Back in the 1990's a plethora of released games featured a borderline experimental, trippy and psychedelic techno soundtrack reminiscent of something from the demoscene. Its typically described as acid breakbeats, drum 'n' bass/jungle and retro future, I think. Most recent I can recall is Ion fury somewhat. Here's a few example of what I'm talking about:













Has there been any recent modern games, aside from Ion fury, which featured a soundtrack in a similar vein?

Furi

Hadn't heard it in while in modern games, but I exactly know the scratch to itch when it comes to this kind of soundtracks. Every now and then I listen to the OST of N64s Etreme-G and even purchased the module for the reason to have the OST as original as possible.

 

[Hypereides]

Neon White

Furi

Nice, thanks. I already had my eye on both. Looking forward to checking them out.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Maybe Everspace 2 fits?

Some of Synthetik's soundtrack will also fit the bill for you (check out 31:46):

Maybe Everspace 2 fits?

Great OST but it leans more into synth then it does DnB.

Game is excellent though so I think the OP should check it out regardless.

Fuck me, I forgot ghostrunner:




Shame on me.

Not bad. I could roll with that.

Some of Synthetik's soundtrack will also fit the bill for you:

Hmm. The soundtrack is neat, but seems to have a bit more of an 80's undertone if you know what I mean. The "Cyberpunk intro" and "Cyberpunk combat 1" tracks are really sweet.

Its a bit hard to determine since its a specific type of DnB, with a certain array of instruments.

Other examples that could maybe fit:

Yeh Synthetik's soundtrack is a blend of 80's and 90's dance music, I do love it though.

Ghostrunner might be closer to what you're looking for than that is though.

Severed Steel is fire. That game was my addiction for a while, some of the most pure gameplay around.

Tekken the thread.

 

[Flabagast]

Cyberpunk has amazing raw techno tracks



At 2:30 the track turns into something totally insane

[FeralEcho]

Tekken 8 dude... it's literally coming out in a couple days.

Ah yeah, Ghostrunner soundtrack is pretty dope.

O rly? Color me intrigued. With that soundtrack to boot, sounds like its packing one heck of a combo.

Fuck, that Chevalier theme soundtrack is bitchin'. Its a bit more club-ish though imo.

Be the judge

 

[NightmareFarm]

There are plenty of 90s techno bangers in the game like the above tracks

If you are a fan of action games, I strongly reccomend, you will not regret it.

You can't mention SOR4 and simply not bring into discussion the best track in the game...Spotlight Summersault

I'm playing Yakuza 5 right now.

Completed all of Kiryu's taxi missions though. That eurobeat hits all the right spots. One of the reasons I adore Yakuza 3-5.

Dying Light 1 main theme has sort of that feel. Its worth a listen.

5 is easily the best Yakuza game in terms of gameplay variety, the game is absolutely bonkers with content, and the content actually being fun and not tack on bullshit is insane with how much there is.

0 may be a perfect game in many ways, Kiwami 2 may be the most intense of the series, but 5 is a textbook example of how to give a game unbelievable amounts of sheer value in content.

I fuckin love this series.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

FAR CRY 3 BLOOD DRAGON is what you looking for !

Solid track but Rising up is better. Also it wasn't in the main game unfortunately.

 

[eNT1TY]

ZoE has some bangers:



UT3 does as well:

 

[flying_sq]

Brigador's OST might be your style. Its not hard for me to turn it on and just let it run all day.

The Story Score to CP2077 is fantastic.
