Dark Fantasy

Louise Blain looks at music for games which reflect some of the
darker aspects of the fantasy realm and probes the hybrid world
of Metroidvania. And she's joined by composer Gareth Coker who
talks about creating the score for the two 'Ori' games and also
the light-hearted venture into Greek mythology, 'Immortals -
Fenyx Rising'.


Featured scores in the programme include Salt and Sanctuary, Nioh
2, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Axiom Verge, Guacamelee! 2, Ender
Lilies - Quietus of the Knights, Ori and the Blind Forest, Ori
and the Will o'the Wisps, Immortals - Fenyx Rising, and this
month's HiScore - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
