'The Metronomicon' Playable With Existing Peripheral Controllers & Dance Mats - Trailer

by Rainier on July 11, 2016 @ 7:51 a.m. PDT

The Metronomicon combines the strategy and story-led gameplay of an RPG with the fast-paced, button-tapping action of a rhythm game – all presented with a soundtrack featuring an eclectic mix of artists.

Packing in a fully-fledged story mode with a colourful cast of musically-empowered heroes and villains, The Metronomicon sees you take control a party of eight newly graduated masters of the “rhythmic combat arts” to wage musical warfare against a multitude of dance-mongering fiends. By switching between four concurrent hero-controlled tracks on-the-fly, you’ll select and activate a wide array of abilities, spells, buffs and nukes, with your performance and timing all-important in ensuring the effectiveness of your moves. In true RPG spirit, you’ll need to improve your characters’ stats, hunt down powerful equipment, and combine a multitude of abilities – switching between tanking, healing, buffing, and damage-dealing classes as required, in real time.

The Metronomicon features a fantastic, fully-licensed soundtrack featuring some of the hottest electronic, synthwave, chiptune and indie artists, including an exclusive track from Jimmy Urine of Mindless Self Indulgence, and an unreleased track from Shiny Toy Guns, along with tracks from YACHT, Perturbator, J-Punch, DJ CUTMAN, and many, many more. As much a soundscape as it is a soundtrack, the music behind The Metronomicon is set to be every bit as varied and exciting as the gameplay itself.

While the game can still be played with a standard gamepad or keyboard, players will now be able to use their favourite existing peripheral music game controllers to make The Metronomicon the most immersive rhythm RPG experience to date. 

Fans of the game will also have the chance to purchase a limited edition ‘The Metronomicon’ branded dance pad to partner the game. The responsive and sturdy pads are custom built by US company Precision Dance Pads, and are specially adapted to compliment the gameplay of The Metronomicon as you take the fight to a multitude of dance-mongering fiends.
