"Mayhem Rock City" and "Concrete Jungle" deliver the urban grit, while tracks named after classic games and films like "Altered Beast" and "The Warriors" wear their influences proudly on their sleeve. The supernatural side of the game gets its own distinct musical identity.

Boss tracks like "Chainado," "Lady Vermin," and "Apex Hunter" each have their own flavor matching the specific villain you're squaring off against, which gives the boss fights real personality. The level progression through the tracklist tells a story of escalation.
You start at "The Old Docks" and work your way through "Sewer Network," "Metahuman Labs," and up "Corporate Ladders" to "The Rooftop" for the climactic showdowns.
