The game's music is often limited and repetitive, primarily only playing during event announcements, leading to quiet and sometimes boring moments. Users suggest adding more varied tracks, sharing the trailer music, and improving overall sound customization to enhance the experience. Despite these sound shortcomings, the game remains enjoyable and well-regarded.
- “The game could use more music and improved sound, as it is really quiet and can be boring to listen to during quiet moments. Music is mostly heard only during event announcements.”
- “The soundtrack is sometimes absent, which is a minor issue, but many players can simply use external music like Spotify with low volume.”
- “Battle Carnival lacks variety in music but remains a fun and good hero shooter.”
- “The game isn't flawless though, it could use more customization, more music, share the trailer music, improve sound because the game is really quiet and can kinda make it boring to watch or listen to in quiet moments. It needs something; you only ever hear music during event announcements.”
- “The voices... omg and that repetitive music is so soooo bad.”
- “Soundtrack is absent sometimes (this is the smallest issue ever, but it exists, and for a majority of people it should be irrelevant, just put on Spotify and have low volume.)”
