“It was a great experience working with coda as he is an extremely talented composer,” comments OMEGA STRIKE developer Lauri Paakinaho. “coda’s work helped bringing the audio of OMEGA STRIKE to a new level.”
“I’m a huge fan of classic run ‘n’ gun and metroidvania games,” notes coda. “For the soundtrack, I was specifically inspired by the Game Boy Advance sound from games like Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, as well as the Nintendo DS Castlevania games, and the atmospheric arrangements of SNES and PSX classics like Super Metroid and Metal Gear Solid.”
