The day has come, and our free expansion is here! So much new stuff to play and do, let's get right to the things!
Local Multiplayer support has been added across all game modes! Story, Freeplay, Sidequests, Arena, Endless, and more..! Every challenge and song has been rebalanced to support two players and has its own separate multiplayer leaderboard. Some abilities may work slightly different in two-player, and, from what we've seen, different parties thrive!
A Competitive Mode has been combined into co-op in two-player Freeplay Mode! Compete for lanes to get most kills, most crits, cures, etc to jocky for MVP trophies. Track your records to school your friends.
Endless Mode is now available! Unlocked by beating the Story Mode boss, battle against an unlimited playlist of songs as the enemies' levels slowly increase, and a variety of mods get stacked against you. Use and swap through your entire team and all their skills to combat hero knockouts, equipment breaks, and even skill lockouts. Gain and spend Battle Points to empower your current run, or save them up to unlock permanent cross-mode rewards. The faster you go, and the more mods that are applied, the more points you'll get. However! Fail to defeat a song's boss before it ends, and your run is over. Stack more mods early, while the enemies are weaker, to build up battle points. Or! Run, afraid, from modifiers, to get as deep as you can! Two leaderboards exist!
A new (secret!) hero has been added to the game. Equipped with some totally unique attacks and buffs, he's capable of filling a number of party roles. A Hint to Unlock: Are there new sidequests around..?
New Hero and Global Passive Abilities have been added, unlockable through Endless Mode. Usable in both Story and Endless Modes, we've seen these totally change the best-party meta!
The Scoring System is now changed! Enemy kills are now worth points according to the enemy's Max HP. So, the more aggressive you are, the higher your score can go! Bring that RPG strategy to bear! Just don't die!
A new cheat code has been added! Ten-song seeded speed runs! Enter a seed to play a different repeatable playlist each time. Perfect for another.... WEINER Tournament format..?
Along with some balance updates, minor fixes, and preparatory updates for some Large pending feature additions, this new build adds full Text-Only game support for two new languages:
This patch adds support for a few new features:
Users can now access a song editor and choreograph their own notes to their own music (whatever music they have on their computers).
They can create their own dance tracks, on three difficulties, and compete in new songs, of their choice against the oncoming monsters.
Users can now import existing custom song choreography for the most popular StepMania steptrack formats.
SM, .SSC, and .DWI files now work within the game. This opens the door to using massive numbers of pre-existing songs, created for other music games, into play in The Metronomicon.
There is one new dungeon region within Story Mode where players can play their UGC and DLC tracks with the parties they’ve created in Story Mode.
