Soundtrack is FANTASTIC!

But the art work is missing something. Well aware this is a demo but it is no way on par with Monster Train 1.

Not sure what it is but the first MT had so much better artwork. I thought at first I was remembering wrong but went back and looked again and sure enough MT1's art is ages beyond this one.

BUT, this is a demo and it doesn't necessarily represent the final product.

Game is still fun as hell and the added mechanics for this version make the game crazy fun!

The music on half of the floors is definitely not pleasant. The music between floors (during map selection) is bad.
Listen to the music in Monster Train (2020), how cool it is, and here it's inappropriate in places.

I loved all original MT1 tracks, Jordan truly cooked on that one. I think more were added later but I did not play MT1 except the base at the release. Transition to reignited tracks during bossess and it being dynamic elsewhere too felt really good.

None of MT2 tracks had that "something" in them what first one oozed with when I listened to OST.

Drums and guitars, drums and guitars, drums and guitars - I think thats probably one of reasons I do not enjoy MT2 as much that I can put my finger on it.
In MT1 tracks were both different and good, but if I hear drums and guitars most of the time even if the track changes it still feels the same and repetitive simply because of the oversaturation and spoil enjoyment of good track that otherwise would be growing on me and make me anticipate it.

i love soundtrack of the first half of the game, but the second half is very weak.
I have been listening to the original MT OST for a long time and I love it very much. Still in my playlist.

This is so funny. I found it so aggressive and grating that I turned it off before the 3rd floor and didn't look back. To me it was plain awful.
Just goes to show..

I'm a metal head so I love the soundtrack. To each there own. :)

MT1's soundtrack was fine, but not great, this time, it's mostly great, I've never known a transition between sequels to have such an improvement, I love it!

Is Jordan Chin doing the music for the MT2? MT1's soundtrack is 10/10. I listen to it sometimes out of game.

Yeah, its still them. Combat tracks are nowhere like in MT1 though.
Clans sounded mostly same but are now enhanced with a guitar.
Sojourns are no longer as much ambient if you are anywhere outside of shop whereas there were 3 dynamic versions of it in original one so for those that it was too much in background and calm it will be an improvement.

[Humanesque]

Yeah, not a fan of the change of vibe. The soundtrack was such a huge part of my enjoyment of MT1.

[Humanesque]

At least the motif from Sojourn/Defeat is still in there in places. If it wasn't I think I literally couldn't play this game.

[tookerdoter]

...the soundtrack is easily the best part of the demo???

if you read the song title at the start of each level it seems clear that the soundtrack we have heard so-far is fairly specific to the 'titan of savagery' themed enemies, hence the loud/angry aggressive metal tones.

it seems a perfect fit for the setting and any battles against this particular set of enemies
