Undertale‘s spectacular soundtrack has discovered a brand new house as we speak, in an unlikely partnership with previous arcade studio Taito and their minimalist rhythm game Groove Coaster. Being that these are two games I commonly return to (though Groove Coaster principally lives on my telephone), it’s a pairing I’m a lot proud of. While sadly solely 4 tracks, they’ve picked some good ones for this DLC, and the degrees they’re wrapped round are appropriately themed. Below, a cute trailer that includes our favorite lazy skeleton making an attempt his hand at DJ’ing. Minor Undertale spoilers under, too.
The 4 tracks within the DLC are:
Death By Glamour – Theme of the world’s most lovely robotic, Mettaton.
Last Goodbye – The particular medley observe used within the True Ending credit.
Battle Against A True Hero – The first particular boss theme used on the Genocide route.
Megalovania – The sound everybody hears earlier than they die. And die. And die once more.
There’s additionally a handful of little avatar sprites you should use, together with the perpetually squinty-eyed misplaced little one, Flowey, or (most appropriately) just a bit coronary heart representing your musically entranced soul.
It’s a very good set of tracks, and Megalovania is a given. Interestingly, that observe has a whole lot of historical past to it – it dates again to one in every of Undertale creator Toby Fox’s earliest initiatives, a Halloween mod for SNES JRPG Earthbound he made when he was simply 16. You can hear the earliest version of it here, courtesy of YouTuber Cameron. Later it went on to develop into a part of the soundtrack for leviathan web-comic Homestuck, earlier than formally mutating another time and eternally turning into related to brief, depressed skeletons. I reckon that it’s simply among the finest boss themes ever written.
The Undertale DLC is available now on Steam for £5.40/$6.36 or as a part of a bundle with Groove Coaster itself for £17.79/$22.35. The PC model is printed by Degica.
