The NecroDancer's back in an all-new rhythm game!

Dragged into a strange new world, Cadence must engage in musical combat with monsters pouring through the Rift! Each monster has unique behaviors—like bats that shift lanes when attacked—and tougher foes take multiple hits to dispatch. Learn the pattern of each new fretful fiend to keep the music flowing!

SHOW STOPPING MUSIC
Brand new soundtrack with 30+ Rhythm Rift tracks by Danny Baranowsky, Jules Conroy, Alex Moukala, Josie Brechner, Sam Webster, and Nick Nausbaum with more on the way!

DIFFICULTY THAT SCALES WITH YOU
Four intensity levels for each Rhythm Rift - EASY, MEDIUM, HARD, and IMPOSSIBLE.

RACE TO THE TOP
Climb your way to the top of global leaderboards!

MODIFIED MAYHEM
Push your limits with gameplay-altering modifiers.

ENDLESS REPLAYABILITY
Once you’ve conquered our hand-crafted levels, challenge your sight-reading with REMIX MODE.
- Remix Mode throws a fresh beatmap your way every playthrough while retaining the original level's rhythmic design.
- Remix mode also makes DAILY CHALLENGES possible, by changing up the circumstances for each song. Play the same random seed as every other player that day and see how you rank on global leaderboards!

BOSS BATTLES
Go head to head against five fearsome foes in rhythm-based boss battles!

MINIGAMES
Immerse yourself in Cadence and friends’ modern misadventures through five quirky, slice-of-life rhythm minigames. Take a boppin' yoga class, help a friend with a part-time job, and more!
