And Liberation Day’s story is on rails the branching endings are all in an epilogue that’s divorced from the game itself. Nothing carries over storywise except for how you won the fine battle.
#SUNRIDER MASK OF ARCADIUS LEGION UPGRADE#
None of the character relationship points or leadership axis point have any effect on Liberation Day beyond one upgrade for Icari’s mech, one optional side mission, and whether or not you have to use the Wishall to get Cossette. The shocking: It’s mindblowing how little effect the Visual Novel portion of Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius has on… well, anything! Okay, this is not really bad, but the decision to have the game fully voice-acted in Japanese was an odd choice, given that it was originally partially voice-acted in English. And considering that we’re talking more or less Panzer General II level graphic, it’s probably more to do with inefficient code/language. Mask of Arcadius had some minor hiccups, but not like Liberation Day. You’re given a default set of improvements to your Ryders and the Sunrider, so if you heavily favored one unit or one particular strategy in the previous episodes, it might take some work to get back there.įor what the system is doing, it should not be so juddery running on a potato. The bad: A total reset on all mech and ship specs and improvements. The change to how command points are handled allows for some interesting strategies and flexibility-something that is needed to make the large fleet battles in this game more varied. The good: Getting rid of the cutscenes for every attack was great, and makes the tactical portion of the game much more playable.
Some of the changes were justified and for the better, but the shift leaves Mask of Arcadius something of a shaggy dog. Sunrider did a weird episodic-gaming thing, where episodes 1 & 2 were included in Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius and then they scraped and rebuilt the entire engine for episode 3. Okay, I’m finally getting around to my review of Sunrider: Liberation Day!
