I don’t know why, but I see a adventure montage instead of a boss battle, maybe it’s my adventurous spirit, all I can say is good job, this sounds really good. And fits the vid game feel.

9.7/10

Also what’s Darius

AlxEllis responds:

Thank you very much! glad you liked it, DARIUS is an arcade space shoot-em-up released by Taito in the 80s

Nice!

AlxEllis responds:

Thank you <3

Great track! Reminds me a bit of Ikaruga too, I think there's a sample that sounds super similar to one from that game.

AlxEllis responds:

Thank you so much! I need to check out Ikaruga! im on a shmup journey!

Glad you enjoyed the track!

Splendid! You definitely captured the feeling of a shoot-em-up arcade.

AlxEllis responds:

Thank you so much! I'd been playing through the Konami Arcade Classics collection and the Darius collection so it was fresh in my mind at the time! haha
