Leicester, UK – March 30, 2016 – Kasedo Games and Puuba are proud to announce the exciting new rhythm-based RPG The Metronomicon. This exhilarating fusion of two beloved genres combines the strategy and story-led gameplay of an RPG with the fast paced button tapping action of a rhythm game – all presented with a superb soundtrack featuring an eclectic mix of artists.
Packing in a fully-fledged story mode with a colorful cast of musically-empowered heroes and villains, The Metronomicon sees you take control a party of eight newly graduated masters of the “rhythmic combat arts” to wage musical warfare against a multitude of dance-mongering fiends. By switching between four concurrent hero-controlled tracks on-the-fly, you’ll select and activate a wide array of abilities, spells, buffs and nukes with your button timing and rhythmic prowess critical for ensuring the effectiveness of your moves. In true RPG spirit, you’ll need to journey through a variety of worlds to improve your characters’ stats, hunt down powerful equipment, and earn new skills.
The Metronomicon features a fantastic, fully-licensed soundtrack featuring some of the hottest electronic, synthwave, chiptune and indie artists, including an exclusive track from Jimmy Urine of Mindless Self Indulgence, and an unreleased track from Shiny Toy Guns, along with tracks from YACHT, Perturbator, J-Punch, DJ CUTMAN, and many, many more. As much a soundscape as it is a soundtrack, the music behind The Metronomicon is set to be every bit as varied and exciting as the gameplay itself.
The Metronomicon will appear for the first time at PAX East 2016 from April 22-24 in Boston, MA. Registered PAX media can book appointments to meet with Puuba and go hands-on with title by contacting us here.
For all PAX East attendees, The Metronomicom will be located in the main hall in Booth #11221 and there will be daily contests for high scores and more with special giveaways, pins, and prizes! The game is slated for a 2016 release on Windows and Mac via Steam. For more information, please visit the Kasedo Games website here.
