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!

  【Song of Death】Original Sound Tracks launched!

  This Original Soundtrack (OST) contains the complete score from "Song of Death." The soundtrack for "Song of Death" was passionately crafted by the 一罐盐 Studio, using music to illustrate Ma Chao and his companions' journey as they battle through challenges to avenge his father. The main menu theme captures the heaviness and stillness before embarking on a journey with no return. Three scene themes respectively portray the anxiety of setting off, the abandon in the heat of battle, and the despair of being trapped deep within enemy lines. Meanwhile, the bonus levels are linked to the previous game, "Song of Wuxia," allowing fans of the series to relive the emotions from those past battles. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43484691/d3d7a1edf93b266dd148378f1da42785985dda52.jpg
