Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda Bundle - Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite [Digital]

Great Game with rhythm and music . Agood sin off game of a link to the past.

Great spinoff of Crypt of the Necrodancer with a Zelda twist. Not only is the gameplay fantastic, but the remixes of classic Zelda tunes are great. If you liked Crypt of the Necrodancer, definitely give it a go; same if you liked Zelda. For those who are unaware, this game is a rhythm game wherein you move around a screen in time with the music. By doing this you position yourself around enemies and attack them as well as get new equipment and explore areas. The gameplay is extremely fun and engaging and I enjoyed it immensely. That being said, this game is a rogue-lite, meaning no checkpoints and you start from the beginning if you die. It's also fairly challenging unlike most Zeldas (except Breath of the Wild) so don't expect a breeze through. The game is no pushover and might turn off some people looking for a more casual rhythm or Zelda game. Strong recommendation.

I've never played this type of game before and since i saw on the title it said zelda, I gave it a try. Challenging, I like it

Solid game with a very interesting mechanic to it. Very unique and satisfying to play. Lots of fun to play local couch co-op with as well. The music is great. Kind of wish there was more of a sense of purpose in the game though. They sort of just let you free once the tutorial level is done and then you're kind of on your own to figure out the world and the boss stages and finding everything. Theres not a super deep story element to this game so its mostly just riding on the gameplay mechanic of it to carry. All in all, great game if you can get it on sale and a fun addition to the Switch collection for sure. Remixed Zelda songs makes for a great time.

Whilst there are not many Zelda spin-offs, the best of the bunch before this was 'Link's Crossbow Training', which says quite a lot. Made by the same team behind Crypt of the NecroDancer and uses many of the same mechanics. It's a roguelike, which plays top-down where you move to the beat of the music. This game is very, very tough. Watching a video of someone playing does not do it justice, once you attempt to do so yourself it's much harder than it looks. You can play with either Link or Zelda, each having their own different powers. And the more you play, and discover, the more you'll feel yourself progress and 'get stronger' as you would in a typical Zelda game. The music is very 'zelda-like' with the same composer from 'The Binding of Issac' and 'Super Meat Boy' with actual Zelda songs remixed into his style. The art is reminiscent of 'A Link to the Past' so it's very nostalgic if you're from that gaming-era. I could go on and on, but to summarize: Zelda spin-off, top-down roguelike, crushingly difficult, amazing soundtrack, and loads of fun due to map randomization. It's so good it could be confused as an in-house Nintendo developed game.
