The music in the game is described as atmospheric and relaxing, which contrasts with the fast-paced nature of the RTS genre, leading to a disjointed experience. Reviewers noted the absence of music during the title screen and introduction, creating an odd silence, though the in-game tracks were praised for their quality.
