Game Debate #169: Cadence of Hyrule

This may be the first Zelda game that I've never heard of and I know the Zelda CD-i games exist.

this is a necrodancer spinoff, right? I tried necrodancer once but didn't like it, just not what I i look for. I like rhythm games and I like dungeon games, but I don't want them together. No opinion on this one because I've never played nor seen it.

I love the idea, the concept is awesome, and watching the trailer gets me hyped.

But I suck at rhythm games enough that I can't wrap my head around doing both things at once and couldn't get very far at all when I played it.

This one has an overworld and traditional progression to make it more Zelda-y

interesting. I don't know if it would change my opinion, but that does sound zelda-y, so it ought to be a plus

I had this, and other than looking and sounding like a Zelda game I liked nothing about it, sold it.  I tried repeatedly to like it, but the whole core mechanic of the game was a total miss for me.  If you can't handle demanding rhythm games run away, run far far away, because the timing will take you down.

I had no idea this even existed.  

[Sumez | 2,951]

I was expecting "Never played it, but you're interested" to dominate for this one, but pretty surprised about how many people just didn't even hear of it.  

But then again, this is the forum where one of the year's biggest releases has only a single post in its thread

I’ve been meaning to play this but haven’t gotten around to it. I enjoyed crypt of the necrodancer so I’ll probably like the Zelda spinoff.

Most people here haven’t moved past the SNES

I want to do debates for Returnal, Control, and Astral Chain, and I expect they'll all flop hard.

[Sumez | 2,951]

They will

Yeah I wouldn’t bother haha.

Necrodancer is still sitting unplayed in my GOG library. I fully intend to play it but I just don't know when I'll make the time. And I've told myself I'm not going to bother with Cadence until Necrodancer is done, if at all.

Rhythm games aren't really my thing but the idea of these titles is so charming that I couldn't ignore it. Probably not something I'll play beyond a single completion but something I feel like I should experience even just once.

wtf game is that  

[Link | 2,710]

I got it right away. It looks like a lot of fun and I had to have it. A higher price point would have put me off though.

I haven't played this or most Switch games I have just because my TV isn't big enough for most of the text. Upgrade might be coming soon.

Music has always been a big deal with the LoZ series, from the beginning but especially from OoT onward. This seems like a great way to embrace and expand that facet of it. Mario gets 700 different ways to expand in different kinds of games; it's good for Link to have more opportunities too. Although I'd rather have more good mainline series entries tbqh

I have this and Necrodancer.  I haven't played Cadence because I started with Necrodancer first, but have been looking forward to trying it.  Love me some 2D Zelda, even if it may be different with the rhythm stuff!
