And some of these track are so fun that it really doesn't matter. It does flow together enough to make a consistent enough album at least. Also, this was a collaboration of many artists, so the music isn't exactly stable quality-wise. This just isn't noticeable when playing the game as the music shifts so much through the fray. I'll admit that my nerdy self has tracks like "Spanish Waltz" and "Jumper" on my iPod, but I'd listen to them a lot more if they had a crazy solo or bridge to complete them. This doesn't help them stand out as much with out the game to back it up.
#Castle crashers soundtracks full
No matter how much I love the tracks, they aren't all full out compositions. There's just not much to complain about here except that I would like it to be a little less looped.Īnd in the end, that is the problem with the soundtrack. "Jumper" is then followed up by the fun and haunting forest theme, "Space Pirates". It amazingly captures the fun vibe that this game has and is my personal favorite track. It's extremely energetic, but smooth to the ears also. It's a great, upbeat synth track that you will, no doubt, have stuck in your head. A lot of the action-packed tracks contain electronic beats, but they are not exactly techno tracks it works most of the time but at times it gets a little annoying.įor more light-hearted levels there are themes like "Jumper", the theme to the forest entrance. The tracks do get a bit repetitive while listening to them without the fun game to back them up, and I'll talk more about that in a moment. The Painter Boss' theme is just upbeat and silly like the painter boss is. The final boss track, "Necromancer", is just bursting with hardcore rocking energy and when the synth comes in, it sounds great. The boss tracks also range from upbeat to epic depending on the boss. With the style of the game, it all just flows perfectly back and forth from epic to humorous. And after a battle of epic proportations, there's nothing better than relaxing to the quirky shop track called "Spanish Waltz". There must have been a lot of picking and choosing for what tracks went into the game and, of course, these were the best of the best. It really gets you pumped for battling with your buddies and the fact that I could see it in a big name action RPG shows some of these non-professional musicians are worthy too. Some of the greatest serious music starts right with the main theme, "Four Brave Champions". I don't like to use the word "epic" too often, but I think anyone who has played this game would agree that it is an appropriate word. The more serious tracks work extremely well. This game is no doubt a comedy, but that doesn't stop it from being epic.
Despite what you might be thinking, it's far from amateur and I can't say I've ever heard a better user-based soundtrack in my life.
It's actually a collection of music previously made by various users of Newgrounds. The funny thing about the soundtrack is that it was never actually written for this game specifically. The Castle Crashers soundtrack is, no doubt, one of the more appropriate soundtracks I've heard in a video game.
