Audition Online 10/20/2020

Almost all rhythmn games nowadays are based off of Dance Dance Revolution's gameplay. You have to press buttons in beat and get perfect combos. You'd be hard pressed to find a rhythm game that isn't just some variation of that formula. However, there are a surprising lack of online games that feature dancing. One of the few is Audition Online.

To install Audition Online, make sure you have Steam installed. Then, head on over to this link to install the game.

The character customization options are very thin. You have only a couple of options like skin color and clothing. After that you can join the servers. In the free server, you can customize your avatar, practice dancing to certain songs, buy additional clothing and accessories, join families and couples, and dance against other players.

This game focuses a lot more on the social aspect than on the actual gameplay. The dancing itself is simple - you need to use the arrow key or Numpad and the space bar. After inputting a certain combination using the arrow or Numpad, you have to press the spacebar at the fourth beat.

Leveling is slow, but levels don't really do anything other than show experience at playing the game. There is a story mode and tournaments that are level gated, but you're free to do whatever you want otherwise.

All in all, though, Audition Online is very much revolving around the social aspects more than the actual dancing. If that appeals, then give Audition Online a shot.
