Derelict Zones OST

by Thor Bremer

Derelict Zones is a tactical rpg about diving into the unknown. While trying to gain a tactical advantage in each “zone” environment, the player will have many options and irreversible choices to make, all while trying to outrun the encroaching “fear”.

In this game each map has its own dynamic music system. During the player turn the music is less aggressive and during the enemy turn the music is more aggressive, with heavier guitars and drums. A really clear example of this system can be heard on “Factory.” The first half of the track here is the player turn music, and around 1:39 when the loop restarts you can hear the dynamic shift into the enemy turn music.

The system is a fairly simple system, but helps to add additional interest to the gameplay and makes for a more dynamic player experience.

In the soundtrack here most of the tracks are put together in this way, with the first half being player turn music and the latter half being enemy turn music.
