Crypt of the Necrodancer just got a DLC that adds Hatsune Miku as a playable character to celebrate the start of her North America tour. Not a sentence I ever expected to write but it turns out she’s a very fun addition to the game.
Miku is one of the weirder characters in the game. She can move in all eight directions, but she doesn’t use a shovel and takes half a heart of damage every missed beat.
Miku has an unusual piercing attack that dashes through enemies and a combo system that increases damage per consecutive hit.
Lastly, she has consumable charm spells that make enemies deal damage to each other heal you. I think they went a little nuts with the mechanics for her, but Miku is a really unique challenge.Â
The DLC also adds tons of Hatsune Miku songs to play with and two new Danny Baranowsky tracks (see below). All of this can be bought on Steam, GOG and PlayStation for a bargainous $1.99, although if you’re on Switch then you’ll have to be content with “coming soon”.
