About This Game

Thousands of years ago, humanity built colossal war machines to stop the apocalypse. Now they just use them for dance battles.Β 

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:Β 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:Β 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.
