special thanks to caffeine, ‪@BraceYourselfGames‬, and everyone else (except Jirard) who got referenced; your videos continue to inspire me to put up with VEGAS Pro crashing every hour. Every. Single. Hour.

[@BraceYourselfGames]

Thank you for playing I'm showing this video to my whole team haha

[@bigcolumbo]

😘❤️

[@youkjl]

Wow! It's the real zelda!

[@secrom36]

the coins must be lemons now!!

[@thx4chrckingin]

Oh my jeebus its the legends themselves

[@guynah7871]

He knows the distinction between roguelike and lites HE KNOOOOOOOWS

[@keiyakins]

If he did, he'd realize Necrodancer does in fact meet the criteria for roguelike. The only major point against it is that you can't spend as much time as you want thinking about each move... which is the rhythm part of rhythm roguelike.

[@dantheman7312]

@@keiyakins game: "has permanent unlockables that help you progress in the game" you: "thats a roguelike not lite" tbf all zones mode is a roguelike but using the individual zone stairs in a roguelite because of the extra hearts that you can unlock.

[@keiyakins]

@@dantheman7312 That doesn't actually violate the Berlin interpretation, which is the closest thing anyone has actually proposed to a definition other than "you know, like [game]"

[@amandaslough125]

The fact the algorithm gave me this review because the Miku DLC is out now is a blessing.

[@BenStrandberg]

I would even take this a step further and say that the average professional reviewer is worse at games (in general) than the average gamer, which is one of a few contributing factors to review scores being lower than user scores.

[@ilestecritqueseullink6387]

Despite your small numbers of subs this really looks professional, well done

[@nitemare74]

"Even if i can't beat it, I'm never gonna stop loving this game" Exactly

[@trevorsmith470]

Fun fact, Virt, the guy who made the chiptune version of the soundtrack, is also the guy who did the shovel knight soundtrack.

[@relsre]

Another fun fact, _Chipzel_ , the person who made a different chiptune version of the soundtrack, is also the person who did the _Dicey Dungeons_ and _Super Hexagon_ soundtracks.

[@boopy6430]

I'm surprised you dont have a bigger following. This was super well made and did a really good job of showcasing the best parts of Crypt and its music. Subbed! Keep up the good work! I cant wait to see more from you.

[@genericname2747]

Just watching gameplay makes my heart speed up

[@TheHellKiwi]

We gon see this baby boy grow, aren't we?

[@bigcolumbo]

😏

[@GREATGAIWAIN]

The fact that there aren't more reviews of this game singing its praises is a crying shame. You're doing the Lord's work. I especially love that you just own being bad at the game. I wish more people had the sincerity to just say they're bad. Most of us are. I've beaten necromancer all zones runs many times and have NEVER beaten the daily challenge because I am bad at the game. It usually takes me several restarts before I get one full clear and never under 20 minutes.

[@GREATGAIWAIN]

Also being pro-union? Fucking based. Have a sub.

[@TabithashYT]

I felt that "Metroid" bit... my heart... aaaa...

[@BlondeMcGuinn]

Dude this is a fun video. I too am terrible at Crypt and can appreciate that it’s extremely creative and unique with a fantastic soundtrack. Honestly I just haven’t put enough time in. I dig your style and subbed. I’ll check out your other videos. Big Ups!

[@secundaludghens9649]

I found this looking for the soundtrack and I regret nothing. Hope this channel grows like it deserves to

[@kaldilftones]

Lmao the clip at the beginning 💀💀💀

[@3dDoener]

the devs, BraceYourselfGames are so incredibly based that after FIVE YEARS they decided to pump out updates and free content as well as anew DLC for the game out of the blue

[@charisz595]

Chad Dev

[@bottuja]

Not exactly. The new DLC and updates are a fan-made recreation of the entire game. It is still chad to embrace it, rather than shutting it down like SOME companies.

[@3dDoener]

@@bottuja what are you talking about

[@bottuja]

@@3dDoener Some fans recreated the game with online multiplayer and lua moding, and BraceYourselfGames made it official. They didn't develop the new DLC.

[@N1CKSO]

Fuck how accurate that fake recommendation page was

[@bigcolumbo]

Either the algorithm is working, or I just happen to attract very smart, funny, good-looking viewers with great taste.

[@N1CKSO]

@@bigcolumbo Only reasonable explanation tbh

[@enugget8565]

Thanks for making this video! I will now be getting a coffee and buying necrodancer.

[@chesonnor1646]

Danganronpa originally is a Mystery fast paced Detective game in form of an anime Light Novel. They added a couple songs from the original games into the Crypt Soundtrack as well as the Skins you funnily mentioned in the Video

[@Yesnt915]

Great video, incredibly underrated. Just like NecroDancer.

[@Stanheights]

I love this! As someone who's put like (checks steam) 93 hours into this game, I think this is a super balanced and fair review of a game I love. : D Thank you so so much for adding subtitles too! It means a lot, especially when a small KZbinr does it. It really shows your care for viewership! Sorry if this comment doesn't make much sense, full disclosure I'm high as shit rn

[@jarkkolahtinen7441]

Listening to the soundtrack here

[@alexkov2630]

These jokes hit tho

[@PREDATORTECHNIQUE]

Fren you startled me with the notification sounds.

[@alloramora]

4:41 "WTF is a Danganranpa?" 5:18 DR fan and Crypt player here! The DR soundtrack and the characters are brought in from the Danganronpa game series, a visual novel murder mystery game. The reason they're in Crypt is because Spike Chunsoft, the developers of the series, published Crypt of the NecroDancer in Japan markets, and it's BYG's way of saying thank you to them!

[@Smoldragoncat]

This is really random, but in the subtitles at 1:56 it says that “Disco Descent” plays and this is a really good video essay but that song is not Disco Descent It’s actually uh The 1-3 song? Don’t remember the name Edit: It’s Mausoleum Mash

[@bigcolumbo]

Dang, good catch. Fixed it on my end, but it might take a while before it appears. Glad you liked it otherwise!😄

[@supergamerbro899]

Great video on one of my favorite games! My personal favorite track is Konga conga kappa, due to how unique it is from any other track!

[@alexreid1948]

this man deserves way more subscribers. great content please keep it up

[@ZekalFour]

Automatic thumb up for Croc ost.

[@frosty_mentos1238]

I really wish there was more crypt like music out there. God damn good game.

[@Augusata]

Great review for one of my favorite roguelikes :)

[@Bjrn-AndreasLamo]

This is a great video, high production quality. It would easily have a quarter million views if it was about a popular recently released game

[@satel2650]

Literally sqw this hame on sale today and was wondering to buy it now that its 3 euros. Literally discovered your channel and you are amazing bro. Instantly buying the game and subbing to you!!!

[@waski1155]

I've been a huge fan of necrodancer since its release and this is my favorite review of it

[@matthewacuna6336]

very cool, much appreciated

[@Shiroiniko_]

Seriously, what is a "danganronpa?". Anyways, your video was surprisingly high quality for such a small channel! I enjoyed it.

[@menchin11]

i like how the canadians are from cornwall

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Is that music from Croc??

[@bigcolumbo]

The most important takeaway is that I have learned to not hardcode my KZbinr inspirations into my video or to make jokes about Epic Games ruining the things they buy. And to quadruple check the artist's label when showcasing their work.

[@readyplayerthree3]

I don't wanna flex too much but I do feel the same in some ways on not being able to complete Necrodancer, just slowly chugging along while jamming out! I'm stuck on stuff like Aria All Zones and All Characters runs but I haven't quit the game and I doubt I will! I bet you're gonna see improvement in ya gameplay cause clearly you're not gonna be giving up any time soon

[@Flompi801]

So we'll man it's seems that I'm the first comment so I will like to tell you that you editing is amazing and your voice is pretty good

[@Frost46475]

Love the concept of this video; some games are just fun even if I happen to suck at it, as long as its entertaining then who cards about being bad at something

[@daniberriro]

The third game mode in Rift is not inspired by Wario Ware, is inspired by Rhthym Paradise/Heaven. (Cool video btw)

[@bigcolumbo]

... ah fuck. You're absolutely right. That's on me. Apologies to Rhythm Heaven fans, I'd play them, but uh, yeah, y'know... 👆

[@thx4chrckingin]

​​@@bigcolumbo *_BAD_*

[@Queen_and_lancer_dose_a_thing]

let me break down: danganronpa is a game basically about highschool students murdering each other to get out of the school they were in when a bear called mono-kuma takes over you play as makoto nae-gi there are 3 dangronpa game and each evolve around the ultmate despair junko eno-shima. hin-ata and chi-aki are from the 2nd game along with mono-mi mono-mi being the only robtic animal that dosent want to kill you thats just a basic recap from the charters you said in the video

[@betravoid]

Yapping

[@ParaFox404]

Loved the vid

[@zenmaster8]

I love this game, its a 9.5/10 in my eyes but also i have only beaten crypt as bard (the one that takes all the rhythm out of this rhythm game). Cadence of Hyrule is peak too but i prefer that one as death is more forgiving, not being a rogue like.

[@Realmidboss]

DW, I bet I'm bad too at this. Like with every Rouge-like lite whatever they are.

[@elreins]

Excelente!!!

[@natjams3000]

i usually dont play hard dungeon crawlers but my brother got me it and its very fun

[@lanaalways]

Someone references Melee, I sub, it's as easy as that

[@TheLethargicWeirdo985]

Crypt is a game I get super addicted to every one in a while and try to grind for the last 3 achievements, even though I know I'll never be able to beat coda or do all char low%. The one problem I have with this game is that if you want to go through the main story (3 characters Cadence, Melody and Aria get story cutscenes and exclusive end bosses) there is an insane difficulty spike for most players with Aria. I love Aria because I normally just use the dagger and don't skip beats anyway, but compared to Cadence and Melody, Aria is like climbing a mountain with toothpicks since you have to pretty much be flawless. I think having her as part of the story turned some people off and wasn't the best idea.

[@ashleyhunte]

THEY ADDED DANGANRONPA????? I’m coming back to the game today, thanks for the review 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@Calv_]

Only played the Zelda NecroDancer which I somehow completed and never the original, if I knew it had Danganronpa in it I'd have rushed to it too 😂 edit: Also dude, keep up the good work, YT recommended you out of nowhere and I'm sure you'll have a massive boost in subs soon since your content is great.

[@bigcolumbo]

Thank you for not getting upset at my Danganronpa jokes/ribbing 😉

[@roubarammeunome]

I was in doubt to buy it or not, since i really liked the general aspects of the game but also SUCK at rythm games, but after that video im certainly gonna play it

[@Rosetmee]

I was laughing the whole time, how do you have so little amount of subs? I demand answers!

[@charisz595]

2:01 i still stuck on candece mom character :( always lose, and keep playing it lmao

[@kasimu24]

Have you played dead cells?

[@bigcolumbo]

Not yet! (I really should though.) The Castlevania DLC has sealed my fate into playing it eventually.

[@LVDVL]

15 Subs??? I gotta comment something!

[@milkcappy]

i too am dogshit at necrodancer but by god is it a game i just cannot put down

[@rusgum]

I love hard games and I'm not able to play them 😎

[@kwuzie2265]

i fuckin love this game

[@ArturMorgan]

Bro why do you have only 360 subs WTFFF

[@szprycha3873]

Hey! you've clearly played Virt's remix of Disco Descent instead of A_rival's, and then played Chipzel's version of the track instead of Virt's! this is clearly unacceptable and invalidates the whole review i think have a good day

[@bigcolumbo]

... FUCK.
