My apologies Deadlock, I wasn't familiar with your (musical) game

Yeah, yeah, I'm the Hidden King.

My apologies Deadlock, I wasn't familiar with your (musical) game

In this piece, the author discusses their newfound appreciation for MOBAs, specifically focusing on Valve's game Deadlock. Initially, the writer was not a fan of MOBAs due to their complexity and high skill ceiling. However, they were intrigued by Deadlock after hearing positive reviews from friends. The article highlights the game's impressive soundtrack, which complements its eerie aesthetic and builds anticipation throughout gameplay.

The main menu, hidden king lobby, character select screen, and item draft jingle all feature distinct tracks that evoke a sense of 1950s New York and supernatural rituals. The author particularly praises the ticking clock motif in the item draft jingle, which adds tension as players race to select their items before the round begins.

Overall, the writer was impressed by Deadlock's music, which they believe successfully enhances the game's atmosphere and contributes to the MOBA genre's appeal.
