Inspired by Nobou Uematsu’s “Final Fantasy Legend” work, “Assault on Castle Dreadpathia” is the soundtrack to the top-down action-adventure game of the same name. From the original game release blurb:

Townsfolk have been mysteriously disappearing in the dead of the night, and the howl of wights looms large. As such, the Shitty Wizard agrees (for money) to infiltrate Castle Dreadpatia, collect and burn seven bells plus fourteen body parts of the hastily-named Baron Bludd, and restore order to Annwvyn.
