Ironically, the music is not bad

I think I’ve said all that really needs to be said about Capcom’s free-to-play abomination that isRockman Xover. But in all fairness, I have not personally played the game and thus can’t judge the accuracy of others’ damning impressions… yet. Capcom is still tooling around with the idea of alocalized release, so maybe I’ll get that opportunity one day.

While those chuckle monkeys get that business sorted, you’re able to downloadXover‘s soundtrackfrom the Capcom sound team page complete free of charge. Composed by Masahiro Aoki, member of the in-house Capcom bandROCK-MEN, the music departs from the series’ usual electronica styles and enters full hard rock territory with wailing guitars that wouldn’t feel out of place inGuilty Gear. It’s surprisingly not complete doo-doo, and the main theme is quite catchy.

On the downside, it’s only six tracks long. One track was added to the game along with thefan-created Arcade Man boss, and another is a piano / violin arrangement of the main theme. In other words, the game only hadfoursongs initially. That’s kind of pathetic, but whatevs. To download the individual tracks, visithereand click on the song titles under the “REVIEW” section.
