If you wanted to think of reaching high into this gameâs ranking mode, you needed the ability to precisely maneuver your frame and engage in combat at the same time at ultra-high speed. Because of that it wasnât unusual for a pair of people to pilot the same frame together, since that would ease the amount of input to watch out for by half. So I was wondering how would someone like me, who usually plays solo, would do?
\năHowever, once you get used to that the game is really enjoyable, since the developers did a really good job with balancing gameplay with the story.ă
That being said, the learning curve and high difficulty of entry made this game somewhat inaccessible to newbies, making the game something that was more enjoyable to watch than actually play.
Yes, it is a good analogy to say that Nephilim Hollow was a direct opposite of Berserker Passion Online. Both games were not all that popular, but if the former was attracting the players because of its easy learning curve, the latter was scarying people away with its difficulty.
Besides, âCrapâ managed to turn its bug-ridden gameplay into one of its main selling points, but the Nephilim Hollow couldnât do something like that. Was that a difference in management? Or was it something else?
Nonetheless, taking my little sisterâs advice, the only thing that could satiate my hunger for Mecha action was some actual Mecha action!
I had another Mecha game in my collection, but it was a truly outrageous shitty game, so Iâll leave that be for now.\năSo, what kind of character I want to play in this game right about now?ă
There was surely a different kind of excitement that was accompanying getting back to an old game from the excitement of playing a brand new one.
ăAh, thatâs right, Kingfisher, was it?ă
After logging into the game, I went straight to the warehouse where I was storing my own custom Nephilim.
I know that it was just a game, and the one not that much grounded in reality, but I could swear that I saw my frame covered in a thick layer of dust.
ăItâs been a while, âKingfisherââŠâŠ God, I canât believe just how good the color scheme works for you. It gets me every single time.ă
The idea behind this frame was fairly simple. I took every single thing that I deemed unnecessary in order to maximize its movement speed, and then gave it a set of weapons that would be capable of taking down my opponents in one fell swoop. That is the kind of frame the Kingfisher is. \nI stripped it of almost all of its armor and gave it only the parts that would accelerate the speed of its movements without losing in the field of aerodynamics, which made it look more like a doll rather than a steel giant that fell from the heavens. However, thanks to that it could achieve speeds normally impossible for a middle-class frames, and the extra thrusters would allow it to exceed those limits even further, although only for about five seconds or so.
But the specifications of this build made it to be like a firework. It was capable to maintain high speed but only for a short amount of time, it was difficult to maneuver while doing so, and if even one piece of its equipment would somehow get damaged, it mobility would drop even further, making the victory almost impossible to achieve. In other words, it would require of me to defeat my opponents in around three minutes or even less.
ăThinking about it now, Power Armor and a Mecha are only similar on paper, but in reality they are worlds apartâŠâŠ Ah, who cares?ă
When it comes to that, itâs just the case of properly adjusting your mindset. It was nothing but a minor detail, nothing I needed to be overly concerned about.
After I checked everything, I went to the entrance of the company I was affiliated with without delay.
ăThe maneuvers are just as sweet as I remember them, but my shots are still messy and my faints easy to see throughâŠâŠ Iâm rusty, thatâs for certain.ă
\nTruth to be told, that sense of defeat was the final straw for me and after that I went to vent my frustration on other shitty games.
ăI wanted to practice some more, but since an opportunity like that presents itselfâŠâŠ Youâre on!ă
I accepted without hesitation. Before long, I can see a red frame appear right before my eyes.
Some details and armaments were different about it from the last time I saw it, but without a doubt, it was Rustâs most trusted frame, âPhoenixâ.
My âKingfisherâ had a color blue for its main paint job, so it was a nice contrast to the âPhoenixâsâ red.
ăAlrightâŠâŠ I shall beat your ass faster than it takes to prepare a cup of instant noodles!ă
By that declaration, a huge blue and red bird took off in the direction of the city.
