While Cuphead mirrors the music prominent in the 1930s, Shovel Knight looks to mirror specifically game music around the late 1980s and 1990s.īoth games make use of different tones, frequencies and melodies to convey certain moods, and make their tracks fit the theme of the level or situation whilst keeping their strict theming and instrumentations.Shovel Knight is a platform video game developed and published by Yacht Club Games. Cuphead, however, is meant to mimic a much older sound than Shovel Knight is. However, one key similarity is that both games soundtracks are purposefully old-fashioned to fit the theme of the game. Where Cuphead’s soundtrack is entirely made from real instruments and orchestras, Shovel Knight’s is entirely computer-generated. The main, and possibly most important different is the instrumentation. To compare the two game soundtracks isn’t so difficult.
Unlike the boss music, this track uses quite upbeat, or otherwise exciting melodies, and lacks any sinister and angry tones.
This is one of the very first levels, meaning the music purposefully invokes a feeling of joy, adventure and exploration. This is another track from Shovel Knight, and whilst it’s still very 8-bit inspired, this one has a very different overall tone and theme.
