Musical Review: Lost Soul Aside

Listen Later

Bonus Episode #53 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan trudges forward in Lost Soul Aside, Yang Bing's solo passion project that started development in 2014 before evolving into a full Sony-backed production through the China Hero Project.

Our comprehensive review covers everything from the soundtrack to the frustrating audio mixing issues, the impressive visual art direction hampered by technical problems, and the narrative shortcomings that waste a compelling premise. Plus, we reveal our final score and discuss whether Lost Soul Aside's combat excellence can overcome its significant technical and design limitations.
