Crypt of the NecroDancer v4.1.1 is now available! Happy Rhythm Fest everyone! We're celebrating with a new update, discounts on Crypt of the NecroDancer and all DLC, and the Rift of the NecroDancer demo is back if you didn't get a chance to play it last time. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3029150/Rift_of_the_NecroDancer_Demo/ Now on to the patch notes!

New features

  • Each combination of character and game mode tracks its own win streak individually
  • Win streaks are preserved when quitting to the lobby on the run summary menu or the first floor after a win
  • Win streaks are lost when quitting to the lobby (after the first floor), quick restarting mid-game or losing a run
  • Menu options that are about to break a win streak now show a warning message while on a streak
• Added an option to toggle DLC playtime being counted separately on supported platforms
• Added a 1 in 1024 chance for Dice Traps to spawn a rare enemy

Balance changes

• Changed Miku to no longer take damage when pressing too many buttons in a single beat
  • Standing still by not pressing any buttons for a beat will still inflict damage as before

• Changed Shield of Shove to push frozen and sunken enemies
• Changed Chaunter to possess Skeleton Knights directly with piercing attacks
• Changed Granite Golems to move more slowly in Randomizer Mode
