Iron Storm (PC video game): Difference between revisions

* [[Twist Ending]] / [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Handled really well. Beware, major spoilers ahead ! {{spoiler|When Anderson finally storms the Reichstag in Berlin and meets Ugenberg face-to-face, it turns out the old mad emperor is only a powerless figurehead now, [[Punch Clock Villain|a shadow of his former self]]. His empire is ruled more by various [[General Ripper]]s, [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]s, [[Arms Dealer]]s, [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|ObstructiveBureaucrats]] and he himself wields little actual power. Anderson then makes it to the escape point and is picked-up by a USWE helicopter. His superior congratulates him for completing the mission, but as the camera looms away from the chopper, we hear a muffled [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]] announcement, then a gunshot and Anderson moaning in pain. It's implied that Anderson's superior killed him - in order to keep the truth about Ugenberg's declining power a secret and help perpetuate the [[Forever War]]. Makes you wonder if both of the superpowers aren't just [[Evil Versus Evil]], [[Not So Different|competing in who can make a bigger profit off the war and be the most careless and evil]]...}}

** [[Alternate Ending]] (also a [[Twist Ending]]): {{spoiler|When Anderson storms the Reichstag, an assault by Consortium (the American company/companies that are supplying everything to the USWE) troops happens at the same time, forcing Anderson to defend himself against not only the Russo-Mongolian troops, but also against the Consortium. He eventually reaches a room with a CCTV screen connected to other point in the Reichstag, and Anderson sees how the Consortium man that has been supporting him in the mission argues with Urgenberg: this discussion reveals that the Consortium has been supplying the Russo-Mongolian armies as well, that Urgenberg plans to stop the war in order to become a peacemaker after so many years of war and Urgenberg is assasinated by the Consortium man, who flees. Anderson manages to defeat [[The Dragon]] and get on the helicopter where the Consortium man is fleeing, but dies at his hands... and in the end a TV report is shown saying that war will continue in Urgenberg's name.}}

* [[Updated Rerelease]] : As ''World War Zero''. Published three years after the original, [[No Export for You|but sold only in the UK]].

* [[War for Fun and Profit]]: ''And... how!''

* [[World War One]]: painted by a team-up of George Orwell and Hieronymus Bosch, apparently...

* [[X Meets Y]]: Seriously, it's as if ''[[All Quiet on the Western Front]]'', ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' had a particularly rough threesome.
