Using the game's soundtrack or custom music, all the actions become much more effective when they are matched to the music's beat.
The basic controls consist of four keys or buttons for movement, but optionally even a dance pad is supported.
These move the character around and attack when next to a creature.
Enemies move and attack according to the beat as well and they each have unique patterns that need to be identified.
Moving ahead of the beat is not possible and while the opposite (skipping a beat or not reacting) is allowed, it takes away a coin multiplier bonus that is important to collect the basic currency.
That way the character always need to move or attack and in that way it resembles a very fast version of a turn-based game where turns are executed simultaneously for both the character and enemies.
Often, the song also acts as a time limit and when the song is over the character is taken immediately to the next level, leaving the rewards of the current level behind.
Movement is only horizontal and vertical, not diagonal.
Typical roguelike elements include permadeath, randomized environments, and weapons and items that are often different for each session.
Next to the basic coins currency used in a single session to buy items at a shopkeeper, diamonds are a second currency that are gathered across sessions and can be spent at the lobby to access permanent perks.

Typical weapons include a broadsword with a long reach, a throwable dagger, bombs, and a shovel to bust through walls quickly.
After defeating a certain enemy, often a boss, the exit stairs are u
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Crypt of the NecroDancer: Nintendo Switch Edition for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
