'WARNING: THIS MESSAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE GAME. IF YOU PLAN TO PURCHASE THIS IN THE NEAR FUTURE PLEASE CLOSE THIS POST NOW. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.'

I have returned from my journey into the Neox Sector, and here's what I have to report.

Game Info

Galaxy on Fire 3: Manticore Rising is a survival-based prequel to the iOs/Android game Galaxy on Fire 3: Manticore. With enhanced graphics and a moving story, this game is truly one of a kind.

Gameplay

This game has two options from the main menu; Survival and Story. Survival Mode is essentially like Survival Mode in Galaxy on Fire 1, with two major differences; the graphics change, and the wave-based system that this game bases off of. Story Mode is still wave-based but brings you across all three maps this game has to offer. Let me jump into it.

Story

"Hayley Snocom. Call sign 'Manticore.' You should remember her name. Her courage, and ultimately, her end, marked a new beginning. She changed all of our lives. But I'm getting ahead of myself."

Story Mode is essentially Survival Mode like I said before, only it guides you through the three areas of the Neox Sector, attached through a story. Each sector will send you through 5 waves each, and on the fifth wave, you encounter a Boss Fight.

"Five years ago the gold rush into the Neox Sector started. Far from the tight grip of the big governments, this was a chance for a new start. High on the heels of an endless stream of entrepreneurs, a prosperous criminal underworld came to be. At the edge of civilization, safety became the most valuable resource. Nova Defense Services send us to secure the trading routes. But the biggest band of pirates ever encountered was there waiting for us. It was just pure dumb luck that Hayley 'Manticore' Snocom wasn't with us the moment our fleet was shot to pieces."

The first area of the Neox Sector is Trim aka Outer Boundary, a blue vista similar to Kalun Amir surrounding the planet Geminus. You play as Hayley in her ship, the Styx. Around wave three you will meet Sunita "Sun" Khana, who will help you through the rest of the storyline waves. On wave 5 you will encounter a boss that looks to be in a Vossk ship with a front shield. After defeating wave 5, the screen fades to black...

"We didn't stand a chance. These Indigo Pirates were better equipped and hell-bent on destruction. Everybody who survived more than five minutes of this slaughter fled. Our head quarters estimated that sending support would never recoup their losses. They left us alone with this glow addicted horde of maniacs. Manticore and Sun's final chance was to find the rest of the fleet. Only together could we make it."

I'll deliver the rest tomorrow. Whoo, cliffhangers...
