Crypt of the NecroDancer

Crypt of the NecroDancer

Crypt of the NecroDancer actually sneaked onto our 2014 Game of the Year list—but only as an Honorable Mention, given it was still in Early Access.

Well, this rhythm-based roguelike game danced its way out of Early Access earlier this year and subsequently onto 2015’s official list. It’s reminiscent of dungeon-crawling in Zelda (in fact there’s even a mod for that), except everything moves and attacks to the beat of the background music. Bonus points if you break out your Dance Dance Revolution pad to play, though be sure to stretch beforehand.
