"Shovel Knight, the titular star of the smash hit 2014 indie game, comes to both NecroDancer games in a pair of October 30 updates. For Rift, the update brings six new songs from Shovel Knight to play through. In Crypt, Shovel Knight will appear as a playable character, complete with new music and a set of custom mechanics to set him apart from the rest of the game's roster."
"Brace Yourself Games Released earlier in 2025, Rift of the NecroDancer trades its predecessor's roguelike dungeon crawling for more traditional rhythm mechanics. It builds on the tried-and-true fundamentals of the genre established by games like Dance Dance Revolution, replacing the notes that typically fall down the screen with a host of enemies that require different patterns of rhythmic taps to defeat."
"As with previous Crypt of the NecroDancer DLC packs, its Shovel Knight update adds a new character. Both Crypt and its Legend of Zelda spinoff, Cadence of Hyrule, blend traditional roguelike dungeon crawlers with rhythm games, making every enemy move to the beat and increasing the damage you do if you also do so in time with the stage's music. The Shovel Knight DLC adds 15 tracks you'll hear as you explore the dungeon, pulled from the game's origina"
Shovel Knight is being added to both Crypt of the NecroDancer and Rift of the NecroDancer via October 30 updates.
