So this is out early for backers ahead of it's Jan 5th normal release date.
I've played through the Campaign on "intermediate" (normal) and had a good time with it, though the controls took some getting used to (there are several control schemes, but no full button re-mapping). Since I was mostly 100% stuff on normal, I bumped it up one (advanced) and it definitely got WAY harder, though in some ways that feel kind of cheap. My biggest issue is that when switching between lanes, you'll sometimes end up in a position where you immediately need to hit a note but have no idea which one. The way the track bends will often obscure the other lanes so you can't see a) if they even HAVE notes to hit and b) which notes they are. I think this is by design, but it seems like kind of crappy thing.
The soundtrack is cool though. The Crypt of the Necrodancer track (w/ shopkeeper) is super rad. I'll answer any questions I'm able to.
Edit: I guess it might also be worth noting I never played the original.
