This track is called "BGM BatBoss"! Dusk Diver 2 was an amazing game 🥹 the game's combat system was a ton of fun, and the soundtrack absolutely slapped! The district of Ximending felt so full of life as well, and featured actual locations from the real Ximending! It was an awesome experience!

This track is called "Queening"! Dusk Diver 2 is an amazing game 🥹 it's a lowkey banger! The game's version of Ximending was so much fun to explore, and had tons of details from the actual Ximending, it was so cool! The game also had a fantastic cast of characters and a bumping OST, it was awesome!
