Can't help but feel like this is a step back for Brace Yourself on their music games. Loved the first NecroDancer and Cadence of Hyrule. Tried the demo, but this one just wasn't for me. Maybe I need a gimmick for these kinds of games--for Dance Dance Revolution it was the dance pad, Rez had the vibrator and the visuals, Frequency and Amplitude exposed me to new music genres, etc.

Elite Beat Agents and Theatrhythm both did well in the games that were just press-the-right-button, so I know there's an audience for this. I'm just not in it, I guess.

I was excited when I saw Necrodancer, but honestly this just looks like a rather conventional rhythm game. Would love a Necrodancer 2 though.
