The music in the game has received mixed feedback, with players expressing a desire for more background music or musical cues during gameplay, contrasting with the impactful soundtrack showcased in the trailer. While some appreciate the inclusion of a metal music radio, others feel that the in-game audio lacks the immersive quality expected from the initial presentation. Overall, the music could enhance the gaming experience if better integrated.
- “The FPS players seem to reign supreme overall if they work together with spells almost being the only exception that an RTS player will overly succeed and dominate the enemy team. For the love of God, just a little music in the background please! I mean, you got this trailer that screams doom vibes with the music, and then you get in-game and all you hear is 'enemy here' lol.”
- “My thoughts on this game... it's a great concept, it's surprisingly fun. Pros: unique game concept, awesome metal music radio, quick games, cheap price.”
