RPG Maker MV - Future Steam Punk DLC

Almost every song sounds like a difficult DDR battle is about to occur

This definitely should have more reviews. I loved every song! Pretty neat stuff here <3

[b]Musical, Not Fantasy[/b] This is a good collection of tunes that can be used in a variety of genres, not just "steampunk." Yes, it is a great fit for makers working on a steampunk or cyberpunk project; however, several tracks can fit in any modern or sci-fi setting as well. It's not the newest background music pack, so it can be found on sale fairly regularly -- making it a good bargain addition to the game maker's war-chest.

I love the music given here. I am NOT a fan of the tracks with singing in them.. The stuff they're singing about is not good either from what I can understand either meow. That said, that Punk Party song has the word Hey shouted over and over, and that's ok. Meow. I highly recommend if you're going for some modern day or more sci-fi steam punk themed areas or fights in your game. Great tracks if you're into this genre. I give it 3.5 paws out of 4. Meow.

This music pack is so good, for sure best music pack you can buy here on steam. Scrap hope is fking amazing. If your looking for good music in your game (What you prob are) get this. Worth every peny.

I wasn't quite sure what the Music was going to sound like so I based my decision on wanting Steampunk type music for my game project and another lengthy review I already read on this colection. There are a lot of unique sound effects and background sounds with this as well as the background music. Great for factory sounds or futuristic areas! The music scores are pretty good and there are a variety of them - some are good for battles and others for town exploring. They have a more updated feel to them (Not castle era sounding) so once again good for futuristic and steampunk games as promoted. I like the songs enough that I listen to them while working on my project. Some of the songs have vocals in them which in my opinion were not needed ( A bang clang sound effect would have been more univeral) but overall I have some good music to work with.

Sadly, the BGM isn't the kind of music I associate with steampunk at all, futuristic cyberpunk if anything. Most of it is upbeat techno-ish music which I would personally never use in a game. There was very little variation between the different sounds and songs, so if you want to use music to address emotion and ambiance in your game or a lot of vastly differing sound effects, this is definitely not what you're looking for. I understand this is "Future" Steam Punk, but for my taste there was too much "future", too little "steampunk". Maybe more variation in the BGM could've already made a big difference, but I guess we'll never know for sure.

While there aren't a lot of songs unlike a bunch of other rpg maker music packs, this pack has some of the best songs I've seen in any resource pack for rpg maker. The BGM sounds epic and the BGS is great for factories. The ME and SEs aren't that great or useful, but they're still a nice addition, and so are the character sprites. Just keep in mind that if you're gonna buy this pack it's for the music and not for the sound effects, or else you'll probably find yourself disappointed. Anyway, onto reviewing each track one by one! Punk Party (Battle 1) - A pretty neat battle theme. It's not as great as some other tracks in the pack but it's definetly much better than rtp music. My only problem with it is that the ''hey!''s towards the end of the song sound annoying and I'll probably end up cutting those from the song if I'm going to use this. Aquamarine (Battle 2) - The slow start isn't exactly fitting for battle music, and it feels much more like a field music. However, it does turn into more of a battle theme about 20 seconds in, so if you're ok with that, I don't think you'll have a problem with this song. Madness Justice (Battle 3) - This is one of the three songs from the pack that I did not like. The vocals are a stupid addition, in my opinion. Who the hell wants vocals in their battle music? System PMG2 (Battle 4) - This one's a great song ruined by vocals. I'd love to have used this but because of the vocals, I'm tempted not to. This was the second song from the pack that I did not like. Oli Viaan (Battle 5) - I really like this one. It definetly fits an emotional final battle... or just a boss battle in general. It's epic yet feelsy. Scrap Hope (Field 1) - I wouldn't say this makes a great field song, but it makes a nice post game song. As in you beat the final boss and now everyone is happy! Ok, actually, nvm, it does sound like a nice field song. Could go in a forest or swamp maybe. Steam Out (Field 2) - The mechanical sounds make this a pretty great dungeon music, but at the same time it fits a hub area, town, or shopping centre of sorts. A pretty neat song overall! 869 Bit (Scene 1) - This sounds like something straight out of the original sonic games. ''Steampunk Zone A'' or something I dunno, it's a nice track but I can't think of a situation where it would work in an rpg. So if you're making a sonic fangame (in rpg maker, of course, since using these songs in other engines is not allowed) this could come in handy. Mechanism (Scene 2) - Ironically the most ''field'' sounding song is listed as ''scene''. This song would go great in a dungeon, especially a cave or castle or somewhere similar. Balmung True Remix (Scene 3) - Not as good as the original song, which I'm going to get to later. This starts off quite good, but the change in melody after 25 seconds makes me dislike it. It's not a bad tune on it's own, but I'd expect a Balmung remix to be more like... well, Balmung. Luckily it picks back up again after the minute mark. And then goes downhill again. Brynhildr (Scene 4) - This is pretty much an anime opening without vocals. That's the best way I can describe it. So if you get hatsune miku to sing to this you can have an opening theme for your animu games. I kid, I kid. It sounds pretty great on it's own too. The scenerio where I think this could be used is when, like, the enemy is about to defeat your party but then with the power of friendship everyone get super strong. Crab Hammer (Scene 5) - This starts off as a great dungeon song, then turns into a more battle theme sounding thing, and then you get vocals again. It's a shame, because this is another song that would've been pretty good if not for the vocals. Valkirie (Scene 6) - Basically, you take Bryhildr and make it less of a ''YOU FEEL THE POWER OF DETERMINATION'' song and more of a battle song. So like, if your entire party just got powered up by love and then a battle starts, this song would do great in that battle. This is the second best song in the pack imo. Stardust (Theme 1) - Another emotional ''POWER OF DETERMINATION'' sounding song. Just like Valkirie, it would make a great battle theme. I do not believe this is a remix of Bryhildr though, unlike Valkirie. Balmung (Theme 2) - Oh. My. God. This is not only the best song in the pack, it's probably the best song I've heard in any rpg maker pack ever. It's literally screaming ''EPIC FINAL BATTLE. EPIC FINAL BATTLE.'' to me. And even if your final boss is shit, I'd love it just because you used this song <3 (One of the main reasons Balmung True Remix disappointed me was because it does not measure up to the amazing quality of this song) Kate (Theme 3) - Should've titled this ''Aquamarine True Remix'' because that's exactly what it is. But unlike Balmung, this sounds just as good as the original, if not better. Peridot (Theme 4) - I find Peridot to be a cute little name, and it definetly fits this song. Because it's cute and cheerful. But, well, it still sounds like a battle theme, so early game monsters could have this as their battle theme. Electric Town (Town 1) - Not much to say here. It's a neat song, and could indeed go nicely in a steampunk town, or a factory dungeon. Peacful Village (Town 2) - Not much to say here either. This one's a bit more on the ''generic town theme'' side, but it's still nice, just not as good as a lot of the calm town themes are in other packs. Arabesque suzumix (Town 3) - DANCE OFF! Bgs 1 & 2 - They are both simply factory ambience. Not much else to say here. Bgs 3 - Think of that easter egg from portal 2 where a bunch of turrets were having a choir. Yeah, this is basically that, except less fancy and more hip-hopy. Anyway, something else to keep in mind: These songs do not loop well. As in most of them fade out and then just start playing again, so you may have to do some editing to get them to loop. I know, this is a bit of a huge problem, but I don't care much simply because of how good most of the music in this pack sounds. Tl; dr - Totally worth buying. Has some amazing music, though 3 of them are ruined by vocals. Most of the songs sound like battle music, even the town and field ones. BGS are pretty good, MEs and SEs are not. Biggest setback is that the music does not loop properly.
