  • monomer – Ranger Wars

    Purchase (Bandcamp)

    The Victory Rangers of Future City 20XX have worked together to vanquish every manner of threat to their beloved home planet – except each other! Now their super-star egos drive a feud that can only be settled with blood! Heavily influenced by NES music, and Mega Man games in specific, the soundtrack relies on simple waveforms and white-noise percussion to capture a retro feel with modern production. Written over the course of several months at the start of 2011.

    Game Name: Ranger Wars

    Developer: Nubbernaut Studios

    Platform: XBLA (release date TBD)

    Composer/Producer: Gavin Allen (monomer)
