10/10

great OST! i recommend it

I enjoyed it. Yeah, I did. Is good.

I'm a Chinese guy, I have only a few interest in Kongfu or Wushu, but I love this OST. PERFECT.

The soundtrack is great and all, but I wish they'd let you download it separately from the game.

Great soundtrack with a variety of different musical styles, with both dynamic and ambient music. I'd say it is definitely worth the full price, and on a sale you are making a mistake not buying it!

This soundtrack gives out so much atmosphere and is simply a pleasure to listen to. A very nice compilation of all the songs from the game with added endings to them. I would recommend this if you wish to support the developers and if you really like the OST.

Let's put it simply: The music in this soundtrack-collection is "all over the place" that's related to sword-fighting; in fact I'd call it "frantic" in a very refressing way! Also, this download also includes a lore-.txt-file, which also includes some nice background-info about this soundtrack in general; a really nice extra. Man, this just gives me some really good Playstation 1-era-vibes!

I like this album a lot. It takes on a very bold approach given the subject matter is "sword fighting," in a historically general sense. This means in some way this album is blasphemous, and completely throws out the idea of "cultural appropriation." It's a testament to what an artist can do when given the freedom to do what they want. It's awesome. [h1] The Tracks [/h1] 1. Swords of the North - Now this song starts off very traditional, sounding like a Northern Eurasian folk song, you'd think maybe they throw in some throat singing. Instead, it breaks into a Jazzy primarily piano-playing song with a sick beat and some sort of plucked or struck string instrument. It sounds like they want you to think of a Biwa, but it sounds more like a Bağlama. I could be mishearing it, but it's a super nice mix. However, for all those not digging the music mixture will hate the 3rd segment of this song, as it begins to have tonal notes found similarly in folk music from Spain. 2. Wushu Tactics - With the headspin provided from the previous song, this one follows a specific soundfont. It begins with sounds provided by what I presume to be the Nohkan (wind instrument), Bangu (percussion), and maybe a Đàn nguyệt (plucked string instrument). I recognize what I'm saying would be blasphemous to some people, but I'm genuinely not super surprised based on the previous song. However, I will say this stays in line for the most part not deviating into completely different parts of the world. This mostly stays within the territories of recognizable "Asia." And I mean that too its fullest, because I believe I recognize the distinct singing technique in the background as coming from some sort of Bengali folk background. 3. Sakura Danger - This isn't too crazy, unlike the previous 2 songs, it follows the theme going on so far, playing off some Asian and Spanish influences with a piano. Honestly, comparatively this is kind of less "knock you on your ass," than the previous songs, kinda just mid (comparatively). 4. Friends and Enemies - This one goes back to sounding like it is intentionally breaking musical taboos which I like. It features prominently a violin, and is a very "Non-Combat" oriented song, yet with all the tropes this game features, it's no surprise that one could say it follows the soundtrack reminiscent of a typical wushu/sword fighting movie or anime series. 5. Asphalt Dojo - I genuinely think this song isn't just mid, but bad. It follows a big band style of overtly cacophonous sound. Which, I have no complaints with, it just follows said emphasis only during one part of the song, and the rest is simply too minimalistic for how strong the album came on. It feels somewhat of an unrelated song simply for a different kind of environment. 6. Sir, I challenge you to a duel. - We return to form in this song, playing off what switching up between traditional instruments including almost definitely a Biwa at this point, a piano, and some typical percussions, for a mixture of symphonic eastern and western orchestral music with just a touch of synth-wave electric pianos. 7. Black Rose - So this one is interesting, it's playing some sort of plucked string instrument as if it were the piano. It sounds like it's a always playing 2 notes, which makes me think it's a microtonal instrument, maybe a Kutyapi? 8. A Bright Future - This song I think is the menu screen song. Once again I'd say this is mid comparatively. It's very good overall, and has just some unique sounds to bring you into the game. The drum sounds like a generic drum, but if it's supposed to be taking the same pattern from previous songs, I'd say it's probably a Shime Daiko. 9. Angel of Death - This one is super interesting, starting off as a kind of slow piano song, picking up speed still feeling like it's supposed to be a calm song with operatic singing, and picks up speed. I like it and think it's too simple at the same time. 10. Paper Crane - This one is simpler than the previous song, maintaining tone and speed throughout. Although I have mixed feelings about the previous song, I enjoy this one quite a bit. Another primarily piano song. 11. Chandelier Showdown - With the amount of incandescent singing and speed of the piano, I honestly wouldn't be surprised to hear this was inspired by the Cowboy Bebop anime. 12. Controlled Breathing - Following with the last couple songs, this is a very calming song. Aptly named what it is. This song takes a different approach, playing some very breathy wind instruments in a rotating fashion to symbolize breathing. Then throwing in some throat singing too boot. 13. Full Moon - This ones got a nice build up, with a lot of returning previous instruments, it feels like it's a pattern at this point: Incandescent singing, piano, and percussion. 14. Highland - Let's go ahead and run back the other songs with this primarily throat singing song. Pianos are thrown in later, but this one I was taken a back, again this soundtrack impresses me and confuses me at the same time. 15. Bushido Mode - This is a great upbeat song, harkening back to the main theme of the albums merging of cultures, or rather the overall homage to the history of swordplay, this fast beat song is amazing, once again I believe a Biwa is deployed for the main instrument. 16. Ninjutsu Stealth - This one I'm at odds with, overall I like it, but it also feels weird to throw in both Khoomei throat singing and Sygyt throat singing. It seems so loud and flashy it seems odd for something referring to Ninjutsu. However, I still think it's good. 17. Annex - This song gives off the high speed performed by Bushido mode, but with a different set of instruments, namely the primary instrument is once again probably the Baglama. And honestly, it's way too short to get a grasp on. 18. Ceremonies - This song reminds me of weird non-mainstream video game music from the Sega Genesis era. I could imagine this in Kid Chameleon. It takes me back, it's rather calm, and generates a feeling of 1980-1990 music from either China or Japan, while throwing in predominantly European instruments such as the violin. 19. Vagrants - This one isn't good, I was playing it, and within the first minute my roommate openly said: " Is this from the same soundtrack?" To which I replied, "Yeah." A pause occurred before they said, "I kinda hate this one." It takes on too many new age electrical instruments, to the point that it feels out of place. 20. Thirty Story Temple - Bit of an odd one, this one is. Perfectly imperfect sentence structure to represent this perfectly imperfect song. This feels like it is once again impersonating a different game with a completely different tone. Namely something on the Super Famicom. Introducing bells and other Xylophonic-esque percussion piano instruments. 21. Bull Fight - No surprise that this song harkens back to the first, taking into inspiration once again traditional folk music from Spain. I like this, because it feels like an homage to Spains history with melee combat is being recognized by extension. From the Pike/Arquebus combination during the 17th century, due La Verdadera Destreza (fencing) it's all encompassed in this recognition. 22. Ashes - Now I know this game came out several years before Elden Ring, but this song reminds me of the Singing Female Ancestor Spirits in the Ainsel River area. 23. Vanguard - At this point in the album taking into account this song, I kind of realize that Tom Stoffel is kind of setting up introductory songs, then expanding upon them later on. Like old-school Nintendo games, where a mechanic is introduced, you work on harder and harder levels until you've mastered the technique. That being said, all previous singing techniques are brought in, as well as a combination of previously mentioned instruments.

Actually,The music is epic,But no,I would never pay 6 euro for it,As it was on sale for 1.50,I tought.Fuck it,It might be good. And I was right,The music is PUREly epic,I would recommend getting this when its on sale and maybe for full price if you want some really good music.
