...and it is awesome.
Seriously, this was amazing. The game was varied and interesting: fighting each race was a unique experience, and flying Infi was just brilliant. Wish there could have been more missions with him. Loved the feeling of being an unstoppable ubership capable of annihilating entire fleets single-handedly.
Ship designs were good, especially the... erm, Crystal People. Can't remember how to spell their name. Anyway, their Adasya was among the most unique and coolest things I've seen put into the game. Mission design was for the most part imaginative and interesting, but occasionally unintuitive (
still don't know where the hell the entrance on the Cordi mothership was, for instance, and there was no hint that I could see as to where to find it).
As for the story and humor, I pretty much had a big grin on my face all the way through. The anime-esque story, the character interactions, the hilarious Lampshadings and shout outs... I do kind of wish the outro had a bit more to it: I don't know, some kind of ending scene with all the characters celebrating, but whatever, still good. Loved the use of Gundam music, but I felt like the soundtrack jumped around a lot, as if it kept cycling through completely different battle songs in the same mission.
I also appreciated the depth of background material. Hell of a universe you've constructed, Spoon. Definitely has potential for more storylines, and I'd love to see more done with it.
Now, complaints: Zy capital ships where?
Those things sound awesome, but they never make an appearance.
Okay, seriously: besides the minor stuff I mentioned earlier, new weapons were introduced at such a pace I felt like I was scrambling to keep track of them all, and since they were usually referred to by serial number rather than a unique name, I had a hard time telling them apart. Crystal's ship was fast and powerful, which was nice, but hard as **** to maneuver precisely in... controls were hyperresponsive. Further, I could never figure out how the glide worked. Pressing Shift accomplished nothing (I only mess with targeting controls when customizing, I doubt I could have screwed something up). I use a joystick, does that make a difference?
So, all-in-all, excellent work, and I hope to see more of this mod in the future.
