I already told you about Takeover 2 back in August, when a new demo for this gorgeous, retro-infused beat 'em up landed on Steam. Today, developer Pelikan13 is gearing up for release: Takeover 2 officially drops on November 10, and its pulse-pounding synthwave soundtrack has already hit most major streaming services. Head over to your favorite platform via the player above.
Even if I was already sold on the EP Francisco Cerda dropped over the summer, I can now confidently say that the Chilean composer kept the best bits under wraps. Case in point: the two tracks featuring mind-blowing solos by Chris Christodoulou, best known for his work on Risk of Rain and its sequel. Additional credits include fellow Chilean guitarist Fernando Kähs on a couple of 80s-pilled synth rock bangers.
Cerda didn't fly solo on this project, either. Gonzalo Varela, the Uruguayan composer behind Fight'N Rage and more recently Neon Inferno, also lent a hand to shape Takeover 2's vibe. Clocking in at eight tracks, this second volume injects even more variety into the mix. All in all, it is one hell of a way to get your week started.
