Hexcells is cool. Way too short, though.
Negro por favor, you just salty you made a screenshot that is half UI, thus easily recognized by image search engines.Pfff! You don't even know the correct name of the game.

Got 'em.
The Styg school of game development right there, no more than two people needed.
And a special thanks to Shrimp-Boss to end the credits.

It's one of the last fights.
You fight against Aurelia, I read in the Blackguards thread that she doesn't necessarily fight you depending on the decisions you make during the game, so maybe you don't mandatorily do this fight (I personally did).

Just some quick posing!

Grand prize to the first person who can name the game and the book the text is inspired by.
Eh. The Hegemony in Terra Nova, as described by the manual and in-game, is a weird mutant. It's not quite Plato-like, it's more of a mutant of Communism with a human face (it's not outright genocidal, it's focused on the well-being of his citizens above all) with tons of POWER TO THE BUREAUCRACY. It's pretty much the opposite of the Starship Troopers model: it's a state of bureaucrats controlling the soldiers, focused on universalism and globalism, bent on sacrificing even History (that's considered a crime, due to Nationalism) to mantain its grip on power. Still more intredasting than the Centaurians, that were pretty much national stereotypes IN SPEEEESH.
And then in the game they are a bunch of crazies focused on "genetical purity" and clone armies. What the heck. But the campaign was a mess in any case.
You have to do this fight even if you do the 'good choices', Aurelia's only replaced by a superpowered lizard wizard in that case. She joins you afterwards for the final fight, though, so it's not without difference.

When in doubt, become really, really, really tiny:

Yes, the game is obviously inspired by Starship Troopers, but the society it describes sounds a bit like an extreme version of Sweden but with all capitalism removed. Or a Utopia that is imperialistic and are not shy of genocide.
Based on what I read in the in-game "Library". I didn't read it all, but the Hegemony seemed like a weird mix of ruthlessness and philantophism.

Characters 1 and 2 should really switch names. Or at least portraits.

The funny thing is, nothing matters in the campaign. The description we find is merely world-building. I do like the thing (as I appreciated the world building attempts made in the old Origin games).
It's, methinks, another face of the generic "fear" typical of the mid-90' about the "End of History": if the WEC in Crusader: No Regret/No Remorse is the Capitalist version (the stock soulless megacorp focused only on profit and ready to bulldoze borders, nations and people for it) the Hegemony reflects some kind of "fear" of cultural domination: there is a single, global power that preaches homogeneity, and your culture has to go 'cause the government says so. Sum with the typical left focus of "Welfare in exchange of rights" and you have the foil to your typical "Megacorp" dystopia.
But again, nothing matters in-game.
