BGMania B-Sides: Brain Lord

Listen

Description

BGMania B-Sides #27 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth is diving deep into Brain Lord, a lesser-known action RPG developed by Produce! and published by Enix for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1994.

While Brain Lord may not have reached the same heights of popularity as some of its Enix brethren, its soundtrack, composed by Masanao Akahori, offers a surprisingly rich and varied experience that deserves more recognition. From somber dungeon melodies to upbeat overworld themes, this score captures the tone of the game's puzzle-heavy journey with nuance and charm.
