Vampire Survivors has a killer soundtrack and I can't stop listening to it [pt.1]

I think the last time I listened to a soundtrack for a roguelike was back when Dead Cells was first released and I was just loving every second of it. I still listen to that soundtrack from time to time, hell I've even met the guy who made the soundtrack, and it's still quite good. Vampire Survivors however is on a whole different level I think.

I've talked about Vampire Survivors in this journal before so I won't go too far into it other than simply, if you haven't played it yet, pick it up and do yourself a favor and play just one round. You'll instantly be hooked by the gameplay mechanics as well as the stellar soundtrack that fits nicely in every situation you find yourself in during your playthrough. I want to talk about that here today:

It happens a lot, honestly. Roguelikes specifically have a way about them where the gameplay and the music always seem to fit nicely together. But I mean this sincerely, Vampire Survivors just brings it to a whole new level. Every track that I've heard so far is catchy and fits the theme of the level that accompanies it. Some of my favorite ones are ones that you'll hear in the first few levels of the game, which is just a testament to its quality. It reels you in right from the get go. And for a long time, the music for the first level was a constant play for me:

Spoiler for catchy tune:

Then I got to the 2nd level and realized that this was my new favorite song from the OST:

Spoiler for another catchy tune:

^Lemme tell ya, this was my favorite track for a long time and I constantly went to the level just to hear a good solid half hour of this song on loop. All these songs do it well, as far as looping is concerned. It never feels overdone or anything because you have so much going on in the gameplay aspect that you hardly notice. You just vibe to it, and it's a good vibe. However, despite the previous two being personal favorites of mine, I have another new favorite that surpasses even these 2, and this one is one I will surely have on loop for weeks to come:

^This one in particular I think is one of my favorite tracks on any gaming ost that I've heard in a long time. It's got everything. A good vibe, great instrumentals, and it's so god damn catchy that you can't not listen to it for hours on end. Hell I have it playing in the background on my tv in the living room right now.
