Tate Carter Fernando Rodriguez EAE 1010-001 November 3rd, 2023 Game Journal: Crypt of the NecroDancer What is the name of the game you chose to play? I chose to play Crypt of the NecroDancer which is in the rhythm genre. Why did you pick that game and genre of game? I picked Crypt of the NecroDancer because I had heard great things about its unique gameplay mechanics and rhythm gameplay. Tell me what the pertinent details of the game are (I am interested to know what you think the pertinent details are). Note: do not just write up the plot points for this section here unless it is an important part of what you found interesting in the game. Crypt of the NecroDancer is a dungeon-crawling rhythm game where you navigate through procedurally generated dungeons while moving and attacking to the beat of the music. The game combines elements of roguelike and rhythm-based games to create a unique and challenging experience. Each level is set to an infectious soundtrack, and your movements and actions must be timed to the rhythm of the music. The game features a variety of enemies, items, and power- ups, adding depth and strategy to the gameplay. It also offers different playable characters, each with their own abilities and playstyles, allowing for multiple ways to approach the game. What made the game fun? What got in the way of the fun? Crypt of the NecroDancer was an incredibly fun and addictive game. The combination of rhythm-based gameplay and dungeon exploration created a thrilling and satisfying experience. The soundtrack was catchy and energizing, making it enjoyable to play along with the music. The game's difficulty was a major factor in its fun factor, as it provided a challenge that kept me engaged and motivated to improve. However, at times, the difficulty level could become frustrating, especially during boss battles or when facing tough enemies. Learning and memorizing enemy patterns and mastering the rhythm-based mechanics required patience and practice.

And finally, have you played similar games before? If so, what made this game different from other games you have played? If not, think of aspects of the game you chose that can be compared to other games you have played before (a specific game mechanic, overall tone, music, visual design, etc.) I have played other rhythm-based games before, such as Guitar Hero and Just Dance , but Crypt of the NecroDancer stands out due to its unique blend of rhythm gameplay and dungeon exploration. The combination of the two genres creates a challenging and engaging experience that I haven't encountered in other games. The procedural generation of the dungeons adds replayability and unpredictability to each playthrough, making it different from other rhythm games that follow a set tracklist. The pixel art visual style and retro-inspired music give the game a nostalgic and charming feel, reminiscent of classic video games.
