Linus Tech tips coverage of PS 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel
and steel series all right guys we're here at the Indie Mega Booth checking
out Crypt of the necro dancer which the name sounds crazy and the game is crazy
can you tell me more about the main premise of this game yeah sure um it's a
Rog likee rhythm game so it combines dungeon crawling with moving to the beat
and attacking to the beat um so you crawl around a dungeon and you attack
dragons and and a lot of Undead uh monsters cuz of necro dancer um so yeah
that's a premise of it yeah so basically the whole the moving to the beat thing
there's a song playing in the background you can load your own MP3s correct so
you can load Your Own MP3 so if there's a song you like a certain dance song you like you can load that up and then at
the bottom of the screen you see bars coming into a heart and you have to move
on the rhythm of the song so you can load in whatever you want and dance to
that tell me more about the main mechanics I know there's a shovel and a
weapon how does that play into the game um so you move around with only the
arrow keys or if you're playing with a DDR pad with your feet and and uh you
move around with just those and if there is an enemy like in the attack range of
your weapon then you'll attack instead or if you run into a wall you'll dig it
out instead so it's all like context based uh mechanics cool there's also
hidden shops in the game and stuff that you can find and to purchase things you
have to dance on top of them which is actually pretty awesome what's your
favorite part of this game oh manal
question I know right yeah well it's a Rog leg so it is randomly generated
dungeons uh and so every time you play it it's different when you die started
all the way over and it's just like a has a lot of replayability it's really
refreshing as a developer it's super fun for me cuz I don't get bored of it so
yeah yeah not getting bored of a game as a developer is kind of a big deal so I
don't blame you for that being a favorite part of the game at all um this
is a really interesting game you guys won an award I've heard uh editor's
