The endgame leaves one slightly unsatisfied - I think it would have been better for the option to exist to return to the starting bay and then have additional randomized scenarios so that you could continue your crew's adventures (and probably a way to add new crew members given the inevitable losses that occur). That would have then really driven the 'Thieve's World/Sanctuary in space' context that the introduction hinted at - and random scenarios might make the skirmish part of the game more 'crunchy' and allow the terrain to be more involved (elevation could eliminate cover)
Well, that was good fun - I did think about not watching this last episode to avoid spoilerising it for a future playthrough, but as I have zero willpower that didn't happen! I agree overall with your take on the game and its replayability - I played through a few missions with friends in co-op and we enjoyed it even when we all got exploded. It's still on our list to retry it in the future, so yeah, maybe the replayability is in actually trying to finish it rather than playing through the whole game multiple times! Anyway, I really enjoyed your playthrough, thanks!
I have no way back home, and I must scream. I mean technically he did, he wrote the 90s PC adaptation of I have no Mouth! He even did the voiceovers as AM! ruclips.net/video/9NhtCxrmAEw/видео.html
It's nice that there is at least some incentive to replay with a new crew. It seems to me it's designed for you to lose at least one crew before you complete the campaign.
I was semi right about my theory of the Space Station containing an Eldritch Abomination of sorts (or to be more specific imprisoning), but the ending was a bit disappointing, in all honesty. No battle with the evil Eldritch Abomination trying to turn the crew into unwilling hosts, just join our collective AI or die. I'm kinda glad I didn't have to play through the slog of the campaign just to find this ending. :/
Another mission where movement and terrain play basically zero role... I think it would have been better with the terminals spread over the map, limited uses per terminal and respawning smaller enemies.
Seeing Ash roll dice is more fun than it has any right to be.
Cool video, the ending does remind me of a 80's dark scifi movie where the end is more ambiguous than a happy everyone makes it end.

If Harlan Ellison ever wrote a game narrative, it would look like this.

Hey Ash, did you really lose the Commander and Doc, or did they win by finding the only escape from Space Station Zero Possible?

What a fun series. This screams Ash all over it.
I feel like this ending could have been saved for later, as a finale to a longer campaign.
Very fun
Breaking news! Future Captcha system attacks spaceship crew.
Edit. So, this was the Sega headquarters? ( Sega master system.)
Absolutely fun :).
DOh!
This is the future the AI grifters want
