Brace Yourself Games invites you to join the new seasonal event happening in the rhythm-based roguelike game Crypt of the NecroDancer. Update v.3.2.0 adds the new Trick or Treat Versus Mode, but this requires you to have the SYNCHRONY DLC.
Anyway, the Trick or Treat Versus Mode is a limited-time game mode where enemies will not only drop gold as usual, but candy as well. Players who have the most candy across three rounds win. This mode is available until November 13.
Now, there are a few important things to keep in mind. First, players drop half of their held candy when they’re defeated. Second, bosses in this mode will drop a large candy bag when killed, so slaying them becomes a top priority whenever they appear. And lastly, having a lot of candies can ensure victory, but it doesn’t mean that they’re only meant for that purpose. In fact, players can use 10 pieces of candy to heal half a heart, which can be done at any time.
Aside from the new seasonal event, the Versus Mode in Crypt of the NecroDancer received several new features, including the new “Raveyard” Zone, Vanish Spell, Projection Spell, and a new lobby level.
