Let's play Star Wolf!
a 3-D space RPG, or so they say.
A trailer you can watch:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FQIzhP9itk
Intro: Human space empire is governed by the Prime Minister, who is controlled by the Emperer. Economics of the Empire are under the total control of three mega corporations. etc etc etc
This is you! Hotshot pilot!
Of a freighter...
'We have guests.'
Pirates!
You escaped in a pod.
2nd Intro starts when you click start.
You meet your new 'bubby' in a bar.
'Ah, if there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say.'
Meanwhile, outside the spacestation, a ship approaches, chased by fighters.
The pilot.
'That's my craft!'
'Looks like we will be losing our high-end equipment and will be starting with noob stuff. And this isn't even the sequel!'
Ace's ship getting away.
Create your character.
You are stuck with this portrait as well as voice and gender.
But you can change your name and select your specialisation. They are Piloting, Gunner, Rockets and Electronic Warfare
For specialisation, I choose Electronic Warfare cos I know Pi to a thousand places!
Ace is your only party member at the start, you can select his Perks.
Here you can change your ships' equipment.
The mothership is called Star Wolf. It is a converted transport ship.
You start with a 'Naginata', a 1st generation Light Attack Fighter. The current generation is 3rd.
It has 2 light guns, 2 rocket pods and 1 system.
Ace is flying a 'Yari', an interceptor.
It has 1 big gun and 1 system.
You have an extra ship in the hanger, the specialist fighter 'Hatchet'. It has more 'system' slots but is a weak fighter.
Trading screen. Items are randomly generated after each mission.
News screen.
Our first mission.
Mission Starto!
BTW, there is hardly any speech in this game.
'Some say its so the player can better imagine himself in the characters shoes I personally believe thats baloney and the dev's are trying to save some $$$ on speech.'
But at least your character talks... mumbles will be more accurate.
Fly to 'Oxygen' Station.
Map view. You can give commands here.
'For this dialogue there are choices but not much consquences.'
Its weird without voice over. Maybe the German original has?
Fly to Nav 'Alpha'.
Nothing there.
Warning! Warning! UFO detected!
A trailer hiding behind, they are the treasure chests of space games.
Your ships will fight automatically according to your 'behaviour'. You can select targets and use special skills.
'These yellow shirts are no match against our superior skills and equipment. We can also reload if things go wrong.'
'But won't that take away the challenge?'
'Sure, but remember this is a 3-D space RPG, not a 3-D space tactical game. We reload in RPGs.'
Star Wolf will automatically tractor in loot when it is close.
To nav 'Gamma'. Enemy detected!
More bad guys.
I just turn on special abilities view. The off means missiles cannot be fired. Ace has 1 use for his special ability 'sniper'.
'Last nav point! Nothing!'
'Good luck! 'Oxygen'! We Wolves are now gonna kill you and take your stuff!'
'Navy reinforcements!'
'Kill them take their stuff!'
'Hold on, these are 3rd generation fighters, we can't kill them. If only I hadn't lost my ship.'
'Good luck! 'Oxygen' indeed!'
Yes.
'But the publisher says this a 3-D space RPG, you said its a 3-D space RPG!'
'Lets debate whether this game is an RPG while calling each other childish names.'
'Lets not shall we?'
'The bigger question is whether this LP will end before finishing the game.'
Time consuming indeed. Hope you guys at least get a sense of this game in case I never finish this. I played till the 4th or 5th mission before restarting as a Let's Play Thread.
