Brace Yourself Games has announced that Rift of the NecroDancer is now available on Nintendo Switch, news that was shared in this week’s Nintendo Direct presentation.
After she is dragged into a strange new world, Cadence must engage in musical combat with the monsters which are pouring through the Rift.
Each monster that she must face has unique behaviours – such as bats that shift lanes when they are attacked – and mightier foes will take multiple hits to conquer. You must learn the pattern of each new fretful fiend to keep the music flowing.
The developer has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Show Stopping Music: Brand new soundtrack with 30+ Rhythm Rift tracks by Danny Baranowsky, Jules Conroy, Alex Moukala, Josie Brechner, Sam Webster, and Nick Nausbaum with more on the way!
- Difficulty That Scales With You: Four intensity levels for each Rhythm Rift – Easy, Medium, Hard and Impossible.
- Race To The Top: Climb your way to the top of global leaderboards!
- Modified Mayhem: Push your limits with gameplay-altering modifiers.
- Endless Replayability: Once you’ve conquered our hand-crafted levels, challenge your sight-reading with Remix Mode.
- Remix Mode throws a fresh beatmap your way every playthrough while retaining the original level’s rhythmic design.
- Remix mode also makes Daily Challenges possible, by changing up the circumstances for each song. Play the same random seed as every other player that day and see how you rank on global leaderboards!
- Boss Battles: Go head-to-head against five fearsome foes in rhythm-based boss battles!
- Minigames: Immerse yourself in Cadence and friends’ modern misadventures through five quirky, slice-of-life rhythm minigames. Take a boppin’ yoga class, help a friend with a part-time job, and more!
Rift of the NecroDancer is now available digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide.
