The game's music has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it generic and reminiscent of "butt rock," while others appreciate its hard rock and heavy metal influences, likening it to an 80s horror vibe. Many users express a desire for licensed tracks from well-known bands, suggesting that the original compositions, though energetic, do not meet their expectations. Overall, the music serves as a backdrop that some enjoy, but many feel it could be significantly improved with better selections.
- “It features a female band that is like a cross between The Runaways and some band from an anime cartoon. It has a lot of cool hard rock/heavy metal references and music (all made by the game developers, there isn't any licensed music in the game), and it has a very cool 80's horror vibe to it.”
- “I love the background music; I find myself nodding my head as I play!”
- “And let's face it, who amongst us gamers, music lovers, and seemingly mad hatters, hasn't dreamt of fighting the forces of hell, clad in leather and rocking out?!”
- “The music is generic butt rock.”
- “Said special place is open for the person who figured that this horrible, wannabe faux rock music blaring constantly was an excellent idea.”
- “The only thing that would make this game better is DLC or a sequel with licensed music from Megadeth or Rob Zombie!”
