My first run on a while

[Slash]

Just had a game after a while, it was nice

After some domestic work at the hospital the doctor gave me a truck to deliver some things on snake lake, went there, met some people, got back to hyoge and accidentally entered the arena with my truck. I won once but the second time it was destroyed. Got the trainie mek from Vikki and used it a bit... failed on the factory to get a good deal for Hyoge, fighted on the mines til death on level 5.

I was surprised to find Elisha Kettel was pretty accesible.... she didnt have a bodyguard or anything, a must for such an important person I think... I would have shot her down but I like the way Kettel does things so... I spared her life.

Destroyed an Aegis base generator, but my trainee mecha was destroyed while trying to defend the city generator (bah, it is just a groundhugger... huh! WTF! )... so I am left without a mecha and just about 40.000$... guess my game is over

Nice game

Is your character skilled in personal scale combat?  If so, then you could simply go on bounty hunting and sewer clearing missions until you get enough to buy a new mecha.  Based on your story, you should still be able to find at least one other mecha for free.

hey slash, didn't know you played this game.  On afterthought, I wouldn't be surprised if roguelike devs play other roguelikes.  btw, thanks for making crl.  fun game, but a tad bit hard to play for me on gfx mode due to some bugs and probably b/c I am playing an older version...  ascii version works pretty well but i haven't made it farther than maybe one or two levels beyond the moat because mermen seem to like to knock me into the water...

I guess you mean the Hyoge mines one? yes... I guess I will go for it (that is, if I have time to resume the game )

Yeah, I play it from time to time... I think it is often overlooked as it is a very well done piece of software

Well, current version (1.24) is pretty stable on the gfx mode, as for the mermen, better dispatch them from far away

Also, 1.25 is currently on playtesting (we need more playtesters by the way), it should come by this weekend.

There's actually a couple other free mecha spread throughout the game.  One's gotten through the early quest in Snake Lake (if you lack a usable mecha at the time), and the the other's found buried inside one of the towns.

There's also a random quest that pops up from time to time where you can get a free Buru Buru from one of the mecha shops (even if you already have a mecha).

And the best mecha in the game can't be purchased, but rather must be wrested from the hands of your enemies. Either in mecha-on-mecha combat, or if you're just that good, there's a few unused ones buried deep beneath the surface. Including one that requires you to go all over the map to find its components!

Guess there is a big world to explore... for now I have never gotten far from the first 3 cities.

I call that the "snack run mission". I think you can get a Domino (or some other arachnoid mecha) from Hwang-Sa Temple too.
