It's AWFUL!

rustinpeace91: It's AWFUL!
It's not that it's awful, it's just completely out of place. This soundtrack would be great for a space shmup, for example, but it does grate the ears in a fantasy RPG.

Sadly, you can't turn the music off. There doesn't seem to be any audio options whatsoever. I guess you could mute your computer? :/

However, after playing for a couple of hours, you do get used to the music. I was very annoyed by it at first - again, because it doesn't fit the theme at all - but I kind of like it now. :)
I too find the music very annoying!! even after a playing for 45 mins or so it was bad enough to make me stop playing the game even though I was enjoying the game play.. I am going to dig through the files to see if there is a way to force the music off ( did this in the old days by placing a dummy empty file in the place of the music file ) I will post here of my luck.

Check the Steam forums for the game, I think they found a method how to do it.
I don't actually think it's out of place; it's just out of era. Older fighting style games often had music like this in otherwise-fantasy environments.

The music reminds me of when I was playing Wizardry I and Might & Magic I a few years back, with Industrial music in the background (as both games don't have any). Given that the game kinda scratches the same itch, I find it actually quite fitting.

It would be nice though if the audio levels of the various tracks weren't all over the place. Especially when playing at night it's quite annoying to constantly having to adjust the volume on the amplifier…

I'll check it out. Unfortunatley I have a mac so if it's hidden in like "appdata" or something I'm sort of out of luck.

Ugh. THis game looks pretty awesome other wise but its' the type of game where I'd be listening to something while I play it, like music or podcasts. That really really sucks that they don't have audio options and honestly if I knew that I wouldn't have bough tit

Actually, it's very simple - just switch off the music for the app in your sound settings, if you can do that in Mac like it's possible in Windows in the sound mixer. ;)

I just realized that I had thought of this before, but for some reason I didn't think of it this time until I saw the thread where other people suggested the very same thing.
I love it!!!

But I see how some would find it irritating...

I had forgotten that you could control sound app-by-app!

Really? Are you sure? I'm in sound settings right now and I can only control my inputs and outputs, not individual apps. a quick google search told me that it's not possible either.

One solution would be to rout what I want to hear (say youtube) through my audio interface via sound flower and just turn off the other outputs. But that's such a pain in the butt. Why can't they just add an audio option. This is 2014!

It is possible if you have Windows Vista or 7 which most users here have. For any of these it works and a quick google search should tell you it's possible, for example is the first result of my search. If you don't have either of the two you should say so before saying that it's not possible (esp. when the user above you also confirms it can be done) because apparently it's not possible on Win 8, as one user states [url=http://superuser.com/questions/556351/game-sounds-in-windows-8]here:

"As I mentioned here, there's no way to control the volume of individual Metro/Modern UI apps (not unless the app has its own volume control, which is unlikely). Metro apps are all bundled under System Sounds in the Volume Mixer, so it's an all-or-nothing proposition unfortunately.

Edit: Perhaps you can try keeping the main volume high, the System Sounds volume low/muted (which will affect all Metro apps including games), and open YouTube in Desktop IE or other browser."

What were they thinking? No option to mute or lower
the volume of the music?
FFS, someone fix this.
