8x8 playing field? Total chess ripoff. Bastards!

I played a game on one of the Nintendo handhelds called Super Robot Taisen (spelling?) that was a fairly deep tactical mech game with a metric ton of strategies, gameplay mechanics, options, pilots, skills, equipment... you get the picture. ;)

I hope this ends up with some of the same - I hope they make good use of the small grid (is it really 8X8?). I'm not a fan of overly large maps in games like this, but that seems a bit tight. Subspace gets the benefit of the doubt from me though - loved FTL.

If that's your thing, have you tried Bionic Dues?

I should try to win FTL at some point.

Not that I'll ever succeed, but I definitely should try.

Go for teleporters. If you can unlock either of the ships (I think there are only two, but they might have added more in the advanced edition) with a four spot teleporter that's even better. Boarding parties are the best and easiest way to do well. You do need a little extra assistance to beat the last boss with a boarding run, but the boarders can still do a lot of damage to them if you've got a good set up.

oh...that name takes me back....I still remember how painful it was to 100% the game with those bonus boss battles
That is if you find them, almost always I had to play on a cousin's run with pure lasers and ony use advance level blasters with a bunch of laser droids and one weapon meant to surpass even level 2 shields and a EMP droid to just cripple it enough, even when I could cripple the boss's shield I had to bust my ass to keep every part of my ship under constant check ups so it wouldn't just get blown to pieces with their rocket launchers.

I see the boarding useless if I don't have a group of mantis aliens to send off, I mean, think about it, they destroy eVerything quickly and if their health goes down you can put them back to the meds. Holy hell I just noticed in the article that one of the player characters looks like Robbie Goddamn Rotten.......WE ARE NUMBER ONE

hell yeah I own it :)

how to vote where?

SO hyped for this. Really hoping it comes to GOG, I assume it will.
