With a new Danny Baranowsky soundtrack
Rift Of The NecroDancer was teasedjust a couple of weeks agoat the end of a trailer for the newest Crypt Of The NecroDancer expansion. At the time, there was no info other than a logo, but as of yesterday there’s a full reveal trailer. We now know that Rift Of The NecroDancer is a standalone rhythm game, akin toGuitar Herowith combat.
Here’s the trailer:

Rift of the NecroDancer Reveal Trailer
The bulk of the trailer looks like three-button Guitar Hero with enemies rather than notes coming down the stem of your instrument. This seems to be “Rift mode”, and you’ll be keying along to a new soundtrack from famed game composer Danny Baranowsky.
There are glimpses of other mini games in the trailer, too, in which you’ll help protagonist Cadence “overcome the challenges of the modern world via rhythmic mini games”, Ouendan style. Plus, there’s Boss Battles Mode, in which you fight one-on-one in similar rhythmic punch-ups.
I’ve no idea how Cadence got from the presumed medieval-ish setting of Crypt Of The NecroDancer into the seeming modern day of Rift, but then I’ve also no idea how she got to Hyrule for Cadence Of Hyrule, so maybe it doesn’t matter.
There’s no release date yet, but you’ll find moreon Steam.
