Another topic of discussion. We are trying to find game themes that consist of Buddhist Mantra. I know there are some fighting games that have it. Would like to know any others. If you have any songs in mind, post the names. Like to get a list. Haven't found one online.





Long Live I AM!

This sounds like a job for Nobi! But while we wait, my first thought is for you to check out the very Buddhist-themed Asura's Wrath to see what its soundtrack is like (I never played it). Nobi's write-up is here.

OH BOY DO I HAVE A SONG FOR YOU

While Onmyōdō (陰陽道) isn't a strictly Buddhist thing (it's influenced by Taoism, Buddhism and a ton of folk beliefs) this song incorporates Buddhist style chanting into it so wonderfully! The first time I saw this stage in Matrimelee I could not stop laughing! This music video is great, but the actual stage, replete with singing monks is one of the greatest fighting game stages + themes ever!
