About project
Cradle of Empires, developed by G5 Entertainment, is a thrilling casual match-3 adventure set against the dramatic backdrops of ancient Egypt and Rome. The game challenges players with crafty match-3 levels that unlock a spellbinding narrative of miraculous revivals amid hostile surroundings. At Archibaldi Studio, we elevated this immersive experience by crafting audio that perfectly complements the historical and mystical themes of the game.

Our Approach
At Archibaldi Studio, our journey with Cradle of Empires began by delving into the rich tapestry of ancient civilizations to capture their mystique and grandeur.
We meticulously crafted soundscapes that invite players to dive deep into the game’s compelling narrative, blending epic orchestral compositions with authentic ambient effects that evoke bustling ancient streets and monumental architecture.
One of our key challenges was balancing the powerful musical themes with precise sound cues that guide players through each match-3 puzzle and narrative twist. By experimenting with layered instrumentation and nuanced sound design, we created an auditory experience that reflects both the struggle of reviving empires and the allure of hidden secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Curious to hear how we brought ancient legends to life? Check out our full music album, video, and detailed reviews below!
