Cavalcadence plays Reaper 1: Virtuosoul (Crypt of the NecroDancer: SYNCHRONY)
3Crypt of the NecroDancer (PC(W,M,L)/Steam)
SYNCHRONY DLC (Early Access) v3.4.0-b3655 (2022 Dec 19)
Cavalcadence plays Reaper 1: Virtuosoul (All Zones Mode: SYNCHRONY)
Achievement: Virtuosoul
Description: Complete "All Zones Mode" with solo Reaper
(quick note: Unfortunately, the devs forgot to activate the Reaper Achievement for 3.4.0, or something... so I wasn't able to unlock it on this run... but I did unlock it on my next Reaper win (3.4.1). ^^)
So, as I'm sure a lot of you know already, the v3.4.0 update added Reaper to the game! ^_^
Reaper was the Nintendo-Switch-exclusive NecroDancer character... but apparently the exclusivity period expired, or something, so... she's playable on Steam now too! =)
I'd actually never played Reaper (or seen any extended gameplay of her), but I had heard that she was a pretty easy character, compared to Cadence... and after starting an All Zones Mode run with her... I quickly saw why. ^.^
Unfortunately, my first run ended due to a couple of careless mistakes... the most significant of which was Transmogrifying Reaper's boots at a Transmog Shop, then immediately picking them up without looking to see what they were (they were Boots of Pain). ^^;;
My second run, however... went a lot better. =) I definitely still made some careless mistakes, and definitely was still figuring out some things about how Reaper's gameplay style works... but after a bit of a rough start, things started going a lot better... and by the time Reaper reached the final boss, she had a really nice build, with health, armor, damage, healing... and a small army of Souls. =)
So anyway, here it is... my first ever Reaper win! Hope you enjoy!
