Rift of the NecroDancer reviewed by Charlie Wacholz on PC, also available on Nintendo Switch.
You could wear out your keyboard slapping arrow keys to the beat and jamming in your seat to Rift of the NecroDancer’s excellent soundtrack, fervently chasing down a perfect run of a song for hours. Whether you’re fighting stuffy puppet masters, rhythmically ridding the world of monsters, or just waddling around in a silly mole costume, it provides many excellent flavors of arcade-style rhythm action. Even though this “Greatest Hits” anthology isn’t as focused or Earth-shattering as Brace Yourself Games’ genre-bending debut album, it still continually surprises and delights by providing clever twists on time-tested mechanics.
