Story

Taking place in the 25th Century, players are members of a secret military organization called NEO, the New Earth Organization, dedicated to fight against oppressive regime of RAM (Russo-American Mercantile) a ruthless mega-corporation that is ruling the Solar System with an iron fist.

Players are recruited into the NEO but during their graduation day, their base on the Moon is attacked by RAM and their genetically engineered Genie troops. After surviving the attack, players officially become members of the NEO and tasked with going around the Solar System and investigate rumors of a RAM superweapon called the "Doomsday".

The game is a RPG. In order to start the game, players must create a squad of six characters with different stats and skills.

Space Travel

In these sections, players can fly around the Solar System and travel to different locations. All planets and other large space objects travel in a clockwise motion. Players can be attacked by RAM space ships during this section.

Space Combat

Ship to ship combat occurs during space travel. Before combat, players can engage the enemy, evade or try to bluff the enemy ship. If bluffing is successful, combat will be avoided.

Space combat is turn based. Every member of the crew can use different commands during combat. These action include; firing selected weapon, reloading, applying medical assistance (Medic only). Pilot of the ship (Rocket Jock with highest piloting skill) can use these commands: closing the distance, running away, ramming the enemy ship or boarding. Rocket Jocks can also use "Jury Rig" command for quick repairs.

During combat, players (and enemy) can target different parts of the ship for different effects. For example destroying the engines will prevent the ship from moving, destroying weapons will prevent the ship from firing etc. Since the characters with the highest THACO will have best chance of hitting the enemy, it is recommended to use these characters for firing while allowing other characters to reload or render air or repairs when possible.

When boarding is successful players will engage the enemy in regular combat. Defeating the crew will end the combat will allow players to acquire spoils of battle.

Planetary Travel

In these sections, players will travel around the surface of the planet they are in with a vehicle, exploring the surface and visiting locations. When random enemy encounters occur, ground combat sections begin.

In-Door Exploration

These sections take place inside the buildings or towns. Random events and enemy encounters may occur.

Ground Combat

Ground combat events are also turn based. Players can target and engage an enemy, reload, move around the battlefield, hold their turn temporarily or render first aid. Selecting "Quick" option will allow selected character to engage and act autonomously for a while.

Skills

Characters can gain new skill points when levelling up.

Battle Tactics/Leadership: Successful check at the beginning of the battle gives bonuses to all friendly characters. You can also take command of allied units in the vicinity for the duration of the battle. Very important, max out with at least one character. Warrior only.


Bypass Security: Disable alarm systems. Make sure your Rogue is skilled with it. Rogue Only.


Pilot Rocket/Jury Rig: At least one pilot with this skill is necessary for space combat. Jury Rig allows quick repair on damaged equipment during space combat. Very essential, make sure all of your pilots are proficient with it. Rocket Jockey only.


Treat Wounds: Recover health at the end of the combat and revive fallen characters back. Very important. Medic Only.


Climb: Allows characters to scale from high objects. At least one character should be proficient.


Demolitions: Setting, detonating or disabling explosives. At least one character should be skilled in this as it can be a life saver.


Fast Talk: Persuading or decepting people. Character with the highest charisma, (possibly Rogue) should take this and max out if possible. Essential.


First Aid: Increase health during combat sections and allows stabilising (not reviving) fallen characters. All characters, especially medic should take this skill.


Library Search: You can search for information in the Libraries of the space stations. Not essential, spend points if you have spare. One person with some points should be enough.


Perception: Ability to see things otherwise hidden. Helps avoiding traps and enemy patrols, and detecting hidden items. One person should take this and develop if possible.


Programming: Ability to use computers or other high tech equipment. One person with the highest TCH stat should take this and be proficient with it.


Repair Rocket: Repair Rocket Ship after combat. Not too essential but it would be nice to have at least one person with some proficiency.


Stealth: Allows avoiding enemy patrols or getting first attack during combat. With high enough skill, attacking enemies with a melee weapon will get a backstab bonus. Nice but not essential compared to the other skills.


Zero-Gravity Maneuvering: Used during ground combat in zero gravity enviroments, such as inside space ships or space stations. Characters who fail the skill check will receive severe penalties during combat. Very essential. All members should be proficient with this skill.

Derived Stats

These stats cannot be modified by player and can be affected by Ability scores, skills and equipment.


Initative: How soon the player will be able to act in combat. Initative is affected by DEX score, or special situations such as ambushes. It is very essential as low initative means the character will act much later compared to the other characters, including the enemies.


Armor Class (AC): Armor class is affected by DEX and armor the character is wearing. Lower, the better.


THAC0: "To Hit Armor Class Zero". Character's accuracy. Higher, the better. Can be modified by weapon, terrain, range and other effects such as zero gravity or weapon skills.


Weapons and Equipment

Quality of the equipment is designated by its color and title. While common (Blue) equipment can be found anywhere, some rare and powerful weapons and armor can be purchased from shops or acquired from enemies. These equipment has much better stats, such as damage, number of attacks and accuracy compared to the regular weapons.


From worst to best:


Regular (Blue) --> Martian (Red) --> Venusian (Green) --> Mercurian (Yellow) --> Lunarian (Gray)


All weapons have base 20% accuracy if not stated otherwise. All melee weapons have 2 attacks, affected by STR stat x2 and range of 1. All grenades have 4 hex blast radius.


Unarmed: For foolhardy or suicidal. 1-2 damage


Cutlass: Arrrrr. A very common melee weapon. 1-7 damage


Martian Cutlass: 3-8 damage


Mercurian Cutlass: 50% accuracy, 6-11 damage


Monosword: A sword with a single synthetic diamond. Better than cutlass. 1-10 damage


Martian Monosword: 40% accuracy, 4-13 damage


Venusian Monosword: 55% accuracy, 5-14 damage


Lunarian Monosword: 60% accuracy, 9-18 damage


Laser Pistol: Balanced but have trouble piercing the armor of some hardened enemies and can be blocked by Aerosol Mist Grenades. 1-8 damage x3.


Martian Laser Pistol: 35% accuracy, 2-9 damage x3.


Venusian Laser Pistol: 45% accuracy, 3-10 damage x3.


Rocket Pistol: Powerful with decent accuracy, especially when in zero-g enviroments. Many enemies are immune to it however, due to the ECM packs. Effective against monsters. 1-10 damage x4.


Martian Rocket Pistol: 40% accuracy, 2-11 damage x4.


Mercurian Rocket Pistol: 65% accuracy, 4-13 damage x4.


Needle Pistol: Very low damage but very, very accurate and fires a lot of shots. No enemy is immune to this weapon and therefore it is the best in the game. Master it with your Warriors and make sure all of your crew gets one. 1-3 damage x 6.


Martian Needle Pistol: 50% accuracy, 4-6 damage x6.


Venusian Needle Pistol: 70% accuracy, 6-8 damage x6.

Heat Gun: Powerful but has terrible accuracy. 2-12 damage x 2.


Desert Runner Crossbow: Can only be acquired from dead Desert Runners in Mars. 30% accuracy, 1-8 damage x2.


Grenade Launcher: Not exactly a weapon but rather a tool that can allow you to throw your grenade much farther as long as it is in character's inventory.


Explosive Grenade: A hand grenade causes damage to an area. Very useful. Stock up and use only when necessart.


Dazzle Grenade: Flashbangs. Blind the enemy and lower hit-rate and evasion. Mostly useless as pretty much all enemies have protective goggles during the latter part of the game.


Stun Grenade: Same as above but slightly more effective. Emphasis on "slightly".


Aerosol Mist Grenade: Creates a dense cloud that will block laser shots.


Chaff Grenade: Creates a dense clous that will block Rocket Pistols, Grenade Launchers and Rocket Launchers.


Rocket Launcher: Only two of these weapons can be found in the game. Has a very large blast radius but requires an entire turn to reload and severely reduces movement range. Be very careful with it as it can kill your allies as well. 45% accuracy, 5-50 damage, 8 hex radius


Plasma Launcher: Can only be acquired from Mercurian Leaders. Causes less damage than Rocket Launchers but has a much larger blast radius. Be even more careful with it.


Space Suit: AC -4


Smart Suit: AC -6


Lunarian Smart Suit: AC -6


Heavy Body Armor: AC -8


Battle Armor: AC -10


Venusian Heavy Body Armor: AC -10


Body Armor with Fields: AC -12
