I'm tired of 2d pixel indie games so I scroll past it without even glancing

I hate music and I hate crypts.

>>383581747
Tried playing it, moving to the beat was fucking annoying. Game is gay.

I never reached the final boss with Aria.
The tracks in the grass zone always make me miss a beat.

>>383582067
there's is a character for people like you

>>383582104
Fuck off, musicfag.

>>383582087
Let me guess; Grave Throbbing. I fucking hate this one, try using the Virt ost it's kinda easier for Aria

>>383582105
orly?

>>383582087
I get couple levels in the first stage. I can't be arsed anymore.

oh hey, I didn't know about this.
That's pretty cool thanks OP but I haven't finished the base game yet do I have to in order to enjoy this DLC?

>>383581747
i have the base game but i haven't played it for more than a few minutes.

Shit game. If a game is going to do pixel art, at least do high quality pixel art like Metal Slug or Street Fighter 3. The sprites don't even tile correctly in some random generations.

Moving to the bass beat gets boring before the second map is complete.

>>383582557
Never understood why it got so much praise honestly

>>383582417
nah it adds tons of new items staffs, hammers, axes, harp etc.. and items new spells, pets, shrines, quartz armor and more

>>383582087
I never left the first zone with Aria.

It got praise back then but nowadays the community is pretty tiny even with console ports, anyway most people sucks shit and can't even beat the first zone (including (you)) because they cant learn enemies patterns properly

>>383582596
The devs and writers are connected to games journalists. I suspect they used their influence to help garner praise for their friends' game. Silverstring Media even brags about being involved with the game.

>>383582663
Same for me but personally I feel like it's a chore, Melody is my most favorite character to run due to the lute

>>383582630
alrighty then
Is there a Dungeon Meshi overhaul mod yet?
I was tempted to make one but eventually got distracted, it's all coming back to me now. Imma go check

>>383582786
inorite

The lute is crazy good.

>>383581747
I beat all zones Cadence for the first time yesterday, which character should I do next?

I stopped playing after the massive jump in difficulty in the second zone.

Aw shit, the game's so good.
Too bad I suck at it. How long did it take you to beat it?
I didn't even get into the extra characters

>massive jump in difficulty
Not every enemies moves every 2 beat (or don't) you know, Zone 3 and 4 have enemies that goes in diagonal and some that explodes if you get too close, for some reasons the DLC's Zone 5 is easier

I love it. I do an all zones run every couple of days just for the hell of it. I don't compete for score though, I'm not that good.

>>383581747
im too autistic to have rhythm

>>383583391
competitions usually care about time only anyway, here's last week SQDG of the DLC
https://youtu.be/c6MOZf9Pwno?t=17m43s

>>383583445
at least it's always in 4/4
Shame it never tried to be something else than 4/4 though, it could've been awesome to have different kind of rhythms

>>383583194
>The game isn't bad, you merely aren't good enough at the game to appreciate it!
Fair argument, but I feel I got far enough into it to know I didn't care for it. It's just a rote dungeon crawler.

>>383583564
Trying using other soundtracks, maybe the music could entertain you more in a genre that fits you. There's the base one composed by Danny B,
Metal arranged by FamilyJules,
Synthwave by Girlfriend Records,
Retro by Jake Kaufman (Shovel Knight)
EDM by A_Rival
and finally a OC Remix tribute album for the DLC

>>383583540
You're correct, but I have to mention the Conga boss. That's just cool, but I feel it wouldn't work for longer stages

>>383582104
music is haram

>>383583789
Yeah I believe there is a shrine that gives you a good item but ruins your beat kinda like Conga for the whole run, I hope the 2 new bosses are good because Fortissimole was really average (specifically his Mega Ran vocals)

>>383584042
>a shrine that gives you a good item but ruins your beat
Really? Or is that in the DLC? Sounds cool

>>383584160
It's in the base game it looks like a conga

>>383583753
Do I need to buy DLC to get these other soundtracks?

>>383584378
OC Remix yes but the rest are in the settings

>>383584378
No, except the very last one

>>383581747
I bought it and refunded it about an hour later. Wasn't very fun.

>>383584440
why would you refund a $3 game

Got 10 hours on Steam, as well as some offline hours as well, yet still stuck on the 3rd level (Lava and ice, not 1-3)

Game is pretty hard

>>383584560
I'm stuck on the 4th zone, got to the boss twice. And then there's the final boss after that, I assume.
How do people git gud?

>>383584440
I agree, I don't get this game

>>383584850
Try clearing the items you don't need with the Janitor (it costs diamond) so you can only pick up good stuff during your run, Dead Ringer is a pain in the ass but there's a technique to get him (you better watch a video) Necrodancer's pattern is randomly generated you always need to position Cadence and Eli on the two tiles to bomb his stage, once its all bombed you take the lute and beat the shit out of the Necrodancer

>>383584560
Same, I get my shit rekt before I get anything good to deal with monsters
I just started to unlock more weapons, altough I feel like the broadsword is the most useful I've found yet

>>383583071
It gets easier when you get to know the move and attack patterns and how to deal with the enemies, just keep trying

>>383582087
>playing the game without custom music
What's the point?

This is nonsensical. The Necrodancer sprites need to be readable above all else. Being a rhythm based game, it's important that you can tell the difference between enemies at a glance. Yes, the Metal Slug sprites look nice, but the two-tone shading high-saturation style actually improves this game.

>>383584850
If I knew that, I wouldn't still be in the 4th zone. I have actually completed the game once now that I think about it, but it was with Dove, which was really easy.

I nearly bought this in the sale but moving to the music just seems tedious.
Why are there no rhythm games? I can't seem to find anything good other than Rhythm Heaven.

>>383585090
because the OST is dope

After spending two days to beat all zones Cadence I almost got Melody on my first try, but what the fuck am I supposed to do against this?

>>383584850
There's a trick to Dead Ringer.
After the four outer bells have been rung, either by you or him, he'll start charging you every time he lines up with you and a gong appears at the top of the stage. You have to position him so he's at the bottom of the screen and you're standing in line with the gong. Then when he charges you jump out of the way and he charges into the gong, opening the way to the final showdown.

And as far as gitting gud, I actually find all zones runs to be the best way to go. You start with lower health and whatnot, if you've unlocked those things, but your items and powerups carry over between zones, so you can really build up a strong loadout if you find the right stuff. More hearts are always good to look for, I usually try and get a spear, longsword, or bow for reach and play safer, as opposed to a broadsword or morning star which theoretically can kill faster by hitting more enemies. Crown of Thorns is great, as is the Peace Ring. Apart from that it's just learning the enemies and not fucking up.

>>383586485
You have to push him into the lava behind him before the walls close on you.

>>383586752
I must have taken too long because he had 9 skeletons with shields behind him blocking the way

>>383584560
I didn't beat all zones until I had 35 hours in the game, just keep trying

Yeah you gotta juke and move and clear the goddamn skeletons out.

hey guys I own the game on iOS, can I join the party?

>>383587314
sure. How does it play on there?
Also, did anyone try it on a dance pad? Must be the gaming experience like no else

>>383585461
Are you retarded?

>>383587457
Half of the time I'm playing zone 4 I accidentally open the iPad quick menu so it ruins my runs, also there's better optimization than on consoles (such as better resolution, less zoomed in)

I fucking love this game. I've beaten each zone with every character and the Aria vs Golden Lute fight was supremely satisfying to overcome. I'm going to buy a dance pad and keep playing. Excited to see what the last 3 characters released are so I bought a copy after playing the pirated early access version.

It's fine when you're playing Aria. If you get hit you're going to die anyway
