About This Game
Quick Overview
MetalQueens is a story-linked rhythm action game about five metal queens, each with their own route, music battles, and world style. You choose a queen, play through narrative chapters, and perform live-stage rhythm sections using three main actions: Tap, Hold, and Release. It released on March 19, 2026, developed and published by Muscle Industry.
What makes it different is the mix of metal music, anime-style heroines, and route-based progression. Each of the five characters has a 10-song route, with worlds including wasteland, cyberpunk neon city, gothic darkness, and steampunk industry. The game also includes EASY, NORMAL, and HARD difficulties, 26 Steam achievements, and unlockable content for replay value.
Who Should Play This Game?
Play MetalQueens if you enjoy rhythm games where timing, combos, and score chasing matter. It should be a good fit for players who like anime visuals, metal-inspired music, character routes, and games where you replay songs to improve ranks. The timing system uses JUST, EARLY, LATE, and MISS judgments, so it is more about clean rhythm execution than button-mashing.
Skip it if you want a pure action game, open-world exploration, multiplayer, or a big story RPG. Also note that Steam says it has no user reviews at the time checked, so it is still hard to judge long-term player reception. The developer also discloses AI-generated content use for images, videos, music, and code, which some players may want to know before buying.
Performance on PC
MetalQueens should be easy to run on most modern PCs. The Windows minimum specs list Windows 10 64-bit, Intel Core i3-6100 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200, 4 GB RAM, a DirectX 11 GPU with 1 GB VRAM, and 8 GB storage. It also supports macOS and SteamOS/Linux, with Linux notes mentioning Proton support.
For modern laptops and budget desktops, performance should be fine as long as the system supports DirectX 11 and has basic dedicated or decent integrated graphics. Since this is a rhythm game, stable frame timing matters more than high-end visuals, so lowering resolution or settings may help on weaker machines.
