Sound Producer: Shinji Hosoe

Info

This is a multiplayer robot fightin’ game, similar in gameplay to the Custom Robo series and made by some former staff from the series. Shinji Hosoe is the game’s sound producer, but I haven’t seen full credits for the game so I’m not 100% positive that other people from SuperSweep didn’t also contribute music.

Synaptic Drive has five tracks and they’re not like the music I remember from the earlier Custom Robo games that Hosoe worked on (but which I haven’t listened to in ages); instead, we’ve got some harder-edged electronica with loud drums. There’s some cool sound design bits here and there, but I mostly wasn’t super engaged with the music beyond that.

Recommended track:

  • BGM03 has the SuperSweep chords you’re looking for
