The music in the game is generally well-received, with some soundtracks effectively enhancing the epic atmosphere. However, there are notable issues with sound design, particularly with certain tracks, like the exploration theme, which feel mismatched for the game's fantasy setting.
“The music and the sound itself are fine; one soundtrack is actually very fitting to sell the 'epicness' the game tries to achieve.”
“Cool music”
