pabosher Posted March 8, 2017 Could you tell me why Crypt of the Necrodancer is good/notable? I heard people talking about it and want to know if I should grab it - thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard people talking about it and want to know if I should grab it - thanks! It's a turn-based roguelike where the enemy only moves where you do, but you get bonuses for moving on the beats of the level music and penalties for missing. Enemies all move on a musical pattern you need to learn to deal with them. Danny Baranowsky did the music for the game (Super Meatboy, Binding of Isaac), and there are gameplay mechanics based on the type of music in every level. it's fucking awesome and has the best NPC in video games. It's the only video game soundtrack I've ever purchased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperBiasedMan Posted March 8, 2017 Crypt of the Necrodancer is a very good merging of Rogue Likes and rhythm games that solves my problems with both. Having to match the beat means you're working in constant flow, always moving and meant to think on your feet. Rogue-likes can get very slow and tactical, and rhythm games can become all about memorising and perfecting rote levels. CotN is chaotic, and you need to adapt as you go, all the while moving with every beat as you try to figure out what to do next because a dragon just burst through the wall while you were trying to clear the skeletons in the current room. Not to mention the art and music are so chef kiss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted March 8, 2017 Yeah, I'm terrible at Necrodancer and have only ever reached the third dungeon like once, but it is very, very good, and I strongly recommend picking it up if it at all looks up your alley. It's one of the smartest and most unique roguelikes there is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaguarWong Posted March 23, 2017 Great looking sale starting on the e-shop this week: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/03/nintendo_download_23rd_march_europe Affordable Space Adventures for a fiver is a total steal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rohlfinator Posted March 23, 2017 PSN is doing a sale on various Playstation-exclusive stuff: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/only-on-playstation-sale/cid=STORE-MSF77008-FRANCHSALEGAMEG I'm kind of a latecomer to the PS4, so this was a good opportunity to snag Journey and Resogun.

That sale this week in eShop is incredibly good. So many good games, of which I already have most, but there are some things I definitely will be picking up like Corpse Story.

Tanukitsune Posted March 24, 2017 The Sony PSN sale is ridiculous, LocoRoco, Ratchet & Clank, Vib-Ribbon... Does anybody play the Syphon Filter games? You can have most of the series super cheap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted May 11, 2017 Imma pimp this again in this thread, because I like it so much. Renowned Explorers is back on sale, because a new expansion is out for it. Also, @Gormongous if you were looking for any excuse to dip back in, they're doing a special challenge for it, trying to get the community as a whole to collect a certain number of treasures in 80 hours. I liked the weekly challenges when I was playing regularly, just because they encouraged playing team I otherwise not might use. It's a shame they never found a way to fully integrate and track the challenges into the game proper and it was just a forum thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been following the news for the DLC and, while I'm concerned that it might make a wonderfully simple but involved game a bit too overcomplicated, I'm happy for more content. Renowned Explorers is a delight and I still boot it up from time to time to have a RPG/strategy-lite adventure that lasts almost exactly an hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laco Posted May 15, 2017 I picked up Chime Sharp too, thanks for the tip. I remembered the original as a relaxing zone-out sort of game, something like Lumines, but wow is this new version tough. I'm struggling to make it to 75% coverage before time runs out on even the easiest levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clyde Posted May 15, 2017 I am also finding it challenging. My technique for Standard is to play the same song 3-4 times before moving on to another. I find that it takes time for me to internalize the set of pentominoes. I haven't tried the other modes yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolzig Posted May 27, 2017 Etrian Odyssey IV is anyway 9.99€ already in the eShop, I doubt it will get lower in any sale than that 7,19€ with the My Nintendo discount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
