Dance your demons away.

UPDATE: The holidays are just around the corner, so let's turn it dancing, shall we? The free <span class="bold">Deck the Dubstep</span> DLC is a single-song pack with a track by Andross and some festive secrets hidden inside. Come on, everyone, time to shake our belly like a bowl full of jelly!

<span class="bold">The Metronomicon</span>, a rhythm-based RPG where you and your party dungeon-crawl in sync, is available now for Windows and Mac, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Disco is not dead, it just dwells in the strangest of places. Like inside neon-bathed dungeons, full of musically-empowered monsters described in the mysterious Metronomicon. Eight unlikely heroes will venture there, ready to deliver tone-death, grab as much loot as they can carry, and then awkwardly dance away to the next level. Apart from synchronizing their moves to the amazing, fully-licenced soundtrack, they can draw from a vast selection of devastating spells, buffs, and items in order to heal their teammates or nuke the rhythm-mongering creatures that stand in their way. Fix yourself an eccentric hairdo and get your groove going, because when dancing is a matter of life and death, stage fright is not an option.

Become the rockstar of a dungeon full of arrhythmic monsters waiting to out-dance you, in <span class="bold">The Metronomicon</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Winds of change, be damned!

I'll think about it, though.
Right so I was wondering, in these types of games you sometimes have to hit both the up and down or left and right keys at the same time.
How would one Do this on a controller, I just couldn't manage it when trying the game at Gamescom. O_o
How stoned were the devs that they came up with a platform shooter which requires you to dance away the bad guys?
looking good, thanks ;)
Steam is currently a little cheaper plus they get both a soundtrack and art book :(

Weird. O_o
It really is cheaper.
The inclusion of that stuff is probably due to it being a preorder but still...
I have no rhythm so not for me.

Yup, 20% off for the next few hours - kinda sucks
Awww, no character customization. :(
Well, the customization part is not that important,
but before buying the game I'd like to listen to a couple tracks of the OST, since the music is a core 'mechanic' I'd like to know if it's any good.

Edit: No pre-order bonuses included (Steam users get a couple music tracks and the art book), bummer!

a previous similar game would use up, down, left, right on the d-pad/stick, as well as the top, bottom, left, right buttons on the right. Specifically for simultaneous presses.

edit for buttons: A, B, X, Y on the xbox.

Damnit, I've not even gotten around to Crypt of the NecroDancer yet in my backlog. How many rhythm RPGs can I justifiable add to that?

Ah, gotcha.
Can't believe I didn't think of that.

I've played Crypt of the Necrodancer for an hour or so.
I've spent 10 times that listening to the OST, I even have a t-shirt. xD
