Hello
Here to talk about liberation army
This game is...Quite honestly weird....fun but REALLY weird
The game is fully freeware and the downloads are ridiculously hard to come by nowadays but anywho
The game is a sort of "Gundam" game where you mix in some limited RTS elements with some limited Shmup elements the result ending up being a surprisingly addictive little shmup
The whole idea is that the game is split into two phases
1st phase: You get to choose your character (a woopin total of 4), its main weapon (although most of them are horribly weak, only the sniper rifle is really worth anything and it is available to only one character) the secondary weapon (see it as the heavy weapons, hit really hard compared to main weapons) and system (a toggleable buff like automatic targetting, increased speed etc etc....)
You can also buy your grunts and spawnpoint ships as well as upgrades
2nd phase: the fight in itself were you get to control your own character, if it dies you automatically loose the fight, using the mouse you can move your spawnpoint ships around HOWEVER you are limited to ten ships max and they are far from invincible...
The role of the player is to tell where ships should be (close enough from the front line but not TOO close from ennemy fire) and apply support firepower where its needed, do not even TRY to get past the front line, your own unit is fairly fragile and your hitbox the size of a barn just stay behind the meatshields and unload your guns and you will be just fine....
The game is fairly easy to have its sprites changed, just mess with the sprite table and TADAAA new graphics...
