Today I want to talk to you about game soundtracks. As the editor of Qitan, in addition to reading game information, my other hobby is collecting BGM of various games. Some games may have mediocre gameplay, but the music will keep you playing for a long time. And some games, from the music to the gameplay, are so surprising that they want to amuse the world.
As I want to post in the music sharing area today, I will take stock of several casual mobile games with Taoist elements. Their soundtracks each have their own taste, especially the recently discovered one called "Yin Yang Love". Just listening to the theme song made me fall in love. 😆
Let's talk about the first one first, it must be this “Yin Yang Love”. The soundtrack in the game combines guqin, flute and some electronic sound effects, which sounds both traditional and modern. The main interface is a melodious flute sound, which seems to take you into a fairy-filled town. The elimination sound effects during battle are particularly crisp and clear, and combined with the picture of the Taoist symbols flying out, each row you eliminate feels like you are successfully exorcising evil spirits. Moreover, when Yuxuan and Xiaobai interact in the plot, it will switch to a light love-style piano music, which is so sweet that it will make you laugh. The developer is Changsha Tianyou Interactive Entertainment. The platform is 5.0 system. It is free to download. It is really very conscientious.
The second game is "Xundao Daqian". The soundtrack of this game is majestic. The guzheng ensemble at the beginning makes people instantly enter the world of cultivating immortals. The elimination gameplay is combined with the randomly triggered "thunder spell" sound effect, and every time you release a skill, you will feel like lightning and thunder. However, the plot is on the funny side, so the music will suddenly change into cheerful erhu music, which is a very cute contrast.
The third version of "Cultivation Simulator" is more life-like. The music is a loop of birdsong and running water, plus the occasional tapping of wooden fish, which is suitable for relaxing before going to bed. But please note that this game is a casual idle game with fewer elimination elements and is mainly about development and love.
The fourth song "Taoist Descending the Mountain" uses a lot of folk percussion in its music, which has a strong sense of rhythm. Every time it is eliminated, the drum beat will be triggered, just like playing Allegro. In the plot, the BGM of Yuxuan's grievance when being bullied by his senior brother is actually a suona, which is simply a wonderful soundtrack.
Although the fifth game "Onmyoji: Yokai House" does not have a Taoist background, its music has a lot of Japanese elements, which is considered a variation. The elimination method is replaced by marbles. Every time the balls are ejected, there is a crisp collision sound, which is particularly relaxing.
The soundtrack of the sixth game "Road of the Sword" focuses on ancient love songs. The theme song is sung by a well-known singer. There is also a branch BGM with various instrumental ensembles in the game. But it doesn't have many elimination levels, and it's more of a plot experience.
The seventh game "Unbelievable Labyrinth" has a Taoist-themed map, and the BGM inside is a variation of Taoist priests chanting sutras. It's a bit brainwashing after listening to it for a long time. Coupled with the elimination of props and spells, it is very unique.
The eighth mobile game version of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series, the soundtrack of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" follows the classic melody, and the elimination gameplay integrates the five elements. The music ranges from tense battle songs to warm songs, but because it is card plus elimination, it is a little complicated to get started.
The BGM of the ninth "One Thought of Care" is Zen-like, using a lot of ethereal harmonies, combined with the ink painting style, and there will be the sound of writing with a brush when it is eliminated, as if you are a cultivator.
The tenth game "Seeing" is a charity game with few Taoist elements, but its music uses chimes and shengs and has a deep healing style, which is suitable for listening to when you are irritable.
Okay, that's it for today's inventory. In fact, the soundtrack of every game is the hard work of the development team, especially for a small but beautiful work like "Yin Yang Love", the combination of music and gameplay is really eye-catching. If you also like Taoist themes or casual elimination, and want to hear different BGM, you might as well give it a try. Everyone is welcome to share your favorite game soundtracks in the comment area. See you in the next issue! 🎶
