Intergalactic Combat: The Surprising Secret Behind Its Intensity!

by

In the great majority of games developed by Naughty Dog, battle sequences have played a significant role, even extending to their mascot platformer, Crash Bandicoot, which provided players with a spin attack and the ability to jump on enemies. Over time, third-person shooting mechanics became an essential aspect of Naughty Dog’s gameplay style, as seen in Jak and Daxter, Uncharted, and The Last of Us, all of which adopted shooter gameplay. However, Naughty Dog never lost sight of its melee combat origins, and it appears that Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is revisiting those roots.

Little is known about the game “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet,” but its trailer and promotional artwork hint at a heavy emphasis on close-quarter combat, as the protagonist Jordan Mun is shown wielding a red energy sword in both hands. Engaging in melee combat can be incredibly rewarding in gaming, offering immediate response from an enemy’s character model. “The Last of Us” has laid a solid groundwork for “Intergalactic’s” melee combat, but it seems there’s an innovative aspect coming that isn’t tied to the mechanics themselves.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet’s Soundtrack Could Enhance Its Combat

Intergalactic’s Soundtrack Is Destined for Greatness

As a gaming enthusiast, I myself am in awe of Trent Reznor, the American maestro behind Nine Inch Nails. For almost two decades now, he’s been working hand-in-hand with English composer Atticus Ross. Together under the Nine Inch Nails brand, we’ve been creating music that resonates deeply. But it’s not just music for us; we’ve also ventured into the realm of movie and TV soundtracks, leaving a trail of masterpieces in our wake. Works like those for The Social Network, HBO’s Watchmen, Gone Girl, and Challengers are just a few that have garnered awards, making us a force to be reckoned with in the world of soundtracks.

Despite Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross not having numerous video game composition credits (with Reznor contributing to the theme music for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Ross working on FIFA 17), their exceptional composing skills are evident, and their signature fast-paced electronic rhythms align perfectly with the Sci-Fi ambiance of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

As a fervent fan, I can’t contain my excitement about the upcoming game, “Intergalactic: Heretic Prophet,” composed by the brilliant duo Reznor and Ross. Not only will it feature an original score, but it looks like we might also hear some licensed music in its soundtrack. The reveal trailer ends with our protagonist, Jordan Mun, playing the Pet Shop Boys’ “It’s a Sin” on their retro-futuristic Sony sound system. This iconic 1987 hit serves as a clever nod to the game’s religious narrative themes. With so many CDs still on Mun’s sound system rack, it seems plausible that more licensed tracks will be scattered throughout “Intergalactic.” I can hardly wait!

How Intergalactic’s Music Could Enhance Its Melee Combat

At present, we don’t have many specifics about “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.” However, it’s worth noting that one of the few facts we do know is that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are involved in the music composition. It appears quite likely that the soundtrack for Intergalactic will significantly contribute to gameplay, possibly emphasizing combat by syncing with the player’s attacks using fast-paced techno tunes and basslines.

As a music enthusiast, I can’t help but imagine how the rightfully licensed tunes could elevate the battle sequences into unforgettable moments. The tracks should resonate with the action unfolding on-screen for maximum impact. And let’s not forget about the top-notch audio design that will make every swipe of Mun’s energy sword echo with a futuristic, energetic punch!
