Talk:Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance/@comment-12.244.42.10-20190523181836

Most of the general outcry against the music in the game is due to the game using a sound quality reminiscent of video games being produced nearly two decades ago, and, thus, ends up sounding very similar to Game Boy or Nintendo Entertainment System video games.

The second component of this controversy is the actual melodic compositions themselves. The music is quite unconventional and gloomy; it ends up being almost depressing at points. The way the instruments are utilized also has provided some source of discomfort for people; the songs are quite heavily layered with multiple melodies, and this sometimes gives a feeling of dissonance.

Okay, Here's my  Opinion:  A: It's just 8-bit music, chill. I defend the music of any game that makes use of the 8-Bit style.

B:So what if they're dark and gloomy, Dracula's castle itself is dark and gloomy if you think about it. That's why the games are so great. They have a dark aesthetic to them and it suits the story and gameplay. This goes for all Castlevania games.
