Cadence of Hyrule – Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring the Legend of Zelda |OT| The Hylian Dance
- Thread starter Dancrane212
- Start date
With the more adventure / puzzle focus this game has compared to the original, I wouldn't say so. I can see myself playing through on fixed-beat to enjoy and soak up the world, then return on normal mode for replayability and speed runs.
Polygon review:
"The greatest compliment I can give to Cadence of Hyrule is that if I didn't know any better, I would say this was made by an in-house Nintendo development team. The amount of care and affection found in every area of the game makes it feel astounding that an indie developer was able to pull this off with such confidence. "

Time for an 8bitdo sn30. I'll be testing it out on mine tonight.

My first hour of this game in a nutshell.
Yeah I died 11 times the first 30 mins, found a lot of heart pieces so it's slowly getting better.
After 2 hours with the game I can confirm Cadence of Hyrule is a very good video game.
Maybe its just that I've played a lot of CotN recently (bought it and loved the hell out of it following the announcement for this) but it seems pretty easy so far. Not that I haven't died a few times but CotN really helped prepare me for a lot of this one.
And to the surprise of no one, we have a sountrack of the year contender here. Massive smile on my face on two occasions so far:
The Original music is fantastic as well. The first main dungeon really stood out to me.

When I realised the trailer Tal Tal Heights overworld theme was a general Zelda medley with the Great Sea, OoT Hyrule Field and Great Fairy's Theme + getting to the desert for the first time and hearing the always brilliant Gerrudo Valley.

just started and 1st paragraph
making the claim unprovoked while leaving out the most notable of recent spinoffs in Hyrule Warriors, which is great. Oof.
I'll keep reading of course, but what a weird and wrong way to start lol.
I'm so sad. I bought the game and the code hasn't arrived yet 2 hours later by e-mail. Sent a message to Nintendo.
Edit: Somehow it let me buy on the Brazilian e-shop two hours ago, though now I'm navigating through it and it doesn't have the game available. What happened, lol

That's Musuos for you. You either like them or really, really, REALLY don't. One guess which of the two the reviewer falls into.
Still, I would be incredibly surprised if I one day look back and think "I enjoyed Cadence of Hyrule more than Hyrule Warriors." I'm hard pressed to call Hyrule Warriors anything other than my favourite Zelda game, even if it wouldn't be nearly as good without the existance of the main series.
feel the reviewer maybe forgot it existed lol.
even if someone hates or loves link's crossbow, or hyrule, it'd be weird to ignore. Preferences aside, Hyrule has a sizeable metacritic score advantage at least.
isn't that tingle game not bad either?
Man, I hate it when I generally have no interest in a game but then I read 1 or 2 great articles and the Era OT and I'm hyped as fuck out of nowhere.
Think I will buy it later.

Yeah especially when Hyrule Warriors is not only a great spinoff but my favorite Musou game, period. Weird.
Fixed beat mode makes it so you don't have to move on beat. Basically strips out the rhythm element to make it easier. It's the bard character from the original CotN
i'm quite happy it's just a setting this time.
especially since I will play the game co op and co op on beat is hard #_#
Amazing so far. Getting the tempo on some tracks can be difficult but when some familiar theme kicks in its like BLAM
Just came home. I absolutely cannot afford to pay 25€ for a game right now.
But this is my most awaited game of the year so I'm going to pretend I fell and hit the buy button. :/
Edit: Goddamnit, I also had to pretend I hit the letters of my Nintendo account password. In the correct order.

Wired version is much cheaper for testing, it's all I use (Wireless), sold my Pro controller, I just absolutely love this thing. Wired version is 24 as opposed to 44 wireless
Played through the opening bits on my lunch break - and I'm already in love.
Can't wait for Danny Baranowsky to release the OST so I can pick that up.

The title screen music, it's so beautiful! The music is what I'm most excited for, just from the title screen I know it's going to be amazing. Why do I have to work now! I'll dive into it when I get home.
Not exactly, it's still grid based movement one at a time, but it becomes almost turn based. The enemies move when you move
This game is really pretty, great music, and advances on the Necrodancer game perfectly.
However I'm stuck as hell already, must have missed something but just gotta wait til someone else gets to it 😅

The soundtrack is beyond good, the graphics are great, so much charm.
I still don't 'get' the game though lol, terrible at it.

In Fixed Beat it becomes like Tangledeep or [Chocobo / Torneko / Shiren / Pokemon]'s Mystery Dungeon games, if you've played any of them.
I knew this was gonna be good when I heard the title music
Huge smile on my face hearing the music while walking into Kakariko Village
Also it's crazy that it seems like every song has a pause screen version and a enemies defeated version. So much care put into this game that it really feels like Nintendo made it.

I've been playing this and loving it. Beaten one temple this far, and generally having a great time actually playing as Zelda in a Zelda game. I liked Necrodancer a lot too, but this is so much better. All these different renditions of old Zelda tunes are really nice, and the gameplay elevates it beyond being nostalgia fodder.
It's like Necrodancer without being like Necrodancer at all, as weird as that sounds.
I'll reserve final judgement as I've only taken down the first boss, but it's pretty great so far. It'll be interesting to see how replayability turns out. The dungeons are randomized of course, but I'm not so sure about the overworld itself, because most screens have those puzzles baked in, I don't think those are generated. Maybe it'll scramble the overworld screens a bit on a new run?
