HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blue Marble | 2019]

Kinda like if you meshed Ogre Battle, FF Tactics, Front Mission and a host of other excellent tunes. The pitched pads are seeeexxxxy. Give me moar daddy UwU~

[Curse of the Calamari Queen III | 2019]

Can you hook me up with the Midi to this one? I think I can make a killer collab outta this :3
Something to up the belied unsettling feeling just over the horizon...this screams Akira Yamaoka!!

(If that's alright with you :))

Bertn1991 responds:

I've sent the requested files, good sir. Excited ^______^

[Trumpet Zone | 2021]

Where's the brass?? 0/5 Deuauaaaaa~
But nice piano work nonetheless. You got some mad talent!

Bertn1991 responds:

Full disclosure, the trumpet is all the darn way at the end and it's not special at all lol

[Vimori & EDEXY - Only (Frostfyre Records Release)]

This is fire! Nice breakdown at 1:07.
Nice switch ups with the beat and always something to keep the listener engaged. Great production as usual :)

edexy responds:

We are really appreciate your comment dude! Thanks

[Dragon Beats]

Damn, this is DOPE. All of the 90's goodness crammed here. Kinda feels like a blend of Secret of Mana and Streets of Rage.

Sykozealot responds:

Now you got me thinking about what ifs....like

What if there was a Streets of Rage style Chrono Trigger game....or

What if there was a Chrono Trigger style Streets of Rage game?

[Glimmer Of Hope]

This is cool. Funky, has a ton of drive and very epic! Love that groovy bass and the chip tune work is decent :D

[Ascend]

Love those chip-tune drums, that phat bass* and the funky ass melodies. Really quite catchy. Reminds me of some fan-made Phantasy Star remixes.

Sykozealot responds:

Only Phantasy Star game I have played is "Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis" played it for about 3.1 hours on steam...I think if I played any of the other titles in there hay day I would of gotten a lot of nostalgia for those games but I just never got into them ^^

[Via Lacrimosa]

It's like if you mixed Castlevania with Pokemon and final fantasy. Very cool subdued and somber melody here with cool Bache-styled rhythmic work.

[Dies Irae II ~ Alternate Version]

Nice work with the syncopation and harmonies are real strong. Love the 1:50 segment the best too...great climax! 2:10 has a nice Zelda-esque rhythm going to it. I think if u cut at 0:22, it could be a perfect loop as a WAV or .OGG. And use 0-0:21 as an intro thang.

[Via Lacrimosa ~ Alternate Version]

First third sounded like 007, then it evolves into a cool Castlevania-ish SoTN kinda thing. Cool original work there! Love the depth of the lows especially!
