The Darkest Age: Heroes and Barbarians (Game Music Themes)
A downloadable soundtrack
The Darkest Age: Heroes and Barbarians is a simple music pack with a lot to offer. The melodies and instrumentation are inspired by Northern European traditions, including Celtic, Viking, Irish, Scottish, with a touch of Eastern European influence. These sounds fit well with history based games as well as fantasy themes inspired by folklore. The recordings themselves feature a mix of sampled and live instruments to capture the true essence of tradition.

WHY?
=====
The Darkest Age: Heroes and Barbarians works for so many different gameplay styles. Folk traditions are a great way to tell the story of your characters or from whence they came, provide the driving beat for battle, and even convey condolences after defeat. I've plugged these songs into multiple game demos and I'm confident you'll enjoy these songs as much as I have producing and implementing them!
