The groove is in the heart of this roguelike

Rhythmic dungeon crawlerCrypt of the NecroDancerhas been fun to watch at expos, but soon enough we’ll be able to play (and fail, likely repeatedly) on our own terms — the game hits Steam Early Access for Windows, Mac, and Linux on Wednesday, July 30.

Even with that release date knowledge, I strongly recommend watching this launch trailer. It’s informative yet quick to the point all while being pretty entertaining. I even laughed!
