Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
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.
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.

mannn love the dancing LOL
love this game! tried the demo and got sucked in, great story and love making these mechas dance
Such a fun game!! Still progressing through the campaign and uploading my own songs to play in Arcade Mode. Never thought watching colorful gundams dancing to dubstep could be so fun.

I liked it, I can play music I like. is very fun.
By far the best execution of a "Rhythm game meets RPG" I've played! Each mech has unique mechanics and equipment, which gives a ton of options for different playstyles. But it's not just you out there, you have to worry about your enemy's moves too! I found the gameplay really interesting, switching from offense and defense depending on the situation and type of enemy, and weighing short-term and long-term value (especially for some mechs, there's one that's a deckbuilding minigame where you upgrade cards mid-battle!) The game's systems had a lot more depth than I expected, but the polish also added a ton to the enjoyment of the game. The goofy dance animations are super satisfying to watch, especially when you hit a long chain of notes or use a big flashy ability! I 100%ed the game at the time of writing this but still occasionally boot the game up just to mess around, the combat is genuinely just a lot of fun! I'm usually more focused on mechanics when I play games, but I definitely enjoyed the story of this game. It does a good job of feeding you bits of information through the game alluding to mysteries of the past that all come together at the end. The characters are endearing and the game has good area variety to keep exploration fresh. I can tell this game had so much love put into it and it really, really shows! If it sounds even remotely interesting you're able to get the free demo and then transfer your progress to the full game, you've got nothing to lose except missing out on a great adventure!
Good game with good story Gameplay: [10/10] I really like it! Reminds me of one of the Japanese arcade rhythm games! Music Map Generation: [9/10] Great! Songs that have a notable beat to it, the game can detect its bpm and offset pretty easily. I think its the only game that has such a good beat detection. Though it has issues with some songs, its still better than anything else I have encountered! And the even supports osu-files! Story: [8/10] Not predictable and good! The story is not intentionally clear at the beginning and unpacks itself during the gameplay. There are some issues regarding the importance and standing of the main villain. [spoiler] Alan doesn't feel like a main villain for me. Through the whole story, he is depicted as the inventor, like Elon Musk-y. But he feels so distant and just not present. Yes, you can fight against him because he is one of the Principal Pilot. But then he feels equal to the other Principal Pilots, losing his importance in the story. He doesn't actively prevent us to reach our goal. There are fights on the maps but they are more like side fights and don't contribute to the story at all. We fight meaningless fights to get to Alan and then thats it? He gives us our item, drops us off and flies away. Idk.[/spoiler] Overall: 9/10
Only ~2h in so far but WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BLAST!! Incredibly fun and not what I necessarily expected. Think Pokemon but with robot dance battles instead. Also seems to have interesting story and lore. Will update once I play more but can already recommend from what I played so far, it's super fun! Update after finishing the game: I never review a game before finishing it, but with this one, I enjoyed it so much so early on, that i felt compelled to leave a review already. And what can I say? It absolutely held up! This game is an absolute gem. It's weird, it's wild, it's whacky. But it's also full of heart and you can not help but love it. If the premise of giant robot dance battles sounds absurd to you, that's because it is! And the game knows this, it embraces it, but it also makes it part of the lore and story, which I found really compelling. I started this game expecting a fun rhythm game. I didn't expect to get an actual interesting story with world lore and characters I actually cared for by the end of the game. Needless to say, I loved every second of it. I think the whole aspect of your robots having very unique skillsets that you need to make use of as part of the rhythm game puts a really unique and very satisfying spin on the genre. The music is great through and through, found myself just jamming and vibing out to the songs during the battles! Also, as someone who absolutely sucks at rhythm games, I am grateful that I was able to experience this one without issue (played on normal). I would've liked to 100% it, but the difficulty jump from story mode to post-game challenge mode was a bit too much for me. Still, an absolutely stellar game in my opinion. If you're on the fence, there is a free demo on Steam. It will give you a very good idea if you'll like it or not. Give it a shot, it's free! And if it's your jam, you would've regretted not trying it, I can assure you :) Gonna try the free sequel Steel Century Groove: Midnight next! Keep up the great work and thank you for making a really fun game!
I'm Totally love this Rhythm Game Ever! If they could have new languages like Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or any other languages, some players will going to benefit this^^
