Sweet, sweet victory

Postby spinelesscoward » Mon Dec 10, 2012 3:05 am

That feel when you've never gotten past level 6 and you somehow get all the way to level 8 with the basic Kestrel.
That feel when you kill the final boss on normal in the same game.
That feel when you also get 6 game achievements and 1 ship achievement.
That feel when you also unlock the Zlotan ship along the way.

Some bragging rights pics.

And this was basically the song playing in my head during the whole outro.

Oh boy, anyone else with games that they're really proud of?

wow, you got double burst laser II, thats something i always dreamed of and never had. multiple burst laser II is imo the most powerful weapon combo.

btw.: my first win with the steahlth cruiser type b was when i got a weapon preigniter from a surrendering ship right in sector 1. until sector 4 or 5 i just one shotted every single encounter right at the start of the battle and on the way i got ion bomb and ion blast II for the bigger shields of sector 6-8. i finnished the game with glaive beam, ion bomb, hull laser II and an offensive drone and defensive drone both mark I. the final boss died faster than i could rebalance my power for defensive purposes and use cloak etc. ... literally.

i would say that was my sweetest game ever.

ah well re-reading the topic, i cant really be proud of it... in that matter it was simply the most stupid and lucky and easy game i have ever had. :P

32 games (50:50 easy/normal) and no victory for me so far :(
Got to the very end twice, but due to lack of understanding of the last battle's mechanisms I lost because I went to wrong places and got the "flagship too close to base - game over" thing, even though it had jumped to the beacon I was in.

Chin up Megas Domestikos, you're nearly there. It takes about 30-40 attempts for most people. It's gonna be the sweetest thing when you watch it break up into pieces.

But be warned, the boss likes to cheat, so be prepared for a nasty fight.

Got really close with Zoltan ship. The flagship had only 4 hull before that damn missile salvo took me :(

Should've taken out the missile first.

But I believe I will get my first win with Zoltan ship, it's really nice with its starting laser.
