Steel Century Groove

Bought this for the rhythm game -- didn't expect to love the story and characters as well. Awesome game all around!

Do *YOU* dig GIANT ROBOTS? (don't answer that, we all know the answer is YES) Do *YOU* wanna serve on fools who ALSO HAVE GIANT ROBOTS? Do *YOU* know what a rythym game is? Do *YOU* want something that you can use your own music with, provided you have some on your PC? Do *YOU* want a quirkier game with that silly Indie spirit? If you answered "YES" to the other questions I asked; Lads, Lasses, and Lovers of GIANT ROBOTS, I have a game for you

This game got on my radar from some TikTok clips a while back and I finally got around to playing it. It lives up to that hype it got at the time. Just a shame it looks like it didn't do well commercially. The rhythm portion of the game is super fun. It can have some challenge if you want, but it's pretty straight forward for the average player. Being able to use custom music throughout the story is a great feature as well, even though the default music in the game is solid as well. The story is what really caught me off guard. I played the demo, and enjoyed what I saw of the story but it really takes off beyond what you can see there, and it isn't your standard hero/monster adventure story. Definitely recommend.

Let me start by saying this game is AMAZING! Down to the story, the detail in the Tenzerks, the environment, the story, the character customization, and the way the game plays itself; everything is perfect. I truly believe this game is the best game I have played this year, and dare I say even the last few years. I absolutely ADORE the characters and the story that unfolds as you explore the map. I love seeing what all of the NPCs have to say when you interact with them. The music in the game is also fantastic, and the fact you have the ability to add your own custom songs to it too just further adds to the game. I've played two full playthroughs of the game already, all the way through, and I've been working through my third one now as well. It is so fun to replay, and with the randomness of what songs are chosen for the battles makes it easy to keep playing through it over and over again. Though I may be biased simply because I adore the game as much as I do, I have greatly enjoyed going through the story two times already and further absorbing the information provided, and even noticing little things I hadn't before gaining the knowledge I have currently. I STRONGLY recommend this game if you like RPGs, rhythm games, fun and silly characters, and a deep story beneath the seemingly silly appearance. I love and adore this game, and I will be playing through it many more times as well as aiming to 100% it. PLEASE give this game a try!!

cool game, idk if i got an actuall ending or if your supposed to do something after the credits but the ending i got felt really unsatisfying. scg midnight (the free prequel to this game) had a better ending. in this game they litterally killed off half the characters in one of the final sections for NO REASON. the end just felt rushed. if anyone knows what to do after the credits finish and your dumped back into the neon city place please tell me

[/quote] [b]Video Review[/b] https://youtu.be/x5j6wr0f_dE [h2]Insanely Fun And Silly But...[/h2] This is Pokémon as a rhythm game, with ridiculously well-orchestrated dance choreography mechs and a diverse soundtrack full of licensed bangers. While repetitive, in dance moves, it's got a lot of diversity and each replay of the same song has a different pattern!? That's neat. But I did have reservations, mostly because there is a lot going on at once. You have bottom-left, bottom-right, and center prompts, powers, counters, combo effects, very hard difficulty settings, tricky mech handling, and more to keep track of. It can ruin the vibe when you fail due to a lockout, especially while piloting the drone mech which is high difficulty. Heading into new towns has you fighting each First Pilot (gym leader) on your way to becoming the very best. [h2]Conclusion[/h2] If rhythm games are your thing, this is an alright recommendation. If you like mecha, it is even better, with the basic modifications and suits. The fusion of choreography-driven combat and licensed tracks gives every match a sense of spectacle that most rhythm titles never reach. It can feel busy at times and the learning curve is not very present, but if it does click with you, it all becomes part of the charm. Unfortunately after just a few hours I couldn't stomache it anymore, too many random fights, all doing the same thing. It's cute in it's own little way, lot of passion behind the project, but I just had this pit in my stomache where joy and silliness used to reside and had to put it down.

If you like DEI slop this is the game for you.
