 Linus Tech Tips coverage of PAX 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital, Intel, and SteelSeries. Alright guys, we're here at the Indie Mega Booth checking out Crypt of the NecroDancer, which the name sounds crazy and the game is crazy. Can you tell me more about the main premise of this game? Yeah, sure. It's a rogue-like rhythm game, so it combines dungeon crawling with moving to the beat and attacking to the beat. So you crawl around a dungeon and you attack dragons and a lot of undead monsters because of NecroDancer. So yeah, that's the general premise of it. So basically the whole 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 MP3s, 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? So you move around with only the arrow keys or if you're playing with a DDR pad with your feet. And you move around with just those and if there's an enemy 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 context-based 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, man. Difficult question, I know. Right, yeah. Well, it's a roguelike, so it is randomly generated dungeons. And so every time you play it, it's different. And when you die, you start all the way over. And it just has a lot of replayability. It's really refreshing. As a developer, it's super fun for me because I don't get bored of it. 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. This is a really interesting game. You guys won an award, I've heard. Editor's Choice. Best of Show. That's actually pretty epic. Yeah, yeah. So that's actually a pretty epic award to win. So even just seeing that, you guys should definitely check this game out. Crypt of the Neck Road Answer.
