The rhythm roguelike where every tactical decision has to land on the beat.
Crypt of the NecroDancer belongs in the roguelike conversation because its grid movement, enemy patterns, coin multiplier, soundtrack pressure, and beat timing fuse dungeon tactics with musical discipline. The run structure is what matters: it asks players to build a plan under uncertainty, then live with the consequences when the run turns ugly.
Example

Why it matters
NecroDancer matters because it proved roguelike turns could be felt physically, not just reasoned through.
