Crypt of the NecroDancer has recently announced a new paid DLC update in collaboration with the renowned virtual pop idol, Hatsune Miku. This exciting crossover brings a whole new experience to the game, with a unique character, new soundtrack, and various gameplay enhancements. While the update is currently available on other platforms, Switch players can look forward to its release in the near future.
New Character: Hatsune Miku
The highlight of this DLC update is the introduction of Hatsune Miku as a playable character. Unlike other characters in the game, Hatsune Miku can move in all 8 directions, providing players with more flexibility and agility during gameplay. Additionally, Miku’s unique abilities allow her to dance through enemies, charm monsters, and shatter walls using her powerful singing prowess. Players can land consecutive hits to deal increasing damage and regain singing charges, adding a new strategic element to the gameplay.
In addition to the new character, the DLC update also includes a brand new soundtrack featuring 15 Hatsune Miku songs. This soundtrack includes tracks such as “Too Real” by Danny Baranowsky, “Ten Thousand Stars” by CircusP, and “Hello Builder” by UtsuP, among others. Players can groove along to these catchy tunes while exploring the game’s challenging dungeons. The Hatsune Miku soundtrack is enabled by default when playing as Miku but can also be selected for other characters in single-player mode through the “Change Soundtrack” menu.
One of the notable features of this update is the compatibility mode for online multiplayer lobbies. Players can now join multiplayer sessions hosted on older versions of the game, allowing for a seamless gaming experience across different platforms. A “Cross-play” option has been added for hosting multiplayer lobbies, enabling players from various platforms to join and play together. The update also includes changes to default multi-press combos for special actions, as well as bug fixes such as screen tearing on certain systems.
The Hatsune Miku crossover DLC update for Crypt of the NecroDancer brings a fresh and exciting twist to the game. With a new character, a captivating soundtrack, and various gameplay enhancements, players can look forward to an enhanced experience in the rhythmic dungeon-crawling adventure. Whether you’re a fan of Hatsune Miku or a seasoned Crypt of the NecroDancer player, this update offers something for everyone to enjoy. Stay tuned for the release of this DLC on the Nintendo Switch and get ready to dance your way through the NecroDancer’s crypt in style.
