15 itemsAbout the Game
Thousands of years ago, humanity built colossal war machines to stop the apocalypse. Now they just use them for dance battles!
Using your own music or the built-in soundtrack, groove your way across a rich world, assemble the perfect mecha crew, and rise from humble beginnings to ultimate stardom.
NEW: .osz & .osu support
In addition to the automatic music analysis, you can now manually define full charts or import existing charts designed for osu!, osu!mania, osu!taiko, etc.
NEW: Arcade Mode
Skip the story and dive directly into Steel Century Groove's fast-paced, strategic rhythm battles. Complete objectives, purchase upgrades, chase high scores, then challenge the ultra-difficult upper ranks of Endless Mode.
Additional Features:
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 its 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.
Streamer Mode On: Enable Streamer Mode and the game will play only exclusive, original music that won't trigger any copyright claims on YouTube, Twitch, etc.
