Arknights has an insane amount of incredible music. We joke sometimes that Hypergryph is actually music company. Generally all CC tracks are very good. And yes they play in the CC event lobby.
TD/RTS isnt everyones cup of tea but its music is always worth looking forward to. Pyrite at first was declared the first unofficial arknights theme song by the community.
For context, this song played as the lobby music for an event we get seasonally known as Contingency Contract. We do have Boss themes with lyrics, WlfMstr and Golden Age come to mind, and a LOT of out of game character eps that are also really good.
@@RightManWrongPlace Its theme from menu of really HARD event, where you can adjust difficulty of event missions by selecting multiple perks, that makes your run harder. So while you tweaking settings you will definitely can hear whole track 😁
The music at the beginning does have some generic battle music, but it gets better as you advance through the game. Tho most of the music with lyrics are found in the events. For this case its a seasonal event that we get from time to time, each season having its own theme so different music for in battle and lobby.You would listen to the song while you plan how to do a very hard stage so you would get to listen to the full song at least once. If you will keep digging in this rabbit hole you will find it has pretty much music from every genre, the game is about a world similar to ours which has a lot of countries and each country and the characters from it have songs related to a certain genre of music with a few exceptions due to lore reasons. For example equivalent to germany has classical music. Vatican has church dubstep etc.
I play arknights mostly for the story, and as a writer and musician, the game's music has some overall strengths and weaknesses. IMO. I would say arknight's greatest strength is their composers ability to replicate near flawlessly so many styles of music from a myriad of origins; all of my favorites being vastly different from each other. It very much helps ground each character and location to a musical through-line to keep their ambitiously diverse worldbuilding together. Which leads me to what I think is the music's weakest point, (again, imo) it has somewhat consistent issues with sort of "cringe inducing" lyric writing, which comes from the fact that they need to tie the lyrics in to a already established character/story. And I assume as a live service game, the composers dont have the most time to refine every little detail that could end up annoying me specifically. But, its not a really big issue, its usually just MAYBE one line in every other song Generally speaking though it has great music and you should listen to more.
Lobby music btw, this plays on a menu while you choose which tags to play with. And dont underestimate arknights music we do have awards and nominations for the music
Each Contingency contract is a seasonal even and each has a different theme and song. There are some tracks that relase outside the game called EPs. They are character songs basically. Some vocal tracks are ingame as part of important events or story. Some vocal tracks that are ingame include CC themes (gone after the event), Wolf Master (il siracusano boss), Lullabye (chapter 8 story), Under Tides boss theme and Stultifera Navis boss theme (THE GOLDEN AGE WILL RETURN AGAIN). Ps: You probably won't like all the songs. The variety is insane. Cheers. Edit: About Contingency Contract lobby themes, they are there as a kind of rest spot. CC is a hard event, so after trying and retrying the same stage many times you take a few minutes to relax to some tunes.
I also watch ToxicxEternity who does metal guitar playalongs of requested songs, and his playlist for the Arknights tracks he's done is up to 90, and they are somehow all bangers. It's the only game he made special playlist for just to sort them all out.
@@RightManWrongPlace exactly why a port to switch or switch 2 to iron out problems like Nla theme sucks text in menus to small it feels like a game that's need a sequel or remake to polish out the bumps
@@RightManWrongPlace dw man we got you. Arknights community love the newcomers coming to appreciate our songs! Soon enough You'll get a whole playlist of Arknights songs reacted, trust me lmao. That's why other comment start to gather the hivemind
Arknights is just tower defence game, ppl like it or not, but when it come to music, EPs, battle bgms, boss ost, lobby theme (like this one) have a ton and ton of difference genres goes to Rock/metal/Pop/EDM/Traditionnal/Rap and way more style you desire. you'll eventually like some, thx for the reaction, hope you'll do more of Arknights music
mobile game... Like, I'm not mad at that, but there is one thing which, I think, every fan of Arknights would say is that AK is not just a mobile game. The concept of this game is really good and devs are actually didn't ruined that concept, but because they couldn't really do much with it devs had no choice but to make it mobile. But also they're trying to pay off all support from players back to the game, so we can continue to enjoy the game (Arknights is also considered to be the most generous gacha game among popular gachas)
And fans really appreciate this feedback. Yeah, community of the game is not big, but couple of months ago there was a concert in China in which all 60 000 tickets were sold under the minute
8:29 you start the what now? xD Welcome to Arknights's music, just name what genre you want, and we will (likely) have it! Spy movie style? Try Squad Unknown. Italian jazz? Thorns in you. Classic Chinese instrumental? Till the wave ends. Schuber'st Der Erlkönig remix? Hell yeah, just look for "Zwillingstürme im Herbst Battle Theme 02". As a suggestion, "Radiant" is one of the best songs Arknights has ever produced! About this song's placement in the game: There is a mode called Contingency Contract, and it is the hardest challenge in the game. This is the lobby theme for the menu where we choose which tags for enemies buffs and friendly debuffs you take for making the stage more challenging, and it can take a few minutes to do while you try to "fit" your current team in those tags. Pretty much every "Contingency Contract" (or CC) lobby theme will be good because we spend so much time in there!
Pity that u didn't like the game itself but it's ok since tower defense type games arent for everyone, and it is pretty rough to start out. Once u got over most of the boring bits then it is pretty decent. This song in particular is actually the first vocal track that was put in game in 1 of the gamemodes called Contigency Contract (CC for short) This mode is actually a group of limited time events so u probably didn't catch it when u first started out. There's 2 seasons of CC, season 1 got 12 events so 12 different lobby themes. season 2 got 2 so far and is still ongoing.
I actually do like TD games! I've played tons of them, all the way back to StarCraft custom maps. 🙂 I can't seem to get into the "hero TD" type thing though.
@@RightManWrongPlace Could be because of the chibi sprites, some people would be turn off by them. Or the complexity of the gameplay, by that I mean every character has their own different stats, range, archetype, skills, how they prioritize different targets and enemies could move in various routes to confuse you. Or that character's full potential is locked behind levels and upgrades preventing u from accessing them right from the start. It is also a bit trickier to get used to than something like PvZ where u can just place many of the same plant while u can't do that in Arknights and removing a character from the stage forces u to wait to redeploy that character again, making u have to time things ahead.
Ak plays like a grid based rts imo. If you avoid the broken overpowered units/AFK units then the game becomes fairly micro intensive. The nice thing compared to other gachas other than limbus is the lack of need to farm/grind equipment and other time consuming things. If you have one copy of the unit, you're set. No seperate rng for supplementary items or gear etc. Just levels and skill upgrading/modules.
The developers of arknights are a bunch of music game and animation fans the money from the mobile gotcha goes to fund the music label for the studio monster siren and their animation studio with yostar who made their own anime for arknights they put on their own concerts which are on RUclips

How can you mention boss themes and NOT mention Towerfierce as the defacto lol.
@dreiak That is a very fair point. It's been a few years since I fought that boss and honestly it just slipped my mind.
