My roots are in video game music. It’s how I got into game development. It’s always been the majority of my music collection. (It’s also how I met my wife, but that’s another story.) So I’m really proud that the soundtrack for this game has connected with players and critics to the point where they make special mention of it in their reviews.
“Outside of the graphics, the music stands out. Way out. It’s not nearly as retro as the rest of the aesthetic, but it is excellent all-round. High-quality audio and catchy melodies reminiscent equally of Amiga SID tracker tunes and classic NES titles.”

“The soundtrack delivers even better than it did in the first one, sounding like the love-child of Castlevania and Chrono Trigger. Fans of the shopkeeper’s epic metal theme from the first game will not be disappointed.”
“… the music is fantastic.”

“As a metal fan, I about fell out of my chair when I heard the opening theme, which happens to be one of the coolest epic metal songs I’ve ever heard. All of the music in Soulcaster II is incredibly well crafted, and seems to always be level appropriate.”
