smooth :O

I wasn't familiar with your work but I'm must say, I'm impressed. I know the word is corny to use nowadays; but it is really EPIC. Technically, the clarity and gravity of the mix are immaculate

Right off the start there the impacts piano melody's and string arpeggios set the mood, the string motifs serves as a good section melody. Good progression atmosphere building, I wish those impacts sound effects weren't as loud and present in the track, it gets a bit tiring after a while. The drop sounds very good at first but gets a bit dull after some time, I wish there were some melody or motifs and not just the chord progression with supersaws and gating variation ( personal taste) .
I dig the switch up at 3:31, keeping the same sonorities but with higher tempo and different composition makes the transition coherent and fresh, I love how sounds that filtered bass, really heavy and clear.

Good drop: again, a matter of personal taste I wish there some melodic and rythmic development, Otherwise, everything sounds good, you're really good for building these very charged yet clear sounding wall of sound. There are so many elements and I can hear all of them distinctly.

At 4:50, there's that low tempo part, really digging that part, the slow down, makes you imagine the hero has been harmed very bad and is rebuilding himself to attack. I like how cinematic/synthwave at this moment the atmosphere is, with its rubbery bass and faint arpeggios.
very good build-up the synth introduced at 5:36 fits perfectly.

Drop at 5:50:
Same complaint as before, although a sort of melody appears at 6:05, but its more of a arpeggio harmonic backing.

Good ending, slow down and there's that kind of vocal synth that sounds like someone dying,
really reminiscent of a cinematic synthwave aesthetic.

In conclusion, I like the track, very impressed by the technical aspects, arrangements and atmosphere building. Nice and bright, good blend of orchestral instruments and trance synths. However, I have trouble to be truly impacted by it, because the drops sound in my opinion musically dull( my only complaint really), I may not be really used to hear that kind of music. This lack of distinctive hook would make the music more suitable as a movie score or video game score IMO.

Thank you so much for the review! :)

Most of my drops are very basic, so yeah I can see the reason for your complaint. Since I don't use Serum or Massive most of the time, I use whatever LMMS has (which is usually ZynAddSubFX) plus ToneZ (which is the only VST I normally use). Most of the time results in basic drops, I try to layer a lot of synths for fullness (most of the time it is just to fill absent yet necessary frequencies).
The low-tempo part took a lot of work, and the initial mix of it is actually a lot different than the final mix (i.e. the rising synth in the background was lot included, along with the crescendo short strings). The synthwave synths were originally going to be just for the uptempo section, but I saw it fit for the low-tempo section as well.
I also noticed you said it lacked something to be suitable for movie score or video game score. Although, the theme was to mimic an adventure from a movie or video game, I wasn't really trying to aim for the song to be suitable for a score (although that would be nice). If I try to make a score-related song, it usually is significantly short than this medley. For example: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/863178

I have done orchestral-electronic combos a lot before. This is just one of the first times I've ever done it in the form of a story. I've done it before, but it wasn't quite as successful:

My past attempt at an orchestral-electronic combo with drops was also not quite as successful either: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/918959

Very good overall, would fit nicely in a video game which seems to be the intention. I like the break style beats and different sound effects and percussions they sound coherent and satisfying to the ear. The main melody exposed by the guitar is very adequate and effective with its simplicity and repetitiveness. The section starting at 3:19 sets the tone with the strings and dramatic piano, I like your choices of synth always complementary with the acoustic instruments. The section at 4:25 is very good, effective bass ostinato with a good tone noisy and hard, I like the instrumental enrichment and progression through time, I'm a sucker for this kind of airy yet heavy atmospheres. I'm not a big fan of the build up before the next section, maybe to edm sounding ? Not really matching the aesthetic of the rest of the track IMO. No complaint however for the part starting at 5:55, the double time drum beat is a good choice for contrast, the intensity is increased until 06:57 with all the epic percussions and tense sound effects without ever sounding harsh. I like how you go back to the first melody before unleashing the heaviest part, it's like the calm before the storm. The section at 7:25 is also very good, I like that you varied the bass motif and the synths arpeggios and sound effects and piano merge beautifully. Nothing more to say from 8:35 as it is a repetition of the previous part.
In short, I very liked the track, very cinematic and intense, good sound designs, effects and arrangement. Complaints: the build-up at 5:25, and 8:28, and filtered supersaws at the beginning may sound a bit too edm for the intended sound imo. Also, it seems limited at -9db I don't really understand the intension behind it as it kills some dynamic range and make it unusually quiet.
