Steel Century Groove

Thousands of years ago, humanity built colossal war machines to stop the apocalypse. Now they just use them for dance battles. Groove your way across a rich world, assemble the perfect mecha crew, and rise from humble beginnings to ultimate stardom. Form new friendships (and rivalries) and turn your mecha from scrap metal to a platinum superstar as you upgrade its mods and abilities, adjusting your playstyle, with RPG-like elements. Dance battles are set to a banging (copyright-friendly) soundtrack packed with original music, or you can upload tracks to create your own zero-to-hero playlist.

  • Collect and Upgrade: Level up your mechs, equip them with mods, and pair them with different combinations of backup dancers.
  • Unique Gameplay Kits: Each mech has their own set of abilities, mechanics, and resources. A simple starter mech builds and spends energy, while later mechs have you maintaining an army of drones or swapping between cards in a mini deck builder.
  • Flexible Rhythm Combat: Steel Century Groove doesn't demand a specific button press for each note. Instead, pick from your mech's kit of battle abilities.
  • No Playing the Metronome: Challenge yourself against interesting melodies, even when playing with your own music. You'll never just be endlessly tapping out the beat.
  • No Accessories Required: Built from the start for gamepad or mouse & keyboard.
