The composition is very strong as usual. I just wish you would use a better quality sample library.

Good work!

I must say, those eyes in the image are pretty creepy! The track also has a very impending doom quality with a touch of hope mixed in, conjured up some interesting images.

I wish too I'd have better sounds, but they are quit expensive

I liked that Mark. Made me think of trolls, magical but clumsy.

No no!

I'm just another melancholy man who have listened the Moody Blues at sixties.

The trolls in the illustration appear to be a lot more likeable than many that I have come across in the past. This piece of music is definitely an appropriate musical accompaniment for the creatures in your image. A sombre, but, at the same time, pleasant piece of music.

Good work

I like the composition! Not sure you need more expensive sample libraries as much as a bit more attention to detail in the programming. Unfortunately, that gets boring and tedious pretty fast. If your interest is more in the composition, and you are less interested in the sound itself, I wouldn't worry about it too much. We can appreciate the composition this way too.

Even a little bit of volume automation/expression and vibrato (better with pitch bend than an LFO) would go a long way to making the samples come to life more. You have a couple of small crescendos, but much of the instrumentation is a bit static.

But the sound and programming is exactly what you want if you are going for the retro gaming sound. This would definitely fit a retro flavoured game very well (and your image).
