Sigma Star Saga: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

* [[The Atoner]] - Recker begins the game as leader of the elite Sigma Squadron. By the end of the first battle, he's the only member left alive, and he blames himself quite strongly.

* [[A Winner Is You]] - Given the game's strong focus on its storyline, the multiple endings are all very brief and fairly anticlimatic. Additionally, the easiest one to achieve is arguably the best.

* [[Back Tracking]] - This game is just plain loaded with it. Made significantly worse with the game's unescapable [[Random Encounters]]. At least the game is eventually nice enough to provide you with gun data that [[Anti Frustration Features|makes kills count more towards ending the fight]].

* [[Back Tracking]] - This game is just plain loaded with it. Made significantly worse with the game's unescapable [[Random Encounters]]. At least the game is eventually nice enough to provide you with gun data that [[Anti-Frustration Features|makes kills count more towards ending the fight]].

* [[Bad Boss]] - Commander Zelly seems to have a reputation amongst the Krill leadership for this sort of behavior, at one point stated to be worse than the guy everyone calls the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Tyrannical Overlord]]. She shows it when {{spoiler|she slaughters her ''entire base personnel'' in order to keep sensitive information from being leaked... even though 90% of them had no idea that this sensitive information even existed. It's subverted in the endgame, where Zelly is just about the only high-ranking ally the player has.}}

* [[Big Boo's Haunt]] - The Forgotten Planet

Line 41:

* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]] - {{spoiler|Sort of. The Sleeping Flesh uses entire planets as eggs, so when they "hatch"... Ironically, part of what the Krill were doing in their first "attack" on Earth was ''saving'' it from this fate. Sort of.}}

* [[Eyes of Gold]] - Standard coloration for Krill eyes.

* [[Exposed to ~~The~~ Elements]] - Female Krill {{spoiler|and Scarlett}} on the [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World|Ice Planet]].

* [[Exposed to the Elements]] - Female Krill {{spoiler|and Scarlett}} on the [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World|Ice Planet]].

* [[Floating Continent]] - Every planet seems to consist entirely of these (except, presumably, Earth).

* [[Gambit Pileup]] - Keeping up with the plot in the latter half of the game can be somewhat difficult, to say the least.

Line 66:

* [[Lethal Joke Item]] - Krill Puck

* [[Lethal Lava Land]] - The Fire Planet

* [[Locked in A Room]] - {{spoiler|Recker and Psyme are sent to the Ice Planet inside a cargo box.}}

* [[Locked in a Room]] - {{spoiler|Recker and Psyme are sent to the Ice Planet inside a cargo box.}}

* [[Love Triangle]] - Recker, Psyme, and Scarlet. {{spoiler|Psyme wins in both endings where she survives, Scarlet wins if she survives and Psyme dies.}}

* [[Luck-Based Mission]] - Some random encounters are outright unwinnable if you are unlucky enough to be summoned by a large/slow moving spaceship in a constricted area that it cannot possibly navigate through without crashing (at least one such area results in a crash before the game ''even relinquishes control of the ship to you''). And since there's no option to retreat, your only option when faced with any fight that you have no chance of winning is to [[Cycle of Hurting|commit suicide]].

Line 76:

* [[New Game+]] - After beating the game, it can be replayed with all previously unlocked weapons and ships available at the beginning... as well as get a chance to get the best ending, which is unavailable on the first playthough.

* [[Non Lethal Bottomless Pits]]

* [[Not Distracted By the Sexy]] - Well, Recker is distracted at first, but grows used to it by the second chapter.

* [[Not Distracted by the Sexy]] - Well, Recker is distracted at first, but grows used to it by the second chapter.

* [[Ominous Save Prompt]] - the game gives you a somewhat-unneeded one of these (as you would probably have remembered to save before heading into the battle in question, anyways).

* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]] - Subverted, although you only receive Mercy Invincibility if you crash into something.
