Cadence of Hyrule Review

Cadence of Hyrule reviewed on Nintendo Switch by Mike Epstein. Our Verdict:

Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the Necrodancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda takes inspiration from a popular indie game to create a fun little detour on the path of Nintendo's beloved adventure franchise. Its rhythm-based combat is playful and fun, but also smart and tactical, making every step feel like the next step in the solution of one giant puzzle. Despite using procedural generation, its semi-randomized map evokes the charms of Hyrule, and inspires the same wonder. I think the nicest thing I can say about Cadence of Hyrule is that it absolutely deserves to stand in the Zelda canon alongside the best of its 2D games.

See we need this more, I love seeing Nintendo let indie devs work with their franchises

[Marcosatsu]

Bought Crypt of the Necrodancer cause it was $3 and now I'm gonna pick up Cadence of Hyrule cause they're great games 💕

[lnrts]

I downloaded and played this game on launch day. I can say this wholeheartedly, THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTE FUN! The music just keeps you pumped and you keep going and going. At minimum a 9.5/10.

[pedromonteiro]

This game is not only a musical game, it has a lot of the Zelda's franchise elements apart the songs and the visual.

A very positive surprise.

It annoys me every time he says "Curse of the Necrodancer". It's "Crypt" dude!

[nffall]

Zelda and Link are amazing. They battle with monsters while playing Just Dance

[AquaticFayth]

You can switch your play style so you don’t have to move to a beat. It’s more of a mystery dungeon style, which I prefer.

2:39 "Curse of the Necrodancer"

[gingernproud]

You also could have mentioned the “fixed beat mode” that doesn’t stick you with the tempo, but rather makes everything else follows you, so when you move, enemies move. It makes it easier for new players, and quicker for speed runs

[Yeahyouheardme]

Just the OST alone is phenomenal blending the best of Legend of Zelda with the style of Crypt of the Necrodancer.

[BackfallGenius]

I played for like 8 hrs straight the day it launched. It's so catchy, addictive, fun, and is a proper adventure game with a serious Zelda feel. I love it.

[freedominart]

Heyyy K8!!! Congrats on helping create the soundtrack!

[StewNWT]

This reviewer didn't the best job tbh. Never mind the score, he got several names wrong, referenced the wrong games for the music, didn't mention anywhere that the entire game can be played in 2 player coop mode, and generally his commentary was quite superficial

[infierno]

when the music is the highlight but the video doesn't give credit to the man who remixed it all

[gtabro]

It's such a simple concept but executed so well
you go little buddy

[dylantheawesome]

Did he really just call it curse of the necrodancer???

[amazingdashcamdriving]

This game should get the score of 9.5 . Great music and gameplay

[UnsentBigby]

So at 00:15 he says curse of the necrodancer. Odd thing I can no longer shake out of my head.

[SideEffectsmusic]

Took me a couple hours to get into it but I'm really into it now! once you get some items that are permanent, it gets fun and gets that Zelda feel.

[chrisbailey]

It feels like a Frogger game as link jumps from square to square instead of walking in all other Zelda games!
