Great tune. Melody is memorable, drivings sections head me bobbing my head, arrangement is good.
The big issue is the mix. Everything felt very dry and unfinished. For example, the lead melody, in my opinion, should have much more top end brightness and quite a bit of reverb to give it that “epic” feel.
Drums + bass needed more impact, etc.
Overall, it just felt like it wasn’t mixed or mastered and sort of flat sounding. Have a listen to a finished complextro tune and A/B them to see what I mean:
completely agree, i definitely have to work on the masterin/mixing… kinda bumped this one out quickly, in about a day, i need to spend more time fine tuning things… I should also add that im currently mixing on crappy desktop speakers, my monitors are coming in next week, I hope to be more precise as its hard to fine tune the eq on my current setup… thanks for the feedback, much appreciated to get detailed advice
is it better now??

New mastered version:
Yes – much! I still some judicious application of reverb on certain elements such as the opening melody would do great things.
What room are you producing in? Maybe it has lots of natural reverb so you’re not applying enough?
