The cadence of Hyrule is a rhythm-based roguelike game, and it has everything you'd expect from both genres.

However, since Cadence of Hyrule is more of a Crypt of the Necrodancer meets Zelda than the other way around, you should know what to expect. And if you got to play Crypt of the Necrodancer then you know that it's a rhythm-based game that's nothing like any Zelda game ever made.

The Necrodancer has a number of spoken lines in English, which he says at specific points.

Ĭadence admits that Octavo reminds her of The NecroDancer, who he later became. After traveling to the Future World with the intention of fighting Ganon only to find the tarnished world his future self created, Octavo resolves to stop his evil plans. He resides in the Future World where he prepares to rule over Kingdom of Hyrule. The NecroDancer is the future version of Octavo who defeated Ganondorf before he could ascend to power.
