Rift of the Necrodancer! I got a free key from @braceyourselfgames.com and have been playing it regularly since. It has an incredible OST, and mind-bending note patterns, I'm never going to complete everything. Shoutouts to them for continuing to add free content alongside their paid DLC.

Since #PhantomBrigade 2.0 released I have been playing it again and it's a blast! All the gripes I had with the original version are gone and it finally is the game I wanted it to be when it launched. Good job @braceyourselfgames.com for supporting it so long after release!
December 5, 2025 at 10:21 PM
Why did we make 2.0? To give our players the game we’ve always wanted them to have!

Thank you to everyone who’s been playing Phantom Brigade 2.0 and taking the time to leave reviews, comments, and feedback ❤️‍🔥
