Newgrounds VGM Challenge - Virtual Bond: Review
The instruments you chose for this track remind me of Dimrain and Nighthawk; very clever choice, since their pieces are a good inspiration for my challenge.
Even if the first few seconds are quite strange, 0:28 manages to build up the pace effectively; good interpretation of a moment of tension and harsh heroes-monster clash, which keeps going for the first 2 minutes and a half or so.
What the first part lacks the most is atmosphere, it feels very dry; however, 2:43 and 3:17 fix that downside greatly. Strings are top notch, and they relate the most with what i was looking for. The piece evolves properly as well, to the point that i can picture the scene i had described in the prompt's introduction.
The only big downfall of this piece is the FL Slayer vst; a sequenced arpeggio could have worked better or, if you wanted to keep the guitar, you could have put a sidechain on it, so it wouldn't cover too much the other instruments.
Even if this track is, in my opinion, a bit too long and repetitive, and with some downsides here and there, it's a good piece, and it respects my prompt in a very good way.
Thanks for participating!
