Now this is fight music.
By Troy-Jeffrey Allen
Hailing from our backyard in Baltimore, MD, chiptunes composer Inverse Phase is bringing his retro 8-bit musical alchemy to an upcoming side-scroller titled Treachery in Beatdown City.
Treachery in Beatdown City was fully funded on Kickstarter this time last year with a 2015 release date (you can pre-order here), but the game’s official soundtrack is available now for…$2! And the best part you can try before you buy below.
From Inverse Phase’s store:
Treachery in Beatdown City is a cool game imagined by Shawn Alexander Allen — aka Nuchallenger — that lovingly pays homage to all the beat’emups you played in the 8- and 16-bit eras of gaming. It combines fighting games with roleplaying aspects in a really interesting way, but even before I knew about that I wanted to be on his project because of how passionate he is about the game. I did my best to provide music that echoes the feelings of the games we tribute.
Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
This is 17 minutes of original NES beat’emup love.
