10 itemsAbout the Game
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 neon city of perpetual night, build an online following, and discover the secrets hidden in an abandoned arcade.
This is a free standalone story set in the world of Steel Century Groove, and can be enjoyed entirely on its own. It features exclusive content not found in the full game: unique levels, new characters, and a fully separate narrative.
Additional Features:
Collect and upgrade: Level up your mechs, equip them with mods, and pair them with 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: Midnight 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.
