Entry 1224 - Rouge Legacy II


Style: video game music

Primary Emotions/Themes: Similar in sound to the first soundtrack, yet with an entirely new set of instruments

Thoughts: Everything about Rouge Legacy II was bigger. The levels are longer, there's more types of character tropes to choose from, the entire world is more interconnected, the progression tree is more complex, and the music is more modern.

My main joy of listening to the first game's soundtrack was because of the retro mixed with modern instrumentation. That is largely gone in the second games OST. In it's place we have nearly all modern instrumentation with almost all of the retro aspects have been removed. It's a shame and it kept me from enjoying this album to the fullest for a little while.

After some time though the games music started growing on me. It's not nearly as compelling as the first games music, but it still is well crafted and warrants a listen from time to time. I still enjoy the music for what it is, it just won't hit the turntable as much as the first game.
