Short Game Classic – 21: Crypt of the Necrodancer

We covered Crypt of the Necrodancer in 2014, before the game left early access. Since we will be covering it’s Zelda-infused sequel Cadence of Hyrule next week, and the original episode has dropped off of the feed, we’ve refreshed and re-released this classic episode. This episode begins with an early version of what is now our “what’s making us Happy this week” segment that is now a bit out of date, since we were discussing the upcoming release of D&D 5th edition among other things. We think it’s still fun, but if you want to skip straight to the game discussion you can use the (new!) chapter markers, or jump to 20 minutes in. Friend of the show Justin put together a playlist of the best music from the Crypt of the Necrodancer soundtrack. You can find it here.
