Compatible with your own tracks & USB dance pad!

<span class="bold">Crypt of the NecroDancer</span>, a musical roguelike dungeon crawler with GOG Galaxy integration for Windows and Mac OS X, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 33% launch discount.

Dance, dance, dance the night away. Dance the evil ghosts and skeletons into loot puree. Crypt of the NecroDancer is one of the weirdest games you will ever play, and not because it’s filled to the brim with sporks and quirky tweens. It's a rhythm-based roguelike that has you matching a song's beat to beat the crap out of baddies. It's a straightforward experience that sounds like one of the most innovative things in gaming, but it's not just a gimmick as underneath the notes and tunes you'll find a full-fledged roguelike with plenty of loot, replayability and challenge. Crypt of the NecroDancer let's you import your own music as well, so can you beat it on Through the Fire and Flames?

Practice at home, at work, or on the bus, with the two bonus soundtracks: the original Danny Baranowsky tracks, and Extended Soundtrack (in two remixed versions, by A_Rival and FamilyJules7X) all available in extreme FLAC, and optimal MP3!

For even more NecroDancer digital-swag, check out the extras pack with a behind-the-scenes Director's Cut video, super-high-res Dance Pad covers, and a bunch of other random stuff.




Got questions for the developers? You’re in luck - Ryan and Heather from Brace Yourself Games will be hanging out on the forums on Monday, August 17th, for a special Q&A session from 8 to 10pm GMT (10pm-12am CEST, 4-6pm EDT, 1-3pm PST) to answer all your pressing questions about the game, the life behind game development, or their favorite cat video of all time.





Unleash your killer dance moves in <span class="bold">Crypt of the NecroDancer</span> with GOG Galaxy support for Achievements and Leaderboards. So dance! Dance the dance of the NecroDancer DRM-free on GOG.com! The launch discount will last for one week, until Thursday, August 20, 12:59 PM GMT.

hunvagy: Bought it, but seems you guys left the Galaxy bits in it.. again. Just like the Witcher 3, the installed version just crashes and starts the GOG Galaxy services in the background. Not impressed.

Edit: Yup, just confirmed it for myself, it starts through Galaxy, but not out of the file system :|
Hi,

Could you send us a Support ticket about this so we can look into it? Thank you and sorry for the hassle about this!

phaolo: I'm skipping this only because I know that it would be impossible for me lol.
(says before the next uber promo..)
There is a character you can easily unlock called the Bard with whom you don't have to worry about the rhythm and just enjoy the game :)

IronArcturus: Will there be a new installer for AvP Classic 2000 that will have the Galaxy leftovers removed as well?
Are you referring to the old Launcher? If so, that's been removed when we went from the Alpha stage of GOG Galaxy to Beta.

Of course, it helps to know what exactly you mean by "leftovers" :)

hunvagy: Will do and don't worry about it, once I started it through Galaxy, it started behaving again. Game's worth some hassle :)
Did you try the offline installer as well?

phaolo: Ah.. weird feature in such game, but quite useful then :P
It's a good one to get used to how the various monsters move :) Once you get the hang of that you can try playing as Cadence, the main character of the game :)

IronArcturus: Does the game have an inventory? Is there any kind of a save feature?
Yes, you have an inventory slot for one of each kind of item :)

The levels aren't all that long so saving while you are in a level is not a thing but once you unlock all 4 zones (you can do this with the Bard character even :) ) you can choose which zone you'd like to start in :)

jadegiant: Does this also make the game playable for deaf gamers who never got into the habit of "feeling" the music?
Yes, yes it does :)

mistermumbles: WARNING: Currently Galaxy needs to be installed to run the game.

Grabbed the game via the Downloader, and after installing was perplexed why it wouldn't run when I tried to start the game from either shortcut or the actual executable. A bit nosing around in the game folder and due to an earlier mention in this here thread I saw that weird log folder within that kept mentioning that the game was trying to initialize Galaxy's API, but I didn't have the latter installed. After I installed Galaxy the game ran fine even without Galaxy running.

Still, I shouldn't have to have Galaxy installed at all to run this game. GOG needs to fix this ASAP.

Edit: Hm. After closer inspection of the logs again it may have opted to run through Steam API, even though that wasn't running either. WTF?!? Either give me an untethered game or I shall ask for a refund.

This is not what I was paying for. I also blame the devs who seem to be hung up on forcing one client or another to run this game.

cyboff: I made a small test - uninstalled Galaxy, downloaded setup_crypt_of_the_necrodancer_2.0.0.1.exe via browser link and game works just fine for me...

log looks like this:
--------------------------------------------------------
WINDOW SUCCESSFULLY INITIALIZED
NecroDancer version v1.12 loading...
OnCreate: Initializing Steam
GoG: Initializing galaxy API
OnCreate: Updating screen size
Updating screen size: 960x540

0
OnCreate: Setting update rate
GLOBAL_SCALE_FACTOR: 2.0
Loading ControllerMainMenu...
LoadPlayerDataXML(), cloudTimestamp=0
----------------------------------------------------------

so yes, it's trying to initialize Steam and GOG Galaxy, but when they are not found, game runs just fine without client too....
What you are experiencing is a rare bug in the galaxy system. I would be grateful if you could contact support and give them exact details on how you can reproduce this problem.

We did not experience this problem anywhere during pre-release QA. Once we can reproduce the bug here we can work on fixing this, as the game should (and does) run without galaxy client present on the system.
