Four Quarters, Devolver and Laced Records are united in their quest to bring great video game music to revolving physical objects.

The Loop Hero double LP is equipped with light blue and orange heavyweight vinyl, with 30 specially mastered chiptunes impressed upon them. These will be plunged into printed inner sleeves that in turn are sheathed in a spot glossed wide-spined outer sleeve. The whole package is adorned with artwork by pixel art specialist Dmitry "Deceiver" Karimov and illustrator Alexandra "Bard-the-Zombie" Fomina.

The unique roguelike’s soundtrack pulsates with anxiety, each Gothic-Chiptune track pervaded by a melancholy born of the brave hero’s plight to shatter the endless cycle of despair. Composer, sound and game designer Aleksandr "blinch" Goreslavets uses a simple electronic palette to paint in a hundred shades of grey — with barely a major chord to be found. Amid the gloom, there’s still room for plenty of catchy melodies and a sense of Halloween jocularity, inspired by blinch’s love of the original Castlevania NES trilogy. Loop Hero’s score is beautiful in its forlornness and energising in its more combative moments.
