Not great value for the money spent
Having quite a few of Eduardo's libraries, this is one I regret buying.
There are not a lot of instruments and the ENGINE plugin acts in a weird way with some instruments with this library only, for example the note just cuts off when using a bowed instrument at random times, I have reached out to Best Service but have not received any usable help.
There seems to be a lot of work put into the soundscapes (where the reverb seems to go all in to cover the dullness) but voices and instruments are extremely limited. The percussion is okay, but most percussion is split up into multiple versions of the same instrument where a lot only have 4 to 10 keys assigned at most, these could just as well be combined into 1 instrument which then leaves you with a very unsatisfying percussion library.
Overall, it feels like it is a rushed and incomplete library that was quickly put together to jump on the "Vikings" bandwagon.
