It will also include a brand new soundtrack from Danny Baranowsky and others. Crypt of the NecroDancer received high praise on its release and was followed up by Zelda spin-off Cadence of Hyrule, which received an Essential from Donlan in his review. "It's an authentic banger, frankly - a Zelda game to be savoured. It's surprising and strange and funny and sad and thrilling. And when it's over, the game that lives on in your memory really feels like Zelda," he said. Rift of the NecroDancer should be one to keep an eye on then.
