Is it still worth playing?

Link or Princess Zelda move and attack in time to the music, in this 2019 roguelike rhythm game crossing Crypt of the NecroDancer with Zelda. Movement has to match the beat whenever enemies are around, and missing it carries no health penalty but briefly stops you. The overworld is built from regions tied to Zelda lore, such as Hyrule Castle and Death Mountain, and their layout is generated for each save file, while dungeons are randomized every time you visit. Octavo, a musician, has put the Princess's father to sleep, and you have to defeat four champions to break a seal. Zelda uses Din's Fire and Nayru's Love, and Link carries a shield that deflects projectiles. Zelda themes are remixed to the beat. A Fixed Beat mode removes the rhythm, and co-op is supported. Rhythm still turns every fight into a small dance.
