I am a fan of the art style in the character portraits especially. While the music works for the game, it’s not something you will find yourself listening to outside of the game. The music is fairly varied with lots of typical western style music combined with some cyber ’80s techno music. So if one of your party members bites the dust in battle, you will not be able to use them for the rest of the game. It is satisfying to see your rookies become veterans and start cleaning house! However this game, like Fire Emblem, has permadeath. If a character gets three kills they will level up. The battles are not terribly difficult and don’t last very long but are amusing. You also can sacrifice some of your resources for special attacks such as launching rockets or healing your party. There are some more advanced mechanics including the ability to take cover when near an obstacle to improve your defense, or staying near certain allies to gain a stat boost. Combat plays like a traditional SRPG, so you and the AI take turns moving your units around and when you get into range with the AI, you can attack them. If you get into a battle you can choose your party and go into combat. Of course the more interesting events to happen are the ones that lead to a battle. Your teammates can even turn on you and you will be given a choice on how to deal with the traitors. Each decision will lead to a different outcome. At various moments you will be given choices on how to deal with each situation that comes your way. Various things can happen on your quest such as you getting attacked by roaming warriors, meeting new people to add to your crew, exploring abandoned factories and looting it for treasure, or even trying to bargain and haggle with traders for more supplies. When you reach a new location, a block of text appears on screen describing to you what happens. You move across the map in your vehicle consuming resources such as food, power cells and fuel with every move. How you get to these locations is entirely up to you. In order to make it to Aztec City you need to find four treasures spread throughout the map. You and your party will travel across the map gathering supplies, talking to people and powering yourself up to get ready for the final battle. The basic plot is you are a band of explorers, bounty hunters and scavengers and you are traveling to Aztec City to put an end to King Vicera’s evil empire.
