10 Breathtaking Video Game Soundtracks You Need To Hear
2. Undertale
After falling into a world full of monsters known as the Underground, retro RPG-inspired Undertale sees players as a small child venturing through this strange world to return to the surface, meeting a host of memorable characters along the way.
Developed entirely by Toby Fox, this modern cult classic took the world by storm with its initial release on PC back in 2015 where its audience has continued to grow.
Featuring some of the cleverest and nuanced writing in recent memory, Undertale is a game that's meant to be played more than once in order to experience everything it has to offer. One of these offerings being its score, which was also composed by Fox.
Inspired by classic RPGs like EarthBound, Undertale's music puts a modern twist on the soundscapes of retro video games. It gives each setting, character, and boss encounter its own distinctive and equally memorable track full of personality and charm. And when all of these beloved leitmotifs are woven together in climactic track 'Hopes And Dreams', the effect is the definition of breathtaking.
Even if you're yet to experience Undertale, tracks like 'Undertale' and 'MEGALOVANIA' can provide a preview at just what you've been missing out on.
