Shogo: Mobile Armor Division

Part 3


I pushed the music a bit more during the empty parts. Still not at the sweet spot, but we're getting there!


-Major characters-

- Kura Akkaraju

She isn't dead after all! The full circumstances are still mysterious though.
We only know that she has been acting as a spy during the last months and provided intel about the Fallen.


The exact account of what happened to her was partly cut with Hank's background. So I'll add it when we get there.

-Minor characters-

- Lieutenant Cloud

Dies a lonely death, while protecting an exit that Sanjuro doesn't even need.
He's surprisingly calm about his demise, so let's remember him as a hero.


-Human weapons-

Submachine gun

With a high rate of fire, this was mostly favored by multiplayers. In single it's still a very nice weapon, if a bit inaccurate. The silencer does not appear to have an actual effect. Although it sometimes seems like enemies react a tad slower, but that is hard to verify.

Assault rifle

A kick-ass gun that's pixel accurate and strong, your main work-horse for the game. It also has a sniper mode which is totally overpowered and won't be used by me. During development they also wanted to add a grenade launcher but couldn't set it up right.

Shotgun

A real Fps shotty. That means that it doesn't have insane spread and does a huge amount of damage. If fires a bit slow, as you have to pump it after each shot. This is annoying, in a way, as the animation also plays when you switch to it from another weapon. So don't whip it out in the open.

TOW launcher

A rocket launcher. The only thing that I can say about it, is that it's likely to get you killed when used against other humans.

-Important elements-

Coth

The Fallen use this word to refer to the planet Cronus. But it also seems to have a deeper meaning, as they often can be heard yelling "Coth, save me!"

Coth is only clearly brought up in the Regional Diagnostic part and in the prequel story. But you'll hear multiple Fallen soldiers scream this word in different contexts. As a tidbit, parts of their gibberish are from the same set of words that the cultists in "Blood" use.
