Overall Impression (9/10)

Very nice module, great effort. Since it's a track meant for one of your games, I can understand that it's meant to loop continuously. As I'm typing this, this song has already looped 8 times in OpenMPT.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (10/10)

I absolutely love the bell-like pad (sample 7) and how the pitch of it changes ever so slightly in a wacky fashion. The bassline (sample 8) is really nice as well and sounds really crisp and clean when listening with a set of Beyerdynamic DT 770s. However, I'm not too keen on the tom sample (sample 6); when I hear it at a high pitch, it just...sounds odd to me. I dunno, I think that's just me, I'm sure others may like it more than I do. I will concede, however, that the detail in the drums otherwise is very well rounded and put together in a professional fashion.

Development (7/10)

If I may guess, you really paid attention to the mix for all the samples...except for the bass (sample 8). It sounds just a bit too loud. However, regarding other samples, the bell-like pad (sample 7) seems a bit on the quiet side. However, I can hear both samples just fine, so although I do believe sample 7 should be louder and sample 8 should be only slightly quieter, I wouldn't necessarily say it HAS to be that way.

Creativity (9/10)

I really, really like the tempo of the song. 160 beats per minute and a 5 tick/row speed (which, when played back with OpenMPT, choosing Player > Approximate Real BPM, it comes back at 192 BPM), it really sounds like it would fit rather well with a battle in a JRPG game given its speed. The melody fits really well with the correlating instruments. The drums are ordered in a catchy rhythm. What more could I want? The answer is nothing; this track has its very slight flaws, but it's a great track overall.

Enjoyment (6/10)

Despite the fact that it is only a little bit repetitive, the kick drum and the bell-like pad that I mentioned before really stand out to me. Honestly, this is staying in my collection. I really like this.
