua-cam.com/video/frVd9AyqNzk/v-deo.html (Side note, the devs got a Zelda collab game on the Switch, which shows how successful it was)
Gotta react to its Crypteque ost. Making a cover of that thing would be fun.
Would love to watch you react to this with the Shopkeeper singing.
I assume you're gonna get a lot of requests for this game, such a good soundtrack. Also, there are no loops, each level lasts as long as the music is playing. Each is a full track instead of a looped song
My favorite songs come from Level 3, which is half ice and half fire. So, on the one side is EDM, and the other is Metal depending on what side of the map you're on. (Note: I know EDM isn't the right term, but I don't know enough about the genre to describe what specific sub-genres there are. I'm just a smol girl.)
