This means that you can bang through Cadence of Hyrule in an evening if you so choose. This works well in Cadence, it makes for a more enjoyable game that feels more forgiving, yet still rewarding as you progress. There is far less of a penalty for dying in Cadence, with much of your progression being saved from life to life, plus you can fast travel to areas that you’ve uncovered and Shiekah Stones that you’ve unlocked. While Crypt of the Necrodancer was a difficult rogue-like title, Cadence of Hyrule is a bit more forgiving and structured. Want that shiny treasure in the middle of the room, you might have to clear out every enemy in a certain amount of time or do so without getting hit.
Each room will have different treasures to encounter and some will have different challenges attached to them. It’s a game that’s about pattern recognition of the various enemy types, while managing your own health and items in the process. Players hop from square to square on the map while trying to get advantageous positions to strike enemies. This means that players movements are tied to the beat of the current music.
All of the combat mechanics from that game have carried over into Cadence of Hyrule. While it might look and sound the part of a classic Zelda game, the Crypt of the Necrodancer ties are strong. There’s been an incredible job done of the graphics front to achieve this and it’s all hammered home by an incredible soundtrack full of classic TLOZ songs that have be remixed and re-imagined by Danny Baranowsky (Super Meat Boy, The Binding of Issac, Crypt of the Necrodancer). Looking at the game in a still shot, you might mistake it for a classic 2D top-down Zelda title from years past. There are boss battles, hidden secrets and items, puzzles to solve and other mainstays of the classic 2D Zelda games. Cadence of Hyrule is part rhythm game where you’re tasked with hopping and fighting to the beat of classic Zelda tunes, and part adventure/puzzle game where you’re tasked with tracking down items to progress further and further into the world. It’s an entirely new game that will offer the types of gameplay experiences that Zelda fans love while utilizing some of the core gameplay mechanics of Crypt of the Necrodancer. Cadence of Hyrule isn’t Crypt of the Necrodancer with a Legend of Zelda makeover. Not everything has been carried over here. The unique thing about that game is that you needed to do this while keeping your movements and attacks aligned with the soundtrack. Like other roguelikes, Crypt of the Necrodancer had you trying to drive deeper and deeper into a series of dungeons by defeating enemies without dying. The original game was a lot of fun to play and it had a lot of unique gameplay mechanics. Cadence of Hyrule is not Crypt of the Necrodancer with a Zelda skin on it
