  • We had a chance to check out the recently announced Rift of the Necrodancer at PAX West, and it's a lot different than Crypt of the Necrodancer in a good way with gameplay portions like Rock Band, Rhythm Heaven and even Punch-Out!

      …Was about to say there’s Guitar Hero, Rhythm Heaven, and Punch Out mechanics, in that order. Nintendo only has Rhythm Heaven,” but then I realized they’ve got Punch Out, too. I think I might’ve been distracted by remembering the Punch Out section in Enter the Gungeon maybe.

  • @Wolfofshadows952
    @Wolfofshadows952 Před rokem +3

    The first part looks more like Guitar Hero than anything, though I could agree that the second part reminds me of Rhythm Heaven and the third part being Punch Out mixed with Rhythm Heaven.
    All in all, it’s nice to see the Crypt of the Necromancer franchise getting more love!

  • @CrossfacePanda
    @CrossfacePanda Před rokem +38

    My impression from this is that it’s just a straight up Rhythm Heaven clone (which isn’t a bad thing, mind you) where one of the mini games are Punch Out inspired, as opposed to a mix of Rhythm Heaven + Punch Out for the whole game (which is what the video title kinda implies).

    • @ShurikanBlade
      @ShurikanBlade Před rokem +6

      But only one of the 3 minigames shown was rhythm heaven esque. Wouldn't it be more like its just a rhythm game with punch out and rhythm heaven mini games.

    • @mrshmuga9
      @mrshmuga9 Před rokem +5

      @@ShurikanBlade I’d say drop “punch-out” from that list. The perspective is the same, but actions are timed to the beat of the song, and you can’t interrupt their attack, only attack after they fail. So it’s more like rhythm heaven with a rhythm (guitar hero) game.

    • @gaminggeckos4388
      @gaminggeckos4388 Před rokem +1

    • @gaminggeckos4388
      @gaminggeckos4388 Před rokem +2

      @@mrshmuga9 It’s still DEFINITELY more like Punch Out than Rhythm Heaven tho. The only reason attack interruption isn’t in here is because it’d be timing that’s tied to the beat, so the timing would be too easy to get. Though, it’s possible there IS attack interruption, and it’s just not shown. Saying mode #3 isn’t like punch out because it’s tied to the beat is like saying the original NecroDancer isn’t like roguelike games for the same reason.

    • @CrossfacePanda
      @CrossfacePanda Před rokem +4

      @Gaming Geckos You’re thinking too literally. Yes, the second one is the most obvious Rhythm Heaven copycat, but the whole game is a rhythm game based around a minigame format. And that is Rhythm Heaven’s whole concept.
      When I say the game is like Rhythm Heaven, I don’t mean that it’s an exact clone beat by beat, with the exact same presentation and tone. But conceptually all of it, including the other two minigames that are less obvious copycats, is like Rhythm Heaven, because there’s no other game out there like it.
