However do not be fooled into thinking you get to pick your waifu. Which sounds totally dumb yet endearing at the same time.
The very first words you are greeted with as you turn on the game are ‘Love in Space’. I called it a visual novel because it plays out like one, and because I’m pretty sure that was the intent. By leaving you alive, Pork Chops practically assures a rescue mission attempt. We would get so much villain stuff done because I don’t make these retarded mistakes. WHY DID PORK CHOPS NOT BLOW YOU UP NOW THAT THE TARGET WAS NO LONGER ON YOUR SHIP? Christ, sometimes I wish that I could be the villain. Pork Chop’s men secure the target, bringing the target over to their ships, then VACATES THE AREA. When Pork Chop realizes that the target is on your ship, they tell their men to stop firing. There’s a bounty on your head, so they tell their men to fire on you. Pork Chop gets an entire fleet to surround you, there’s no way out. Colonel Pork Chop was tasked with capturing the a high value target that happens to be on your ship. We’ll get that ancient technology in the next game (probably).Īlso, terrible villains. But who am I kidding, you and I both know that it’s just sequel bait. And like in Valkyria Chronicle, I wonder to myself if it would not be more interesting to play in that war, rather than the one today. It just boggles my mind because I can’t come up with too much in the way of plausible justifications. What you have is a civilization that used to rule the galaxy, they had an internal conflict, that got resolved somehow, and in that resolution all of this super fancy technology got lost. We’re comparing the technology of two different civilizations. Why is 2016 technology less advanced than 1945 technology? The key difference is the location. There are people living on Indonesian islands today, which, should they ever join the civilized world and look through history, they’ll see that the United States completed an atomic bomb capable of leveling cities in 1945. Let me be clear, this is not inherently bad. The mistake is in ancient civilizations having more powerful technology than ours today. But the game makes this mistake and I hate when this mistake is made because I can very rarely find a good way to justify it. Everyone knows about them because they still exist today in a drastically weakened state. There’s also an ancient civilization that used to rule the galaxy. The rest of the game we follow Captain Shields and his quest to take revenge for his planet. If you choose anything other than become a pirate, you probably hate fun. After that, you can choose to fly the flag of your old military OR become a pirate. But before you go, you get to see Alderaan Cera blown up by their Death Star Legion’s powerful laser. On the day of her field test, you are attacked and your field test has to be cut short as you run away from superior firepower. You were given the command of a ship called the Sunrider (roll credits). Though another character is named Kryska Stares so… it’s a close battle. You play Kayto Shields which might be the dumbest name I’ve ever seen in a visual novel. War will break out, and planets will be massacred… (dun dun dun) The Solar Alliance wishes to remain neutral, but that can only be maintained for so long. The Neutral Rim is slowly being taken over by the evil Empire PACT. In that same vein, they feel necessary due to the way that the story is written. They seemed only to artificially increase the playtime. I had originally hoped that it would focus more on the strategy game but as I played it, I realized that the battles were kind of a waste. This is a visual novel and tactical turn-based strategy game.
So I sought out the sequel, it was free so no harm, no foul. I had a few guesses, namely that New Game gave me a laundry list of options and I’m like “Hmm… there’s an import button there to import an old save. I had actually bought the sequel on sale without knowing that it was a sequel. A week without a computer and a week to play the next game. You know what that means… endlessly playing my 3DS while I wait to return to the internet! But yeah, I wouldn’t get my hopes up over a post for two weeks or something. I will be without a computer for a week-ish as it ships out to my new home.
