Dragon Project's first soundtrack volume is a monster-hunting mobile game score that punches at console quality. The main theme (Ryuuin) sets a heroic, dragon-slaying tone immediately, and "Tatsu wo Utsu Kiba" (The Fang That Slays Dragons) drives the title screen with urgent orchestral power.

The special version of that title track elevates it even further. The battle BGMs are organized by biome and each one nails its environment. "Nessa no Daichi" brings desert heat, "Ginsetsu no Sanmyaku" captures frigid mountain peaks, and "Fukaki Shinrin" immerses you in dense forest canopy.
"Semari Kuru Kyoei" (The Approaching Giant Shadow) ramps up the tension for big boss encounters, while "Fate of Hounds" gives the player guild their own combat anthem. The scenario tracks show real storytelling range, from "Silvi no Urei" (Silvi's Melancholy) to the adventurous "Kaizoku Musume no Daikoukai" (The Pirate Girl's Great Voyage).
The blacksmith Bordon and the merchant Pikke each get character themes, which gives the hub city genuine life. For a 2017 mobile action RPG, the compositional depth here is remarkable.
