Crypt of the NecroDancer

Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

DLCs

Which DLCs to include content from in progression and checks. Options include: Amplified, Synchrony, Miku, Shovel Knight Note: Excluding the Synchrony DLC does not mean that you can play this APWorld without the Synchrony DLC. This is only to exclude content from the Synchrony DLC in the multiworld. Note: Excluding the Amplified DLC will remove Zone 5 from progression altogether.

DeathLink Type

How receiving a DeathLink should impact gameplay. Default is Tempo. Absolute: When receiving a DeathLink mid-run, you immediately die. Tempo: When receiving a DeathLink mid-run, a death timer will tick down the next 24 turns. If you can complete the level, the timer is removed and you avoid death. Having an active death timer will always treat a new DeathLink as an immediate death. Marv: Amplified Required: When receiving a DeathLink, receive a Marv follower. Multiple DeathLinks will add more Marvs. If any Marv is killed, you lose 20% of your max health every turn. If you can complete the level, all Marvs are removed and you avoid death. Note: The Marv setting requires Amplified, and will be swapped out for Tempo if chosen without Amplified. Any effects that trigger on-death will occur, including health potions.
