Evaluation

Songs of Death launched on July 30, 2024, and DreamStep actively supported it with post-launch updates through November 2024. The first major update (v1.1, September 10, 2024) added a new character, a new level, four new bosses, and revamped accessories. A second major update (v1.2.3, November 18, 2024) introduced Awakened Characters with new passive talents, Endless Mode, and the Accessory Disabling Feature. Between those two milestones, the developer maintained a cadence of regular bug-fix patches and an announcement in September 2024 confirming Endless Mode was in development — which was subsequently delivered in the November update. Since November 18, 2024, there have been no further developer posts, roadmaps, announcements of upcoming content, or unreleased DLC on the store. The only DLC — the game's soundtrack — shipped on September 10, 2024. The September 2024 news post mentioned "endless mode" and "more new accessories" as ideas for future versions, but those were delivered in the November 18, 2024 update, which appears to have fulfilled those stated plans. No post-November communication has re-confirmed any additional content pipeline. The established update cadence (two major content drops roughly 2.5 months apart, followed by silence extending to June 2026 — over six months beyond the final update) indicates development has concluded. The game launched as a complete product, received two meaningful content expansions in the months following launch, and has been quiet since November 18, 2024, with no outstanding announced commitments remaining unfulfilled.

About this game




This is a roguelike rhythm action game that requires you to block and counter (accurate block) enemy attacks at the right moment.




This is a fictional world based on characters from the Three Kingdoms. Here, there are not only martial skills, but also spiritual energy and technologies that led to the invention of spells and firearms. You will play as Ma Chao, master of a variety of attacks and tools, and break enemy defenses with the help of friends to exact revenge on Cao Cao for slaughtering your family.




EXP will be gained from kills for you to level up, unlocking new weapons. Each of the weapons has a unique attack pattern and works best against specific targets. They also have Synergy tags, and activating the same tags grants characters special effects. When you have extra copies of the same weapon, the weapon will be starred up activating its Synergy effects without having to equip the weapon. It is up to you to manage resources for greater combat prowess.




It was back when PlayStation 3 was still the latest console, I got obsessed with Drakengard 3. It was the last boss battle, and the rhythm game played to The Final Song by Eir Aoi scarred me permanently and I remembered it to this day. So it began my journey to make a good yet depressing game like Yoko Taro did. Based on this idea, I took elements of Vampire Survivors and Taiko no Tatsujin and added some roguelike and auto battler features to complete this game. As a small segment of the Songs series, the story is relatively independent of the other games, so don't worry if you haven't played the other works in the series. If you are interested in the story, you will need to use different characters to clear the required difficulty levels and stages to unlock each character's story chapters and get a glimpse into the whole story. Hope you all have fun playing!
