    The best part about ULTRAKILL is that it's mostly made by only one person, including the soundtrack. The only exceptions are Tenebre Rosso Sangue and Ultrachurch made by Keygen Church, The Cyber Grind made by Meganeko and HATEFUL made by Health. Hakita is a juggernaut when it comes to game dev.

    A thing to note for Order, it's the theme of the first super boss on Ultrakill for P-1, Minos Prime. He's in a vengeful wrath, not only from being freed from his flesh prison he was in (long story) and, while thankful, you're a "Creature of steel" and so your punishment is death as he says. This song hits harder when you hear both his opening monologue and his death speech.

    21:34 most videogame music is made to be *looped* at some instances, since each individual player can take diffirent time to beat a level/boss on which such piece plays. I think that also means when people upload this from the game files it's ending ubruptely (since it's designed to loop certain part over and over) and then they make it fade out to make a proper "end" for it, but that's just my opinion of it.

    • @Delfigamer1
      @Delfigamer1 Год назад +27

      The tracks in this review are not the exact same tracks as in the game itself. They were mixed separately by Hakita, the main composer of Ultrakill, specifically to be listened on their own. For Castle Vein, for example, the game itself has two entire individual tracks, a "calm" and a "battle" version, that cross-fade into each other depending on the current in-game situation; but in the album Hakita merged them into one track, using parts of both, and added a proper conclusion at the end.

    Sometimes I'm tempted to not call the "Electronic sound" a genre, it contains so many different interpretations that I find myself classifying it as a Super Genre of sorts. It not only has extremely varied interpretations, it is prone to merging with other genres to become something unique.

      Calling "music that uses electronic instruments" a genre is like using a word for "music that uses string instruments" and it does not make much sense to me.

    Another really good one is the song of the very first level (if you count the Prelude at least, which I do), Into The Fire. Like Order, there's actually gameplay that fits really well with the intro. With Order, the boss, Minos Prime, monologues during the intro of the song. With Into The Fire, you're walking through some really narrow hallways towards your first weapon during the intro, and the actual music starts when you grab it. Hakita did a *really* good job with stuff like that.

    @miss_bec Год назад +18

    A bit of spoiler-free context for each song!
    -The level that Castle Vein plays in - "Hall of Sacred Remains" - is structured like a metroidvania where there's lots of alternate secret paths and choice in where the player can go, as well as paths that loop into and cross over one another. One of many definite nods to Castlevania in the game.
    -The artist for "The Cyber Grind", Meganeko, approached the developer Hakita with this song. As a response, Hakita created an endless wave arena mode just so that he could have a place to put this in the game.
    -Order is the track for an incredibly difficult and entirely optional secret level. It takes a prominent leitmotif from an earlier song "Requiem", which is relevant for spoilery story reasons. If you're only allowed to listen to one other song from Ultrakill, listen to Requiem - its an excellent song in and of itself, and will retroactively improve your appreciation of Order.
    Bonus Trivia:
    -Each level in the game is named after a song.
    -The "overall genre" of Ultrakill's soundtrack is breakcore, but each four songs in the main albums follow their own style to suit the levels that they're part of.

      He has to do it for time sake. The assumption is that most people will already had heard the whole thing. But the ending of The Cyber Grind being cut off, that was a little cringe for sure.
      Since it sounds like something from Doom Eternal, he might had hedged his bets and played safe with its omission, rather than this video being omitted _in its entirety_ by Id.

    "tenebre rosso sangue" is one of if not the best ultrakill track
    if there is a next time, which i really hope there is, i really recommend it
    also "order" uses another great track called "requiem" as a leitmotif which is why it sounds melancholic and sad, it works really well with the lore of ultrakill

    • @Enter54623

      Adding onto this, perhaps he should do a reaction to this one video essay I saw talking about Minos’s theme throughout the music that encapsulates his area of the story and the way in which it all comes together in the Minos Prime fight to portray the climax of Minos’ emotions at the end of his life, i loved that video and I feel like he would too!

  • @rodneybuckentime4838
    @rodneybuckentime4838 Год назад +5

    A little lore behind ORDER...
    Minos is derived from Dante's Inferno, where he is the judge of hell. This game takes place after God has "vanished", which threw heaven into disorder. While this happened, Minos, deeming the people of the Lust layer of hell (second layer according to the divine comedy) to be unfairly punished simply because "they loved each other". So, he helped them to build a sprawling city, ruled over them justly, and brought an age of prosperity to the layer. However, once heaven had sorted things out with God vanishing, the arch-angel Gabriel was sent down to kill Minos for turning against the will of God. Minos tried to be diplomatic about it, yet Gabriel struck him dead, forcing his corpse to wander through the city he created, destroying everything he worked for.
    This is where the Prime Soul comes into play.
    A Prime Soul is a soul powerful enough to manifest physically outside of a body. The angels, knowing the sheer power of a Prime Soul, decided to imprison Minos' soul within a prison of flesh, locked deep within his own corpse. Thus, Minos' soul was forced to watch as everything he had worked for was destroyed.
    EDIT: Also, his Prime Soul appearance is the most raw characteristics of his being. He is faceless, for he did not rule for wealth or power. The crown fused to his head resembles a city, such as the one he helped build. The large heart clearly visible beneath his "skin" represents his kindness and compassion for others. The snakes, though, are a bit more connected to the mythology of Minos.
