The Metronomicon (also released as The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor) is a rhythm-RPG hybrid developed by Puuba and published by Akupara Games. In this quirky and energetic title, players assemble a party of musically-empowered heroes and battle monsters by timing inputs to the beat of a dynamic soundtrack. Each character represents a different combat role — from damage dealers to healers and buffers — and players must switch between them in real time to cast abilities, buff allies, and counter enemy attacks.
The unique combat system blends traditional RPG progression with rhythm gameplay that’s reminiscent of dance games, encouraging players to “slay” enemies by hitting notes on cue. The game’s story takes you through a series of festive and bizarre locations where dancing fiends threaten the world, and it features an eclectic mix of electronic, synthwave, and indie music. With replayable modes including Freeplay and side quests, plus local co-op support added in later updates, The Metronomicon offers a fresh fusion of genres that appeals to fans of both RPGs and rhythm games.
