“Distant Call,” the fifth stage theme, is a personal favorite. It’s an airy tune that also conjures up a sense of nostalgia. When I first heard it, it reminded me of Manabu Namiki’s earlier works stylistically, especially in the B section with its beautiful, softer synths and electric guitar melody.

The fourth stage theme, “Low Altitude” is another tune where FM synth and synthesizer are at the forefront. It boasts funky slap bass, FM synth and rock accompaniment, and a fantastic synth melody that, in combination with the other elements in the tune, gives it an incredibly retro feel and a bit of tension in the atmosphere with a heroic bridge that helps break some of tenser atmosphere. “Crafted Beasts,” the third stage theme, is more akin to the first stage theme. It’s still a solid tune, but I find the A section to be a bit less exciting melodically speaking. In addition, there are also some crazy synth solos and an electric guitar bridge that really help veer the tune into more exciting territory. The tempo is decidedly slower and the drum pad work is quite impressive. In “Jazzy NNYC,” the second stage theme, it’s a jazzier affair, with a saxophone driven melody and synthesized accompaniment. The other stage themes also offer with it many other styles. If I had heard this without knowing the composer’s name beforehand, I would have assumed it was a veteran of that genre. The tune is incredibly invigorating, features a catchy melody, and is synth rock through and through. Spacey synths, excellent bass and electronic beats helping to lay the backbone of the piece, and an electric guitar paving the way in the lead melody all help transport the listener back to the eras where titans like Hyakutaro Tsukumo and Manabu Namiki initially made their marks. Fortunately, Joseph Bailey’s “Iron Attack” certainly lives up to that expectation. Without a catchy melody, especially for these games inspired by the classics, part of its heart is already missing. With any shoot-em-up, I feel that the first stage theme is key. Does this soundtrack live up to the classics? Body In addition, guest contributions by Mason Lieberman, of the upcoming Renaine, and Hyakutaro Tsukumo, a veteran of the genre known for his work on the Thunder Force series, help round out the score. Likewise, the Devil Engine Original Soundtrack, composed primarily by Joseph Bailey (Qwesta), also carries this influence throughout its score.
