Indie developer Basilisk Games has had some success with its Eschalon RPG series. Like many Western indie RPGs, the game is a mostly medieval fantasy with some anachronistic elements, and it comes complete with the to-be-expected isometric viewpoint. The series is broken into “books.” Book I was released in 2007, and Book II was released in 2010.
Borislav Slavov and Victor Stoyanov were on-hand to create the music for these two games (and, with luck, will remain on tap for the planned Book III). Mr. Slavov, who goes by the name “Glorian,” has worked on better-known European titles since Eschalon, including Two Worlds. Stoyanov, himself a co-composer, is also primarily responsible for Eschalon‘s MIDI orchestration.
We got a ten-track set of music direct from the composers: six from Eschalon: Book II and four from Book I. Our critique of the music comes… after the jump. (more…)
