The Drastik Measure \u2013 9.9 out of 10 (PC expansion)
\n<\/a>\u201cAmazing blend of rhythm and RPG mechanics, good strategical depth in RPG choices with regards to equipment\/skills, varied and impressive soundtrack\u2013generally no duds, appropriate song sequencing, vibrant and over-the-top visuals paired with quirky dancing animation, packed with the Puubas\u2019 unique brand of humour everywhere\u2013item descriptions, cutscenes, etc, various difficulty settings make it simultaneously newbie-friendly and catering to rhythm veterans, daily challenges and high score leaderboards add a LOT of replayability, wide support for controllers, guitar controllers, dance pads and HIGHLY polished.\u201d<\/p>\n

PlayStation Nation – 9.5 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cWhile playing Metronomicon I didn\u2019t want to put it down until my hands hurt, and sometimes persisted in spite of the fatigue. This is just a fantastically crafted game. The systems all work great together and the soundtrack contains more earworms than should be legally allowed in a game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sick Critic \u2013 9.5 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cPlaying this game was a magnificent treat, both for the hands and ears. Puuba has tried to mix and match all these different genres for a while now, and they\u2019ve finally hit every single note perfectly. The music was diverse, the gameplay was engaging and free-flowing, and it\u2019s one of the best games of the year. Just get it right now. An amazing audible experience that manages to keep its stride, to become a Game of The Year Contender, and the best rhythm-action game to come out in years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marooner\u2019s Rock \u2013 9.4 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cThe soundtrack is incredible, as before. There are multiple songs that will absolutely get stuck in your head. Addictive gameplay, killer soundtrack and adds improvements over an already great game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comics & Gaming Magazine \u2013 9 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cIf you\u2019re looking to unlock your inner D&D dance machine, look no further than The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor. If you\u2019re feeling really ambitious, you can whip out your Rockband 4 guitars. You know, really get immersed in the whole party style. Just be prepared for some humbling gameplay and to come away singing the songs for days on end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Desconsolados \u2013 9 out of 10 (Spanish)
\n<\/a>\u201cAs if it has not been noticed in the analysis, The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor has enchanted me. The musical selection is enormous, varied and of quality, while the mechanics are simply great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaming Trend \u2013 9 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cThe Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor is one of the most infectious rhythm games this year. Its perfect blend of music gameplay and RPG mechanics is an ambitious one that sticks the landing, and the addictive soundtrack will have your toe tapping long after you turned it off. Just stay away from the dancing bears if you\u2019re not shaking it like a Polaroid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honest Gaming Reviews \u2013 9 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cAny rhythm game is only as good as the soundtrack of it. This is where Metronomicon really shines. There are 50 tracks in total in the base game (more to come via DLC packs) and even after 7 days straight of playing the game, I still haven\u2019t become bored with the music. There hasn\u2019t been one single time where I\u2019ve thought \u2018Oh no , not this bloody song again\u2019. There are a few genres included, electronica, indie, synthwave and I love them all. In conclusion, Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor was an absolute joy to play and I had huge amounts of fun with it. It\u2019s a title that I will come back to again and again in pursuit of higher scores and maybe sometimes just to chill out and listen to the tunes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Life is Xbox \u2013 85 out of 100
\n<\/a>\u201cMetronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor is an addictive and really fun game that uses the best from the roleplaying and rhythm genre mix. It has a great list of songs, depth and unique gameplay, replay value and more! Great soundtrack, fun gameplay with depth, replay value and really fun local co-op.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaming Age \u2013 83 out of 100 (B+)
\n<\/a>\u201cThe Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor went from being a game that wasn\u2019t on my radar, to being one of the more engrossing blends of video game mechanics I\u2019ve played all year long. The stellar soundtrack combined with a solid base of RPG trappings makes for a really enjoyable time, and something that I doubt many developers could stick the landing on as well as Akupara Games and PUUBA have done here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Use A Potion \u2013 8.3 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cStill, no matter how enjoyable and on point its RPG elements might be, a rhythm game is nothing without a banging soundtrack to go with it. Thankfully, Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor has a great selection of tunes. Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor\u2019s blend of RPG action and rhythm based gameplay is something I could never have imagined working, but now that I\u2019ve actually played it I simply can\u2019t get enough. It mixes up the two genres in such a creative and imaginative way, in turn providing an experience that\u2019ll provide hours upon hours of zany, adventuring fun. Whether you\u2019re a fan of RPGs or a fan of busting some moves to a rhythm game, Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor is definitely worth checking out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comicbook.com \u2013 4 out of 5
\n<\/a>\u201cThe song selections are very good, with some not-so-typical tracks from talented artists. It successfully merges two great tastes together into one inventive experience that players won\u2019t get enough of. It\u2019s a good time with solid controls, abundant multiplayer options (and leaderboards) and a fun little presentation. When it comes to delivering an entertaining music experience, Metronomicon kills it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Common Sense Media \u2013 4 out of 5
\n<\/a>\u201cRhythm-based adventure that’s got a quirky beat. Matching character strengths to enemy weaknesses, trying out new skills and spells, and mixing up the party members is like tuning an instrument, and when it all comes together, it’s music to the player’s ears.\u201d<\/p>\n

GamesBeat (Venture Beat) – 80 out of 100
\n<\/a>\u201cThe Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor is a lot of fun if you\u2019re into rhythm games. I don\u2019t think any other game quite like it is out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

GameSpace \u2013 8 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cMetronomicon Slay the Dance Floor is a ton of fun and I hope to see more rhythm RPGs in the future. The soundtrack is also top notch and I often had various songs stuck in my head long after I stopped playing. For anyone who likes RPGs and Rhythm games, this is one you won\u2019t want to pass up.\u201d<\/p>\n

GameZone \u2013 8 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cI’m not sure what I was expecting when I first booted up Metronomicon, but what I got was a pleasant surprise. The soundtrack is comprised of a lot of indie artists, and it’s pretty great! If you’re a fan of rhythm games and want to add a little bit of RPG quirk to your correctly-timed button presses, then you can’t go wrong with Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saving Content \u2013 4 out of 5
\n<\/a>\u201cThe soundtrack itself has a lot of various songs from slower paced songs to fast beats of electronic or techno. It was easy to get into the music and just enjoy the beats. My 3 year old daughter watched me play and even had a blast just jumping around to the music. Some nice solid selections. The Metronomicon is a solid musical experience with a cool twist. It offers a story mode, challenge modes, and endless mode and is just a fun light-hearted rhythm game that can be fun for people of all ages. Highly recommended, and if the music genre is to a player\u2019s preference, then quest onward and tap to the beat!\u201d<\/p>\n

Windows Central – 4 out of 5
\n<\/a>\u201cA music game with RPG mechanics is something you don\u2019t see every day. Fighting monsters to electronic indie songs is quite enjoyable. Lots of modes to keep the party going, plus local co-op!\u201d<\/p>\n

4Players.de \u2013 7.5 out of 10 (German)
\n<\/a>\u201cThe mix of rhythm game and fantasy roleplaying works suprisingly well – mainly thanks to the fact that the basic mechanics don\u2019t stray too much from the Amplitude formula. So in the end it boils down to your musical tolerance. If you don\u2019t mind electronic and and a wide range of indie music, you\u2019ll get a lot of fun out of this one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Xbox Gamer Reviews \u2013 7.3 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cMetronomicon may not feature any of the big names in the music industry, but the songs themselves will certainly leave a lasting impression. The songs are catchy as hell. The Metronomicon has combined two opposing genres with positive effects. The role playing elements fused with rhythmic gameplay creates a fun adventure, with some wacky outlandish characters. The levelling system allows you to progress further. Finally the songs will stick in your head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bonus Stage \u2013 7 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cWith plenty of catchy tracks, a fantastic co-op mode and a brilliant coming together of two diametrically opposed genres, Puuba Games’ The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor delivers one of the more compelling rhythm games released for quite some time. Mechanically and conceptually it’s as good as anything out there. It’s quite unlike anything else out there, and with very few rhythm games on the market right now, The Metrnomicon: Slay the Dance Floor delivers a much welcome entry into an increasingly niche genre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Digitally Downloaded – 7 out of 10<\/a>
\n\u201cTaken exclusively as a rhythm game, there is so much to appreciate about Metronomicon. It does bring some new tricks to a genre that often feels quite stale for ideas, and has a truly killer soundtrack.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gamers Heroes \u2013 7 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cI can safely attest that it\u2019s quite different from the typical rhythm games we have come to expect. This game has sword-and-sorcery RPG elements, a fun story, good voice-acting, a fantastic soundtrack \u2013 which is a healthy mixture of electronic, pop, techno-pop \u2013 and quirky aesthetics. And if that wasn\u2019t enough, the gameplay is actually quite deeper than it appears.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Xbox Hub \u2013 7 out of 10
\n<\/a>\u201cDecent Indie artist selection, Guitar Hero Vibe, song variety, RPG elements blend well, replayability and plenty of game modes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Game Tyrant
\n<\/a>\u201cThe game is a lot of fun and easily addictive! From the moment I started playing it, I caught myself constantly promising “one more song,” but it was never just one more song! I thoroughly enjoyed this mix of genre! Truly an innovative title worth the hours of game play I can guarantee any music gamer will put in to it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hardcore Gamer
\n<\/a>\u201cThe Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor has grabbed me all over again, especially with well-designed PlayStation trophies that keeps the next one tantalizing close to unlocking. Anyone that enjoys a good rhythm game set to electronic music would be only hurting themselves if they don\u2019t open up The Metronomicon now.\u201d<\/p>\n
