Any games like The Lords of Thunder?

[takashirose]

Are there any games for the Turbo Duo that are like "The Lords of Thunder" in terms of music and graphics and style?  I just love the neo-classical heavy metal in the game.  I think the game is a work of genius because of that.

If you like Lords' music, you should definitely check out Sapphire.  You might also dig some of the guitar work in Super Darius 2.

Although I don't remember it having a metal soundtrack, Sylphia is a another fun quality fantasy themed game. Its probably the closest you'll come to LOT in graphics and style

If you're interested in another quality shooter, even if it has a very different artistic theme, Magical Chase is often compared to LOT.

I always found Magical Chase to be a little similar to Lords as well, despite the huge style difference.

[GUTS]

Also, despite the huge style differences, JJ & Jeff is similar to Lords.

why go so far and don't pick up a gate of thunder straightly? oke, the theme is different (more a space shooter), but the BGM rox anything away! especially the 2nd last stage!!

IIRC, Sapphire's music is from the same band that did Lords of Thunder.

Does anybody know what the name of the band is that did the sdtrk for Lords?

I know that "T's Music" did the music for both games. I don't know if they count as a "band" though. I always thought it was just one guy.

GoT and Sapphire (on the PCE) are as close as you'll get in terms of soundtracks.

I've never played Magical Chase.  Cotton is awesome as hell and the music is very catchy and rocking.

There's not much else on the US Duo.

On the PCE, Sylphia is slow, vertical-scrolling, outrageously expensive and doesn't have a very metal soundtrack.  I would strongly reccommend Super Raiden to anyone over Sylphia.

How are the soundtracks on Rayxanber 3, Spriggan 1 & 2, Macross 2036, and Nexzr?

From what I can gather, T's Music, is a whole bunch of different guys, but, not specifically a band.

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah, T's Music also did Super Monkey Ball 1&2. 

As you can imagine, they sound almost exactly like Lords of Thunder.

T's Music also did the soundtrack for Splash Lake and Riot Zone. I think Ozzie the Ostrich (from Splash Lake) shows up as a cameo in Lords Of Thunder because of this.

Really? Where? I own both games, and I've played all through Lords of Thunder up until partway through the final "land" and I never noticed Ozzie. Unless he appears in the second half of the final stage or the boss fight...

Taking the broad view, there are about a hundred games like LoT out there, but honestly though there is nothing like LoT. Its unique. Not only because of the fanatsy metal theme (which is rad) but because it has a nice easy difficulty level, decent level design, etc. Its pretty great.

If you want to try something cool though, you can play my LoT remix where I took all the T's music out, and replaced with "real" metal acts like the ones that obviously inspired the T's music originals. Think of it as an alternate way of enjoy a great game.
