9. Crypt of NecroDancer

Developed by Brace Yourself Games, this game is somewhat a Rhythm Game. With initial release on July 30, 2015 and full release on April 23, 2015 on Windows, OSX and Linux this game has till date passed every critical review successfully.

Apart from being a Rhythm game, its base is scripted down as a well structured tale which is main highlight of the game and which makes it a must play for many who thrive for fun and adventure at same time. Along with that, the music lovers can even play their own tracks in the game and make the character of game dance to their sequence number.

Scene is set up in the form of a story where Cadence daughter of a farmer falls in crypt searching for her father and which changes her life. Crypt is controlled by a Necrodancer who steals Cadence’s heart and forces her to defeat his army to get it back. Her actions are tied to beat of music and ultimately her heart so that she can stay alive.

This is done very effectively to bring some amusement and fun in the game for those who get bored of just doing adventure. The story continues with Cadence finding her father and then defeating Necrodancer and taking his lute and so on, but that would be more amazing when played.
