A rhythm-rougelike game that is incredibly fun to play.
Besides being a rougelike game, it doesn't give you time to think your next move, because every move you make is bound to the beat of the dungeon, which features the catchiest soundtrack ever.
This creates a mixture of strategic jumping, frantc battles and trying to smack your enemies around to the beat (which is surprising satisfying, though might get you into trouble if you aren't carefull).
The mmucis is really good, and besides it there are two more soundtracks for two characters, if you wanted more (one is synth remix and the other is a heavy metal version, for the harder charcters).
There is a handfull of other characters you can play, some play difrent, but most are just plain harder to play, for those who want some aditional chalenge (and most of them are relatives of the main character Cadence and have music-pun names).
The enemies are unique and well designed, you can easily tell what kind of enemy is approaching you, and as you play, you wil get used to knowing what enemy is behind you just by their sound.
The shopkeeper is a retired badass like in most rougelikes, but also happens to be an opera (shopera) singer, which is really usefull as you can her him across the level, signaling how close to the shop you are. If you manage to kill him you get a bling crown that doubles all your coin drops, but his gost might come to avenge him in later levels.
If you like to play rougelikes to the beat this is the game for you (and if you don't want to be rushed, play as bard and play the turns as slowly as you want, while still enyoing the awesome music).
