Initially named '''''Bootfighter Windom XP''''', this series of games started as a [[Freeware Game]] based on the popularity of the [[Gundam vs. Series]] and [[Another Century's Episode]] series. Initially featuring 14 mechas (Windoms and Linuxes) and 4 game modes, it was subsequently followed by a retail [[Mission Pack Sequel]], '''''[https://web.archive.org/web/20190511041219/http://www.curiousfactory.com/windomxp/game.php Ultimate Knight Windom XP]''''', which adds 3 new robots, a fairly difficult Arcade mode, equippable items and general tweaks and balancing to the roster. As of now, the latter version is the only one that continually receives updates. An [[Expansion Pack]] called the Powerup Kit adds a new stage, the two stages from Bootfighter that were formerly absent from Ultimate Knight and 5 new units and was released at the 77th Comiket.
The game modes available for this game so far are:
* Arcade mode
* Survival mode
* Team Battle
* Blitz Tactics (Similar to Team Battle mode, only the objective now being to destroy the enemy mother ships.)
* Local Single/Multiplayer mode (or Free Battle Mode)
* Online Battle Mode
Line 12:
The game owes its spotlight and life though to the spread of its translated freeware version, followed later by the spread of the Ultimate Knight editions and the popularization of its mods and videos.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Ace Custom]]: The player can select different palletes and stat-upgrading parts they collect from the Arcade Mode to make their mechs unique.
* [[Alpha Strike]]: Windom Talisker WP and Windom Black Comb’s last subattacks.
Line 25 ⟶ 22:
* [[Beam Spam]]: The KD-07 Black Comb and KD-06 Windom Vista being the most popular Windom to do it, though the MS-98 and Millenium suits have a special grenade that rains beams upon the area.
** Some of the Linuxes are able to invoke one of those Magical Spell Circles that spam several medium-ranged beams, and a few long-ranged ones.
* [[BFG]] - KD-08-3 Anthurium Linux and KD-06 Asteroid Windom 2000
* [[BFS]] – KD-05-3’s Anti-Ship Sword, with the KD-07 Black Comb having a pair of then. And then the KD-08-2 Cymbidium Linux's power-up Sub-Attack move, which basically gives her sword a huge laser blade.
* [[Bling Bling Bang]] – Windom Black Comb, especially if you turn one of the graphical options on.
Line 32 ⟶ 29:
** And then there is the [[Gundam Seed|IWSP Strike Gundam’s]] Ersatz, Windom Talisker WP.
* [[Character Customization]]: You can alter the Robot’s colors and skills by collecting items from your battles at the Arcade Mode.
* [[Chest Blaster]]: KD-06 Asteroid Windom 2000
* [[Color-Coded Multiplayer]]: The Single and Multi Player modes often have that.
* [[Cut and Paste Environments]] – The ‘In’ maps are basically this. The In1 being what COULD be a never-ending hangar, while the In2 is basically a bland section of box-rooms.
Line 38 ⟶ 35:
* [[Die, Chair, Die!]]: Wanna destroy the city’s buildings around you with your infinite supply of missiles and beams? Fire.
** Though averted sometimes, as some of the buildings such as certain Skyscrapers are impossible to destroy.
* [[Enemy
* [[Fan Translation]]: For the original game by [https://web.archive.org/web/20120807031243/http://mirrormoon.org/node Mirror Moon]. Then several by Amecha and 3DGundam.
* [[Flaming Sword]]: KD-08-6 Linux Lycoris was initially presented with a Flaming Katana. After the 2.005 update, the katana is no longer permanently on fire. It needs to be manually ignited, and the function to do such replaces her double-jump ability.
* [[Freelook Button]]: Available by pausing the game and selecting its option.
Line 60 ⟶ 57:
* [[Mercy Invincibility]]: After recieving a certain amount of hits, your mech goes down and the rule is applied until it gets up and either begins firing again or the invincibility time runs out.
* [[Mirror Match]]: Rarely in the Arcade Mode, though common in the other modes.
* [[Missing Backblast]]: Subverted with the bazooka gun for the Millenium and XP series as they have the special effect of the backblast, yet no recoil on the mech itself.
** Averted when using the Sub-Attacks, be them missile launchers or the bazookas themselves.
* [[One-Hit Polykill]]: With any kind of Beam Rifles, since the beams will only cease to exist if they hit one or more buildings, the floor, reach a certain distance or time length.
Line 66 ⟶ 63:
* [[RPG Elements]]: Check [[Character Customization]].
* [[Scoring Points]]: Comes with a basic Ranking system.
* [[
* [[Shout-Out]]: Aside from the examples back at the [[Captain Ersatz]] trope…
** One of the last stages of the Arcade path puts you against the KD-07 and KD-07-2, the Windom versions of the [[Gundam Seed Destiny|Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice (Not counting the Akatsuki parts in each mobile suit)]]. Good luck fighting Kira and Athrun at the same time.
* [[Skybox]]: A circular and static skybox, noticeable if you fall off the map (Especially in the Skyland map) or fly too high without the map boundries (By deleting the "Hit" files from their folders).
* [[Sky Surfing]]: The shield for XP (KD-05) and XP Type-B (KD-05-2) can transform into a sub-flight unit that the mech rides on top of.
* [[Spam Attack]]: Pick your preference.
** [[Beam Spam]]? Black Comb and Windom Vista live up to the name of their Gundam counterparts.
** [[More Dakka]]? The last subattack of the MS-98 and the first Millenium units, aside from the “IWSP” Talisker.
Line 77 ⟶ 74:
* [[Static Stun Gun]]: Subverted. Windom Black Comb has a Static Stun Beam that looks like electricity as the first subattack.
* [[Super Mode]]: Introduced in the 2.005 version of the game. Activating it allows you to shoot faster and deal more damage while executing a sword combo.
* [[Super Move Portrait Attack]]: Most of the times you use any of the subweapons the robot goes through a rotating camera shot, [[Gundam Seed]] or Magical Girls style.
* [[Super Robot Genre]]
* [[Swiss Army Weapon]] - The KD-06 Asteroid Windom 2000
* [[Theme Naming]]: All the robots are named and slightly based off the Windows and Linux [[Names Given to Computers|Operational Systems]].
* [[Throwing Your Shield Always Works]] - KD-05-3 And KD-04-4 in allusion to the [[Gundam Seed Destiny|Impulse]] and the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|RX-78-2]] Gundams respectively
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: The KD-06 Asteroid Windom 2000
* [[Unusual Weapon Mounting]]: Lasers from the hips, the wings, and the list goes on…
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: KD-08-3 Anthurium Linux’s BFG.
