What players say
Players are split on Rift of the NecroDancer. Many praise its unique twist on rhythm games, where enemies move and require strategy, but others find the note patterns impossible to read and say it relies on memorization rather than rhythm. There is also frustration that the developers have prioritized paid DLC over free updates.
