“I have chills. Literal chills right now. Composer and senior game audio coordinator at Tencent Mason Lieberman has collaborated with Sunrise Entertainment and Funimation to bring us my new favorite song."

“What IS striking is the music [Mason] used in the trailer, apparently a taster of an eclectic mix including hip hop and “anime-inspired” rock from a bunch of talented artists. Much as I love some good chiptunes, this is exactly the kind of freshness I need in my life.”

Dominic Tarason (Contributor for Rock Paper Shotgun)

“...レトロテイストなグラフィックに対して、サウンドは豪華仕様。ゲストアーティストが多数参加し、ステージごとに多彩なジャンルのBGMを楽しめる。日本版ではボーカル曲の歌詞も翻訳バージョンがしっかり用意されているあたり、さすがDANGEN Entertainmentといったところだ。 Translated: The graphics have a retro feeling, and the soundtrack is incredibly rich. Due to the many guest artists, the player has the possibility of enjoying different BGM genres throughout the stages. In the Japanese version there are also translated vocal songs included; that must be Dangen Entertainment for you.”

"The neon-pixel art looks nice in screens and better in motion, and even if none of the preceding was true it [Renaine] would still be worth checking out for the upbeat, jazzy soundtrack."

James Cunningham (Staff Writer for Hardcore Gamer)

"Mason Lieberman’s “CHALLENGE MODE” is an invigorating rock tune with jazzy tones, synthesizer accompaniment, and powerful drumming. There is some excellent guitar work and performance present in this piece and it features an exciting melody as well. While it is a bit more modern compared to the soundtrack, it does still retain some classic feel."

Don Kotowski (Japanese coverage leader at Video Game Music Online)

“One of the preview’s last levels, set in a Jungle, has a really impactful track from Mason Lieberman and Zaid Tabani that has a catchy beat that crescendos into a savage, mighty last 30 seconds. I genuinely got goose bumps as the track came to an end and I crossed the levels finish line. The blend of music intensity and game play vigour works very well here.”
