### 1/5 — crunchyroll sucks

*2026-07-09, version 1.0.7*

why do i have to pay for ur garbage anime service in order to play something that has zero connection or correlation with said anime service??!?!

### 1/5 — I paid for this game. Stop renting it back to me

*2026-05-21, version 1.0.7*

I bought original Crypt of the NecroDancer years ago as a premium game. I paid once and owned it.

Now it has effectively been replaced by a subscription-locked version. Asking existing customers to pay monthly for a game they already purchased is incredibly disappointing.

Meanwhile, on Steam, this game is still simple “buy once, own forever”.

The game itself is fantastic. Turning a paid title into subscription product for previous customers is a scam

### 1/5 — 레벨에디터에서 안나가져요

*2026-01-13*

아무리 뭘 눌러도 블록 설치만되고 아무런 버튼도 안눌리고 심지어 게임 나갔다와도 다시 레벨 에디터에 갇힘..ㅅㅂ

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 이거왜이래요진짜ㅜ! 레벨 에디터에서 겪고 계신 문제에 대해 알려주셔서 감사합니다. 블록 설치만 되고 버튼이 작동하지 않는 상황은 정말 불편하셨을 것 같아요. 😔 이 문제를 내부적으로 잘 전달하여 개선될 수 있도록 하겠습니다. 귀하의 소중한 피드백에 감사드리며, 앞으로 더 나은 경험을 제공할 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다! 💛

### 1/5 — Where's my game

*2025-11-22, version 1.0.7*

I paid for this game, and now can't play it without a paid subscription. How this is legal is baffling.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t play

*2025-11-19*

Game doesn’t work, just stuck at login screen. If I pay the 12 dollar a month subscription will it let me play the game? The text is not clear and it’s not worth risking it for more than most premium games cost to buy, per month.

**Developer response:** Hi darktod! 💛 I'm really sorry to hear that you're stuck at the login screen. I completely understand how frustrating that can be, especially when you're eager to dive into the game. Just to clarify, the game is part of the Game Vault collection, which is available to Mega and Ultimate Fan members. If you're new, there's a 7-day free trial you can take advantage of to see if it suits your gaming needs before committing. Your feedback is truly valuable, and I hope you find a solution that allows you to enjoy the game soon! If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to us at https://www.crunchyroll.com/crgameshelp. Happy gaming! 🎮✨

### 5/5 — Port incrivel

*2025-10-28*

O jogo nao e gratis, aparece logo de cara que e da crunchyroll, mas nao necessariamente quer dizer que ruim, tenho um enorme carinho por essa jogo e varias horas na steam

**Developer response:** Olá! É maravilhoso saber que você tem um carinho especial por este jogo! 💛 Apreciamos muito seu entusiasmo e sua dedicação ao longo de tantas horas jogando. Se precisar de qualquer ajuda ou tiver sugestões, estamos aqui para ouvir!

### 1/5 — Bought the game for 5€, now i have to subscribe to play it.

*2025-07-15*

I got robbed.

**Developer response:** Hi there! I can understand how disappointing it must be to find out about the subscription requirement after purchasing the game. It’s definitely frustrating when expectations don’t align with the experience. Just to clarify, the game is part of the Game Vault, which is available to Mega and Ultimate Fan members. We truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and your feedback is invaluable to us. We hope you can find joy in your gaming journey ahead! 💛

### 1/5 — Crazy price!

*2025-07-10*

Ask for 7.99 euros for a nearly free game on steam, how?

**Developer response:** Hi there! 💛 It's clear that the pricing has raised some questions for you, and I truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I understand how frustrating it can be when prices differ, especially for a game you might find elsewhere for less. Just to clarify, our game is part of the Game Vault, which is available to Mega and Ultimate Fan members. We aim to provide a unique experience that justifies the pricing, and your feedback helps us in that journey. Thank you for being part of our community, and I hope you continue to explore the game!

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-07-04, version 1.0.7*

I used to love playing this game, but now they’ve changed it to subscription only. I think I’ll stick to the copy I have on Steam.

### 1/5 — Lame can’t play

*2025-05-09*

This is horrible that you can’t ever try the game without subscribing first. DELETE

New features
