Steel Century Groove: Midnight is a free-to-play rhythm / role-playing video game developed and published by Sloth Gloss Games.

About

Pilot mecha in rhythm RPG dance battles in this free standalone adventure from the world of Steel Century Groove. Dance your way through the neon streets of a city where it’s always night, challenge rival pilots to burnish your digital reputation, and then delve below the skyscrapers into the ancient ruins of a more dangerous era.

Steel Century Groove started full-time development in 2021 as a solo project. Building Midnight as a spin-off provided an opportunity to tell a new story and introduce the world to players from a different angle. The full game will release later in 2025.

Key Features

• Compete in dance battles that leave behind a trail of destruction.

• Each mech has a unique set of abilities with their own mechanics and resources. Start out with the Voltace, a lightning mech that builds and spends energy.
• Complete quests around the city to unlock advanced mechs, such as the Aedonix, which activates extra notes your opponent can’t hit, or the Sentilon, which summons an army of drones.
