The Metronomicon Review

When you think of rhythm games, you don’t usually think of RPGs. If you did, maybe the rhythm action genre would be in ruder health than it currently is. With The Metronomicon, L.A.-based indie studio Puuba is looking to try something new, bringing the fast action of the music experience together with the more careful and considered approach of an RPG.

The way the game is played is probably the best place to start when considering The Metronomicon, given that it’s a genuinely new concept. On the left of the screen, your four-character party stands below four individual music tracks. Arrows come down the tracks and in traditional rhythm game style, you need to press enough indicated inputs at the right time in order to trigger an attack. Once this is done, a cooldown period comes into play for that specific character so that you can’t just spam the same attack over and over. At this point, you can tap a button to switch to one of your other characters, picking up the beat and performing one of their actions in the same way.

Score: 4/5 - Great

The task of combining rhythm action and RPG gameplay styles is not one that many developers would have been able to pull off as well as Puuba have with The Metronomicon. As well as a stack of great jams and entertaining gameplay, there’s plenty of polish and enough depth here to keep you stepping back to the dance floor.
