Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Crypt of the Necrodancer
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The image will be used to illustrate the gameplay and art style of the game. To be exact it will be used to explain specific gameplay mechanics (how fighting works in accordance with the rhythm of the music and what visual indicators are available) and clearly define the art style.

While the general gameplay may be understood without the image, the specifics (rhythm indicator around the hero and the bottom of the screen, typical enemy behaviour) can not be explained without knowing how the game looks. The art style is described as video games around 1993 - while this is true, it is not sufficient to define the art style.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) One picture to explain the gameplay is necessary.

The game will be used only in this article (it does not make sense anywhere else). Cutting pieces off to reduce the size would not mirror the (relatively) unusual 960x640 format that apple is occasionally using for their devices. The interface would be cut off. I reduced the resolution to 33% of the original (960x640 -> 320x213 pixels). I believe that further reducing the size will make it impossible to discern the necessary details.
