Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })StarCrawlers is a Science Fiction First Person Dungeon Crawling RPG developed by Juggernaut Games. Set in a distant Post-Cyberpunk future ruled by an eclectic assortment of Mega-Corps, the player leads a team of "crawlers": adventuring guns-for-hire willing to do various shady and deniable doings for the numerous corporations and other organizations on the fringes of civilized space. Asset recovery, corporate espionage, personnel disputes, and general violence are all part of a day's work.The player assembles a team from eight distinct character classes, outfits them with a variety of weapons, armor, shields, and accessories, and enters various complexes and dungeons looking for loot, violence, and hopefully a shiny payday at the end, all the while managing their relationships with the various corporations and organizations. Winning favor with particular corporations gets perks such as gear, tools, and support, while earning their enmity results in hostile repercussions.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The main storyline of the game focuses on the exploration of a massive, derelict colony ship known as the Stella Marin, whose population has vanished without a trace. While the player's team tries to uncover the truth, they find themselves getting wrapped up in a complex web of corporate politics between the ruling United Federation for Prosperity, the corporations resenting their strict rules, and the anarchists and workers suffering under both groups' profit-centered dominance.The game was first released in Early Access in 2015, and received continuous development until its final release on May 23, 2017. It is available on GOG.com and Steam. A Kickstarter campaign for a sequel titled StarCrawlers Chimera was launched in May 2021, with a full release planned for the following year. | |

Shop Fodder | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_127027b1 | comment |
Shop Fodder: Items labeled as "loot" only serve to be sold to vendors. They're usually low in value, and typically come in the form of stolen office supplies and broken parts taken from damaged robots. It's still important to examine trash as some useful items sometimes use similar icons as common loot. | |

DeflectorShield | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_13ad64d6 | comment |
Deflector Shield: Shields are an ubiquitous tool for Crawlers and technologically-capable enemies such as CorpSec troops and robots. They mitigate incoming damage, but have a set number of charges. Once the charges are expended, the target starts taking full damage. They also only lose charges when hit by single-target attacks, which mitigates the effectiveness of massive Herd Hitting Attacks. There are three types of shields for Crawlers: Light shields have lots of charges, and can recharge over time, but have reduced damage mitigation. These are most useful on tankier crawlers because they will be taking a lot of hits, and they usually have other forms of damage mitigation or regeneration to offset the pain that will get through the shield. Tactical shields have an even balance of charges and damage mitigation, and have a backup system that boosts the wearer's combat abilities when the shield's charges run out. Heavy shields have a low number of charges but enormous damage mitigation, practically neutralizing all damage taken while the shield is still up. ironically, these are most useful for your squishier classes who won't be drawing as much aggro. | |

Gone Horribly Right: Patil's new drone project succeeds far more wildly than he expected it would. Wiping out the entire crew of the Stella Marin wasn't quite what he'd intended, and he mentions it wasn't even the intended target ship, but it turned out to be the perfect target for his experiment. In the ending Patil nevertheless expresses how he is impressed by how creative and effective a solution his drone found to subjugating the ship under its control according to is "pacify all surrounding resistance" directive... | |

| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_1f7c89f6 | comment |
Nigh-Invulnerability: The first time you face the Overlord drone in direct combat it's got a barrier that makes it completely immune to attacks and serves as a Hopeless Boss Fight. The second time you fight it, it still has that barrier up until you scrap its summons, then it finally drops the barrier and fights you for real. | |

| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: If you ignored the massive foreshadowing about how sleazy Horizon Robotics is and choose to side with them and the UFP, in the end they will offer you whatever you desire as gratitude for having assisted them their testing. It doesn't necessarily end well, for instance the Void Psyker and The Prototype both essentially end up forced to be test subjects. Rejecting their offer and just leaving peacefully or fighting their drones to the death don't end well either. | |

Uriah Gambit: While it's pure luck that your team happens to stumble upon the coordinates for the lost Stella Marin, Horizon Robotics takes full advantage of your presence there (whether you're working for them or not) to test out their new drone technology and get combat data from your battles. The Big Bad casually disregards your team's wounded after the final boss fight to ask you questions in an effort to get more testing and survey data, nonchalantly commenting on how they're impressed and somewhat surprised you survived the fight. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Money! | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_230d64 | comment |
Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Bribery is an entirely valid way to get out of fights and improve your reputation. You can bribe corporate security, mercenaries, and pirates to go away, and use money and favor with The Social Stage to improve your reputation with various corporations. You'll also need to spend at 1500 credits just to be able to talk to anyone in Hollow Earth, Hollow Soul (unless you manage to report a lot of stolen animal skins to them). Certain story missions have options to bribe people to get out of fights or get benefits as well, such as "The Train Job", if you spared Riggo when you first fought him. Amusingly, there are a couple of other bribery options that don't involve money. If you're on good terms with Allure Cybergenetics, it turns out that you can bribe a surprising number of people with Alyssa Tickets, ranging from security guards to gun turrets. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: Fitting the game's self-aware tone and style, characters lampshade the hell out of some tropes they run into. Luna will comment on how forgetful you are if you ask her to repeat the objectives of a mission when you were just on the mission select screen detailing the objectives of the job. In the tutorial, when Doc Sams asks you to fetch the "Wire doodad" from the maintenance tunnels, you can accuse him of "tutorialing" you. There's no shortage of your crew lampshading the various horror movie tropes and robotic AI rebellion tropes associated with the Stella Marin storyline. Every single piece of Shop Fodder has a description that lampshades how useless it is, except as some form of loot. You can try bribing people with Alyssa Tickets. The game will happily lampshade how bizarre it is that you're trying to bribe an automated gun turret with tickets to a concert, right before it accepts them and lets you go. | |

Submachineguns: Able to lay down large amounts of bullets, but with low damage output. Their high rate of fire makes it hard for enemies to dodge them, and the hail of bullets has a passive armor-shredding effect that reduces damage reduction from armor. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Smuggler's Gunslinger tree lets you do massive amounts of damage... but it is dependent on you equipping the Smuggler with a pistol to get its benefits. Because weapons are randomized, if you can't find a good pistol to equip them with, you might want to just respec into a different tree until you can. The Cyberninja's Assassination tree deals huge amounts of constant damage, but the enormously-deadly abilities, particularly the titular Assassinate, actually have to hit the enemy to matter. You can end up completely wasting your turn if you have a high-damage but low accuracy weapon equipped. Also, the majority of the classes attacks require a melee weapon, which is moderately uncommon loot. | |

Hollywood Hacking | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_2be271c7 | comment |
Hollywood Hacking: Averted in many ways, despite there being a Hacker class who uses hacking on enemies in combat. In battle, the Hacker is actually programming and deploying clouds of combat nanomachines to enhance allies or weaken, confuse, and paralyze enemies. When exploring on the map, the Hacker also has to get physical access to computer terminals to access their information. Even when hacking into a physical terminal, the Hacker runs the risk of triggering security protocols, and the only surefire way to get through some terminals or security locks is to get the passcode or keycards. Kage Enterprises specializes in tools designed to bypass security. Unsurprisingly, they don't have one-shot insta-hacking equipment. Instead, they include spy gadgetry: camera scramblers, laser beam disruptors, safe-cracking explosives, communications scramblers, and "omnipasses" which attempt to scan ambient communications and spoof them to fool security into thinking you belong. Server rooms, interestingly, follow traditional security techniques in that the actual server hardware cannot be accessed as part of the facility networks, so even your best-equipped Hacker can't do anything with them. The only way to access them is with very specialized keys given out by the Rhyzom corporation. Early on in the storyline, the player can talk to the Housekeeper and, with the right choices or party members, put it into repair mode. What follows is a series of dialogue choices where you pick out a series of compiler errors in the machine's code. The Hacker can easily identify them, but otherwise you'll need to either guess or have some familiarity with real-world programming languages to know what the errors are. | |

Glass Cannon: The Smuggler and Cyberninja are these, due to having high damage but limited options to tank enemy attacks. The Cyberninja can use their Deception tree to go into stealth, and the Smuggler's Dirty Moves tree lets them deploy taunting traps, but they're mostly focused around avoiding damage rather than tanking it, and their high-damage abilities tend to result in enemies targeting them specifically. | |

Space Pirates: Quite literally, complete with hilariously stereotypical pirate jargon and speech patterns. They're technically an "anarchist" faction, although no one is terribly concerned if you attack them, at least before Ragnarok forms. It's noted that many pirate crews consist of Crawlers who have pissed off too many corporations and have joined pirate crews for safety... not realizing that this just cuts their life expectancy even shorter. | |

Rifles: A mixture of assault rifles, marksmen rifles, and sniper rifles, these weapons have a high Time Unit cost but also extremely high accuracy, making them reliable weapons, especially when you need to make sure that you abilities always hit home. Rifles also possess the Shield Breaker ability, which strips extra layers off of a shield whenever they hit. | |

Reality Warper | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_3b99a9e0 | comment |
Reality Warper: The Big Bad wipes out the crew of the Stella Marin by sucking them all into a horrific alternate dimension, by means of a top-secret Void Drive that operates by tapping into that alternate dimension. As it happens, it's the same dimension your Void Psykers are channeling any time they use their powers. | |

Powered Armor | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_3d59c9a0 | comment |
Powered Armor: Ubiquitous, to the point that most of your Crawlers and elite enemy troops are carrying some variation of it. Individual armor gear varies between light armor (which is just minimal plating designed to allow freedom of movement) to lightly-powered tactical armor, to heavy powered armor plating that impedes movement but is incredibly resistant to damage. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: A recurring theme over the game is artificial intelligences. Early on, you end up in a discussion with Taarie about the various levels of AI. Levels I through IV are basic drone levels of intelligence, while V and VI are higher-end units like combat drones and domestics. VII and above are AI as intelligent as humans and are very much prohibited by the UFP, because of fears of an AI rebellion. While exploring the Stella Marin, you'll encounter various drones and AI intelligences, including the Housekeeper, which has gone utterly insane due an unknown corruption, and has started turning the ship's domestic robot staff against you. You can talk it down to a degree, and if you spare it, the Housekeeper will help you later on in various ways. While it remains loyal to you, the Prototype has numerous faults in its programming and can randomly malfunction. Malfunctions apply special buffs/debuffs at random such "Divide By Zero" which increases damage dealt 100% but makes you take 100% more damage from enemies. Certain abilities use malfunctions you've built up to fuel them, with them being extremely potent if used with 5 malfunctions active. A 6th malfunction causes the Prototype to temporarily shutdown, wiping its system of malfunctions, and even this shutdown can be used to attack directly thanks to one of its passive skills. Sunbeam 2.0, the representative of Agrigen, is pleasant enough... but she also craves the emotional programming of other AI and will reward the player's team if they copy those from other AI they meet, which drives said AI into a homicidal, berserk frenzy. The ultimate threat in the story is an out of control artificial intelligence that seized control of the Stella Marin and was responsible for activating the Void hyperdrive that killed the crew and passengers. | |

Mecha-Mooks | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_42632336 | comment |
Mecha-Mooks: Mechanized enemies are the most commonly-encountered enemies in the game, and form the bulk of the corporate security forces you'll fight. CorpSec Walkers, Hoplites, and Watchers, as well as their progressively tougher versions, form the main enemies in most corporate maps (labs, Facilities, and Offices). P.E.A.s (Personal Emergency Automotons) form one of the main enemy types encountered on ship maps. B.R.A.H.s and Surveyors are a common enemy type in Mines. Crimson Pact bases will have R.U.M. drones running around, yelling "Avast!" and "Matey!" in combat. On the Stella Marin, you'll encounter virtually nothing but hostile robots, starting with hostile housekeeping bots, medical robots, and mall police drones and progressing to custom-built war machines as you push further into the storyline. | |

Booze-Based Buff | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_469e49de | comment |
Booze-Based Buff: You can find and drink various alcoholic beverages in office, lab, and facility maps that boost some stats and lower others. You can also loot grog, whisky, "tekyilla" and other alcohol from Crimson Pact pirates. Riggo's will also give you free alcohol as you build favor with them, and PAR Entertainment's "swag bags" can contain booze as well. Predictably, drinking one results in the crawler in question getting a serious hangover that will end when the next mission is finished, unless they get the status effect cured. | |

You Have Failed Me: Corps don't take screw-ups well. If you fail a mission, not only do you not get paid but you lose rep with that corporation. Dablue Yutakai apparently takes it a step further, as dialogue with one of their engineers on the Stella Marin indicates they'll do worse than fire him if he fails to find the intelligence he's looking for. If a team of Paladins attacks you, you can use the Void Psyker's Manipulation ability tree to inflict a Mind Rape on their leader. His subordinates will immediately gun him down and take command. | |

Mirror Universe: The Void, where Void Psykers draw their power from, is a twisted and bizarre version of the normal universe where humans can't survive for very long, and populated by monstrous horrors. You end up being pulled into it during one of the missions on the Stella Marin and find yourself surrounded by the corrupted remains of the ships' crew, along with tentacled horrors and an Eldritch Abomination known as the Demogorgon which relentlessly chases you through the ship. | |

Elemental Weapon | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_4ddf989e | comment |
Elemental Weapon: There are several elemental weapon damage types with particular applications: Fire deals extra damage to organic enemies and can inflict damage over time. Electrical weapons can stun enemies, costing them turns. Chemical weapons deal additional damage to armored enemies and increase damage taken. Nanite weapons deal large damage-over-time effects for short periods. Energy weapons disrupt shields. Void weapons are rare and deal reduced damage overall, but pierce shields and almost nothing has an inherent resistance to it. | |

Affably Evil: Some of the corporate contract liaisons are positively nice and friendly people, who will still send kill teams against you and oppress their workers ruthlessly in the name of profit. Dablue Yutakai's representative is a friendly, genial, old-soldier type who will be all too happy to chat with you and send you supplies and support when you get on their good side. He'll also remind you that if you betray them, they'll send out a cult of psykers who specialize in torturing you with your worst fears for hours on end before finally killing you. They also pay you simply for luring UFP security teams into ambushes to kill them. they're also responsible for part of the events on the Stella Marin. Chimera Biopharm's representatives are very straightforward and non-hostile. If you get on their bad side, they won't get angry. They'll just send you a letter expressing their displeasure and then endlessly dispatch kill teams to murder you. They're even willing to forgive you in exchange for testing their various chemical treatments. But they'll also lie through their teeth and let entire colonies die from plague if no one can pay for their cures. Rassa the Hook, leader of Ragnarok, is polite, friendly, and erudite, and quite the charmer. He'll also take control of the robots overrunning the Stella Marin and turn them on everyone. Agrigen is very serene and friendly, and specialize in producing various foodstuffs for the people of the world... except those foodstuffs are incredibly addicting. Their nutrient bars are as good as expensive medikits, but if a crawler eats one, they'll become addicted unless cured. Appropriately, their representative AI, Sunbeam 2.0, is a pleasant enough entity, but she's hungry for the emotions of other A.I.s and will reward the player for downloading them from robots... which will inevitably destroy those AIs. The Social Stage's representative doesn't hide the fact that they engage in large-scale media manipulation for their own ends, but they're still quite friendly and a perfectly willing to bump your standings up with both allies and enemies for a substantial bi of credits and favor. | |

Kleptomaniac Hero | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_5e7c0ab7 | comment |
Kleptomaniac Hero: Crawlers are expected to loot everything they can, and in a typical mission you're expected to grab anything that isn't nailed down. Credit sticks are a readily-available source of money, but you can also steals data chips, coffee cups, and stashes of booze, as well as more high-value items. During one of the story missions, your liaison will lampshade this tendency by saying that a certain route only leads to a janitorial closet, and still expects you to loot all the worthless cleaning supplies. | |

Being Good Sucks | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_72b0dfd2 | comment |
Being Good Sucks: Siding with Workers United and doing altruistic things usually costs you money in the short term, and ultimately will end up with you siding with Ragnarok and their world-ending goals unless you absolutely unambiguously reject Rassa when he makes his offer.. On the other hand, siding with the Accord is probably the best option for an altruistic player in the long term. It is possible to get an ending where Workers United leads the accord but it is not easy. Inverted if you find blackmail material. Boxes containing incriminating photos give you options to report the blackmailer, extort the victim yourself, or destroy the incriminating files. Doing the latter pays nearly as well as extorting the victim. Reporting the blackmail has no benefit. | |

Honest Corporate Executive | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_7a555627 | comment |
Honest Corporate Executive: Several corporations have liaisons who are honest and won't try to lie or cheat. Eliana North, Aurora Starliner's Vice President of Public Relations, is very honest and open with you about their plans and why she's doing what she's doing, and generally treats the crew like valued employees (at least as long as you don't betray them for Ragnarok). She'll even give you warning when her bosses are being less than honest with you, and when you uncover the truth behind Dablue-Yutakai's labs and Void experiments, she'll personally come to warn you at great personal risk. In fact, she's probably the only character you can trust in the main storyline. FoxKin Armory's representative is probably the most trustworthy of the entire lot of corporate liaisons, being a straightforward and honest soldier who consistently rewards honorable behavior and loyalty. GalaxyMart's representative is kind of shady, but he's perfectly willing to give you discounts and access to the company's machines just for doing them a favor and never betrays or lies to the player. TEC Engineer's Corps is generally direct and non-duplicitous, simply because they're too busy doing actual engineering work to try to be sneaky. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_7c862b8a | comment |
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: You can suffer from this, depending on how you treat factions. There's nothing stopping you from turning on a trusted ally and doing a job for one of their enemies to curry favor with them, or simply because they're offering more money or the job is on a map where you want to go. This can backfire if you claim to join Ragnarok, betray the corp extraction team, and then turn around and tell your contacts that Rassa is still alive afterward, since Rassa bugs the saloon and will hear your conversation with your contact and cut off all communication with you. Turned into a mechanic by the Smuggler, who in early levels will often be the last one in your party standing in a tough fight, since his abilities can screw everyone but himself over. | |

Super-Soldier | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_80b57bec | comment |
Soldier: A gun-toting berserker-packing man and a half, the Soldier is heavily-armed and specializes in violence in various forms. He can focus on high-damage critical hits, massive overuse of explosives and fire, or using his experience to protect and lead his teammates. | |

Sudden Downer Ending | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_8124e7a6 | comment |
Sudden Downer Ending: While the game as a whole is a campy, tongue in cheek Black Comedy, every ending is surprisingly bleak, especially the Ragnarok ending.If you're not careful, the game can end with Rassa escaping and killing the leader of the Accord or the UFP. Even if you side with the Accord, the most heroic of the factions and save its leader from Rassa, their best ending still has you covering up one of its members' direct role and responsibility for the Stella Marine disaster. | |

AIs | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_83441d66 | comment |
Agrigen is very serene and friendly, and specialize in producing various foodstuffs for the people of the world... except those foodstuffs are incredibly addicting. Their nutrient bars are as good as expensive medikits, but if a crawler eats one, they'll become addicted unless cured. Appropriately, their representative AI, Sunbeam 2.0, is a pleasant enough entity, but she's hungry for the emotions of other A.I.s and will reward the player for downloading them from robots... which will inevitably destroy those AIs. | |

BFG | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_8344209e | comment |
Heavy Weapons: Consisting of miniguns and rocket launchers, these weapons have very high Time Unit costs but do enormous damage when they hit. These weapons are ideal for characters focused on high-damage skills, though they are restricted to the Force Psyker, Soldier, and Prototype. They also have a passive "Tracking" bonus that increases accuracy every time they miss a target. An actual BFG exists as an equippable item for the Soldier but it's an accessory and not a weapon because the Soldier apparently doesn't have a license to use it yet. | |

Humanoid Abomination | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_851dda8f | comment |
Void Psyker: Connecting to powers from beyond normal time and space, the Void Psyker calls upon eldritch energies to tear apart foes, driving them mad or hammering them with the energies of the void. These abilities come at a price, for the Void Psyker him/herself is not entirely stable, and channeling too much of the power of the Void can cause a devastating, self-destructive backlash. | |

Psychic Powers | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_874176be | comment |
Psychic Powers: Psykers are humans who are born with unusual psychic abilities. They typically form into various cults who are carefully monitored - and frequently employed - by the corporations. Force Psykers are a subset who operate on a vast monastery ship and work as warrior monks who use their powers to create barriers and weapons, while the much rarer Void Psykers are able to tap into the powers of a maddening alternate realm to inflict horrors upon their enemies. | |

Utility Party Member | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_875d8ab9 | comment |
Utility Party Member: All of the classes can be built to hold their own in combat to a certain extent, but some classes come with specific out-of-combat benefits if you invest in certain skill trees that make them particularly useful. Cyber Ninja: They can easily slip into tight squeeze tunnels in mining missions, Assassination can kill targets just like the Smuggler's abilities, but includes everyone including the negotiating targets during exploration. Engineer: They have a variety of helpful exploration options though such as when dealing with suspicious hatches on spaceship runs and unlocking certain doors. The Engineer also has the tools to harvest crystals and valuable ores in mine maps, and the Bolty tree lets them send Bolty himself to scout passages. Force Psyker: Averted. They're the only playable character who has three skill trees which are pretty much exclusively for combat and offer no additional options during events. Their combat potential more than makes up for it, with a staggering number of useful passive abilities available and several powerful moves at their disposal for direct damage or protecting the party. However, one thing that they can do outside of combat is interact with crystals in mine maps to gain information. Hacker: The utility master. Though they can be geared up to be quite competent in combat, their real benefits come from their sheer exploration utility to the point where it's highly recommended to have one in your team. The Rootkit and Malware skill trees offer a large number of options when interacting with technology such as opening locked doors, disabling security cameras, or hacking into terminals. Optimization's less useful for utility but can fix red terminals allowing the group to get into secret chests for extra loot. The Prototype: While a mainly combat-oriented class, having this lovable poetry-spouting killing on a mission can help with events involving other robots, such as avoiding encounters with turrets or negotiating with robots to get assistance on locating objectives or hostiles. Being robotic means they can't eat food, but The Prototype is immune to certain traps such as radiation traps, and can recover its own health rapidly due to a large number of combat-specific regeneration options, so if you do take a lot of trap damage outside of combat from something like laser beams, you generally don't have to worry about using medkits to repair The Prototype. Smuggler: They can potentially negotiate during exploration events, and their knowledge of drugs and illicit materials is useful for identifying valuable chems and crystals. Gunslinger lets them shoot first like Han Solo if they encounter security teams or are ambushed by mercenaries. Cheap Tricks allows them to win at the g-ball betting pool terminals during some office missions. The Dirty Moves tree allows them to disarm booby traps in mines and space ship missions. Soldier: Their Specialist skill tree is handy, giving you the option to shoot down security drones. The Soldier is also very knowledgeable about sports and can reliably place bets if you find illegal gambling terminals in office maps. Void Psyker: Manipulator can Mind Rape targets such as corporate hit squad leaders. Like the Force Psyker, they can also interact with crystals on mine maps. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: The ultimate ability of the Void Psyker’s summoning character path lets you perform a ritual to call upon one for a fraction of a second. If he accepts your sacrifices he instantly kills all your foes. If he refuses, bad things happen to the Void Psyker, including being instantly killed. It's a case of Useless Useful Spell since the risk and difficulty in activating make it highly situational and not worth a skill slot, and Voidstorm in the Evoker skill tree is perfectly capable of wiping out enemy groups without a serious potential disadvantage. The skill is more there for character flavor and probably isn't meant to be used seriously. The Stella Marin turns out to have unwittingly been made into one of these, as you discover on one particular mission. | |

Only in It for the Money | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_895ec17 | comment |
Only in It for the Money: Luna, your pilot, is mostly concerned about her paycheck, and gets a cut of the payout on each mission. She normally covers the fuel costs for each mission herself, but if you try to have her haul things outside of carrying your team, she'll charge you for the expenses. Later on, during "The Train Job", if you spared Riggo in the earlier encounter with him at the end of "The Black Box," he'll be willing to step aside and forget he ever saw you, but only if you pay him a substantial bribe. | |

Fighting Clown | |

Fighting Clown: The Prototype is a haiku-spouting, regularly malfunctioning robot you can recruit to be a team member. In addition to a skill tree that makes use of a more conventional charge cannon, it can buff and heal the team by reciting poetry and take advantage of its own malfunctions to heal. Its commentary during exploration events when it interacts with other robots is also hilarious. | |

Faux Affably Evil | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_95b7c400 | comment |
Faux Affably Evil: Some of the corps' representatives are outwardly friendly, but it's little more than a facade to hide some nasty depravity underneath. Horizon Robotics' liaison in particular is an oily, dishonest PR hack who starts out friendly, but gets cross and unpleasant the moment you start asking questions or demanding more money for high-risk work. This is exemplified by Shazad Patil, Horizon Robotics' CEO. Depending on what path you're on, you may not encounter him until the end of the game where he'll gloat with a smugly polite demeanor about the success of his experiment in spite of the number of deaths he's caused. To him, having you run missions against his drone is nothing more than field-testing and if you're aligned with Horizon Robotics he's essentially hiring your team to use as expendable test subjects. | |

And then as it turns out after you beat the final boss, the drone was actually The Dragon all along; the real Big Bad responsible for the events aboard the Stella Marin is Horizon Robotics, specifically their CEO, who was field testing their new galactic domination technology and who delights at using your team and the crew of the Stella Marin as nothing more than field testing data. | |

Prototype: A robotic killing machine that you acquire a couple of missions into the game (depending on your choices), and capable of withstanding great punishment and dishing it back out in various forms. However, its artificial intelligence is somewhat unstable, leaving it prone to random malfunctions, and it communicates almost entirely in haiku. It is also highly adept at negotiating with robots you encounter throughout the game. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: Many factions' favor-gaining tasks are based on luck. In order to get favor with Grey Solutions, you need to pick up dead drops at Galaxymart vending machines. This is dependent on those machines spawning on the map in the first place, and then on whether that machine actually has a package to pick up. Dablue Yutakai requires you to ambush UFP Paladins on missions marked as "Challenging" or higher. This means you need to not only get a mission marked as "Challenging" or higher for a UFP target (which isn't always available) but that you need to also get through the entire mission in a good enough shape to handle a tough boss fight at the end. If you get some bad luck on security systems or simply run into tough or boss-tier enemies on the mission, you might not be able to survive a fight against the Paladins. PAR Entertainment requires you to activate a camera drone and follow its instructions. Sometimes the drone will ask you to record footage of your team missing in combat, which can be... frustrating to do on purpose. Jiyin Biotech will grant favor if you scan the boluses recovered from Giga Worms. This is, of course, dependent on you actually finding Giga Worms on any given map, as they only spawn on maps that specifically say that the area is overrun by indigenous life, and even then, they're not guaranteed to show up. Kage Industries requires you to attack Kage sites while wearing a certain accessory that marks you as a security consultant who is testing the defenses. This is, of course, dependent on a mission targeting a Kage site showing up in the first place. In rare cases, your objective may randomly spawn inside a security or server room. if you didn't bring an Enginner, hacker, or an omnipass, and can't find any keycards, you're in trouble. | |

Space Western: While the game mostly involves trawling through industrial corridors and mines and shiny corporate offices, the lawless frontier, self-reliant nature of the characters, and competing corporations and outlaws very much lends to the traditional Wild West themes. There's even the Western theme of expanding civilization encroaching on the wild, free frontier with the Accord's formation partway through the story in response to the UFP's profiteering. | |

Kill It with Fire | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_9c1f758a | comment |
Kill It with Fire: Fire-based weapons deal damage over time when they hit, generating a visible flame effect on a target. Since the fire damage applies at the start of the victim's turn, it is good against fast-moving and organic enemies, who rarely have fire resistance. The Soldier's Demolitions tree has abilities that actively encourage setting enemies on fire, as doing so adds charges to the Rocket Barrage ability and the This Is Fine passive increases the fire damage inflicted by the Soldier's other explosive abilities. Midway through the game, after defeating the trash compactor boss, you will get a special flamethrower heavy weapon that will outclass a lot of other heavy weapons for the next ten or so levels. | |

Alliance Meter | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_9d49a7cd | comment |
Alliance Meter: You have one for each corporation and organization, which will rise and fall depending on your actions. If your reputation gets high enough, you can call them on the Wire to arrange special missions or get perks and supplies. If it drops low, however, they'll refuse to talk to you and start sending kill teams and assassin drones after you. Each of the three main factions (UFP, Anarchists, and Accord) also has a faction-wide reputation which can influence how they and other factions respond to you. For example, FoxKin and Gray Solutions will refuse to offer you any benefits if you have a positive standing with the UFP, even if your individual standing with them is good. Most corps also have Favor, which accumulates in various ways and is spent on getting benefits and gear. With some corps, favor accumulates automatically as long as you stay on their side, while others require you to do certain tasks to gain favor. | |

Corporate Warfare: The Crawlers avert this, serving as deniable agents to let the corporations fight each other covertly without having to resort to overt attacks. Partway through the storyline, the prospect is brought up where either the UFP or the Accord can launch an open attack on their rival, but it gets shot down then they realize how much damage (in terms of both money and PR) it would cause. | |

Randomly Generated Levels | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_a456a8a9 | comment |
Randomly Generated Levels: Non-story related missions are randomly generated with a particular logic to how they're created (hallways interconnecting offices, engine sections on the rear end of ships, etc) and are selected from a base type (Mines, Offices, Labs, Ships, etc) and may have components of other map types included. Story missions sometimes have slight randomization in the puzzles such as what password to use. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Most of the endings are surprisingly dark, somber and even tragic for a game that up until then had been a tongue-in-cheek Black Comedy. Even the better endings have victory coming at a great cost. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The Tiny Salamander is an epic Heavy Weapon class flamethrower you can get guaranteed on every playthrough, and has such massively inflated stats and powerful upgrade abilities that it's effective until the very end of the game. Its element also functions with the abilities on the best set of armor in the game you can find behind an Aurora security door on the last story mission of the game. | |

Practical Taunt | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_a9708f7e | comment |
Practical Taunt: Several Crawlers can gain taunts to pull threat from enemies. The most obvious is the Prototype's Demean ability as well as Aegis Mode, while the Engineer can have either Bolty or another construct taunting enemies. The Soldier's Tactician tree has a couple of taunting or threat-boosting otpions. The Smuggler can use a particular trap in the Dirty Moves path or another taunt that boosts their defensive abilities in the Gunslinger tree to draw attention. The Force Psyker's various Prisms will also generate large amounts of threat to draw attention. | |

MegaCorp | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_aa8dcc21 | comment |
Mega-Corp: Nearly two dozen of them, many of whom have exclusive rights to develop and manufacture certain products, while the corporations that do compete do in a manner that is ruthless and brutal (and often requires Crawlers). On top of this, there is the UFP, an alliance of the biggest mega-corps devoted to quashing competition and making as much profit as possible. The dynamics of a world controlled by a collection of mega-corporations is explored in the story. According to the background lore, the previous galactic government was a tyrannical dictatorship that was overthrown about a century ago, and the corporations rose in the ensuing power vacuum. However, while the UFP kept the trains running on time, their strict regulations on certain products, domination of the markets, and mistreatment of workers led to growing unrest, resulting in the formation of anarchist organizations and opposition groups among other corporate powers. The Stella Marin incident is the catalyst for the formation of the Accord by an alliance of other corporations to bring back a central, non-corporate authority in response to the simmering resentment toward the UFP. | |

The Gambler | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_ad0439be | comment |
The Gambler: The Smuggler's strongest skill tree is arguably the one that makes them into this. Coin Toss is powerful and spammable, Bounty can destroy the armor of high priority targets, Double Down can also make them a surprisingly effective healer. Slot Machine is their best damage ability, being inexpensive on credits as well as heavily rigged in your favor for massive multitarget damage. You lose the ability to use most of their Gunslinger skill tree abilities if you're not using a pistol, but a Smuggler can rip apart enemies with their gambling themed skills and can freely make use of any strong weapon they find to do it instead of relying on finding a good pistol. | |

Talkative Loon: Void Psykers tend to alternate between sane and normal speech, slightly off-kilter babbling, and outright insane gibberish. If you bring a Void Psyker with you on the "Anomalous Signal" mission, when you transfer to the alternate dimension, they will start talking in a much more sane and understandable manner. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: The Accord is faced with one once the truth behind the Stella Marin's disappearing crew comes to light: Dablue Yutakai was responsible for unsafe, undocumented, and illegal experimentation with Void-based faster-than-light travel without telling any of the other corporations involved in the Stella Marin colony project. The Accord can justifiably censure Dablue-Yutakai for their crimes, but if they do so they risk losing D-Y's military support for their inevitable war with the UFP. | |

Standard FPS Guns | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_bfc659ba | comment |
Standard FPS Guns: While the game isn't a first-person shooter, the ranged weapon types still apply due to how they're used in combat. of note is that weapons' stats also impact the effectiveness of various abilities, both in terms of accuracy and how much damage they do. Pistols: Lightweight and fast with a low Time Unit cost and high accuracy, offset by low damage output. This makes them ideal weapons for characters more focused on rapidly laying down abilities such as Manipulation-focused Void Psykers, defensive-focused Force Psykers, or Hackers and Engineers. The Smuggler uses them as their Weapon of Choice, and is able to go Guns Akimbo with them for massive damage. Pistols have a passive "Zeroing" buff that increases their damage with each shot to the same target. Shotguns: Heavy weapons firing multiple slugs, with a very high damage output and also a high Time Unit cost. The multiple slugs they fire mean that at least some of the shots are going to hit, making them useful for guaranteed damage, and they have a very high critical hit chance. Submachineguns: Able to lay down large amounts of bullets, but with low damage output. Their high rate of fire makes it hard for enemies to dodge them, and the hail of bullets has a passive armor-shredding effect that reduces damage reduction from armor. Rifles: A mixture of assault rifles, marksmen rifles, and sniper rifles, these weapons have a high Time Unit cost but also extremely high accuracy, making them reliable weapons, especially when you need to make sure that you abilities always hit home. Rifles also possess the Shield Breaker ability, which strips extra layers off of a shield whenever they hit. Heavy Weapons: Consisting of miniguns and rocket launchers, these weapons have very high Time Unit costs but do enormous damage when they hit. These weapons are ideal for characters focused on high-damage skills, though they are restricted to the Force Psyker, Soldier, and Prototype. They also have a passive "Tracking" bonus that increases accuracy every time they miss a target. An actual BFG exists as an equippable item for the Soldier but it's an accessory and not a weapon because the Soldier apparently doesn't have a license to use it yet. Melee Weapons: Melee weaponry has an advantage of being highly accurate and able to pierce shields, and typically comes in the form of one-handed swords, paired swords, or enormous warhammers or axes. | |

The Engineer's expertise also has applications at disarming traps, bypassing locked doors, and dealing with various hatches that appear on spaceship runs. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_cbe687ab | comment |
Corrupt Corporate Executive: With so many MegaCorps running around, it shouldn't be any surprise that these are a dime a dozen. That being said, the most obvious example is Chimera Biopharm, who hire you in the first mission to recover medical supplies that they were never paid for. A quick check of the supplies shows that they were already paid for, and the Chimera is lying through their teeth just to save some money. Horizon Robotics' liaison will also outright lie to you on the first Stella Marin mission when he says that transmitting the black box's contents won't corrupt it and you can still return it to Aurora. This sets up a pretty consistent pattern of behavior that Horizon Robotics are corrupt and untrustworthy, and ultimately were directly responsible for the Stella Marin disaster as part of a plot to conquer the galaxy. | |

Thankfully, the escortees are not really a hassle to protect, since they have a naturally low threat level and only shoot one enemy at a time. Enemies will prioritize killing your Crawlers over the escort. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: UFP members will never send you against other UFP members, preventing you from negatively impacting allies' reputations. Similarly, the Accord's members will not have you attack each other, even before they form, to prevent you from accidentally getting your rep with them too low before that faction emerges. Galaxymart and Grey Solutions will also not attack each other, because their favor-gained mechanisms are dependent on each other. Factions who despise you will have a delay between sending their kill-teams after you, to give you time to resupply, heal dead/wounded crawlers, and gain levels and gear before the next fight. Usually only a couple of factions will be trying to kill you at any given time, and they'll send you letters warning you about the incoming attack. If your total number of medkits starts dropping low, the next mission will usually have a decent number of medkits scattered around the map. If there's a significant level difference in the crawlers you're bringing on a mission, the map will spawn intellifoam canisters to let you catch up in experience points. Weapons and armor on a map will always drop at the same level as the mission, letting you outfit lower level crawlers or crawlers whose gear hasn't caught up yet. | |

Trauma Inn: Returning to STIX after a mission will automatically heal health damage taken during the mission, although status effects will linger until cured by using a CureAll dose or visiting the medbay. This gets averted on higher difficulty levels, where health isn't automatically recovered upon returning and you'll always need to visit the medbay if you're not carrying a pile of medkits around. | |

Character Class System | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_e4878443 | comment |
Character Class System: There are seven starting classes and an eighth that you can unlock after a couple of missions into the storyline. Cyberninja: A mechnically-augmented ninja specializing in melee weaponry, whose abilities focus on setting up combos points to inflict massive damage on enemies. The Cyberninja can develop along branches that inflict damage across multiple enemies, focus on taking down single targets, or use stealth to evade attacks and set up devastating backstabs. Engineer: a gifted specialist in building machines, the Engineer is able to build autonomous robots, either flooding the battlefield with multiple short-living machines or employing "Bolty" a single powerful robot who can draw damage and take hits. The Engineer can also focus on a "Rigger" path that allows them to focus on a more combat-oriented path centered on jury-rigged weaponry. The Engineer's expertise also has applications at disarming traps, bypassing locked doors, and dealing with various hatches that appear on spaceship runs. Force Psyker: A heavily-armored Warrior Monk trained in wielding psychic powers to create barriers and weapons. Can serve as a dedicated protector of allies by creating shields and barriers, or an offensive warrior who smites foes with psychic hammers. Hacker: A security specialist who focuses on defeating security and supporting their allies in combat through complex nanomachines used to buff his team and debuff their enemies. While not being particularly powerful in direct combat, the Hacker is a master at crowd control effects and support, as well as bypassing enemy security while exploring dungeons. Damage Over Time is their bread and butter and with the proper passive skills backing them up they can be an absolute terror. Smuggler: A gunslinging, dirty-fighting, smooth-talking criminal who specializes in larceny. The Smuggler can focus on dealing direct damage by dual-wielding pistols, using a variety of traps and crowd-controlling grenades, or simply relying on pure luck and chance. The Smuggler's esoteric criminal knowledge also comes in handy while exploring and dealing with drugs and stolen goods. Soldier: A gun-toting berserker-packing man and a half, the Soldier is heavily-armed and specializes in violence in various forms. He can focus on high-damage critical hits, massive overuse of explosives and fire, or using his experience to protect and lead his teammates. Void Psyker: Connecting to powers from beyond normal time and space, the Void Psyker calls upon eldritch energies to tear apart foes, driving them mad or hammering them with the energies of the void. These abilities come at a price, for the Void Psyker him/herself is not entirely stable, and channeling too much of the power of the Void can cause a devastating, self-destructive backlash. Prototype: A robotic killing machine that you acquire a couple of missions into the game (depending on your choices), and capable of withstanding great punishment and dishing it back out in various forms. However, its artificial intelligence is somewhat unstable, leaving it prone to random malfunctions, and it communicates almost entirely in haiku. It is also highly adept at negotiating with robots you encounter throughout the game. | |

Big Creepy-Crawlies | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_eb4086e3 | comment |
Big Creepy-Crawlies: The two main types of aliens you'll encounter: Space Mites and Rock/Astral Worms. The former are voracious swarms of hungry bugs who are mostly legs and a gaping mouth. The latter infest mines or space ships. They are most commonly fought on spaceship and mine maps, though they sometimes show up in office or facility maps if the briefing mentions the base has been overrun by native life forms. | |

Resignations Not Accepted | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_ebb900a7 | comment |
Resignations Not Accepted: Though lesser workers can get fired or quit without repercussions, the corps are less happy about highly-placed security officers defecting and bringing their secrets to another corporation, and often hire Crawlers to... "settle a labor dispute" and "deliver their severance packages." | |

Take Over the World | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_ec0bf4a1 | comment |
Take Over the World: This is ultimate goal of Horizon Robotics. The drone that's taken over the Stella Marin and is responsible for the events in the game is just them field testing new technology which will enable Horizon Robotics to do exactly that. | |

Bomb-Throwing Anarchists | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_ec90f86f | comment |
Bomb-Throwing Anarchists: A loose collection of anarchist groups forms a faction opposing the UFP at the start of the game. Midway through the storyline, they unite under Ragnarok to form a third faction opposing the UFP and the Accord. Interestingly, both Galaxymart and Grey Solutions are considered "anarchist" groups and conduct a lot of shady business practices. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_ecb70eb4 | comment |
Videogame Cruelty Potential: You are a morally-questionable mercenary, after all. Some cruel and pragmatic options are available, such as the Cyberninja ruthlessly assassinating random office workers to prevent alarms. You can report illegal betting pools to the corporations or even siphon off credits from the betting pool (which the Hacker will express disapproval of). If you find blackmail material, you can extort corporations or individuals for money. | |

Fighter, Mage, Thief | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_edae412c | comment |
Fighter, Mage, Thief: The lines get a little blurred with some of the classes, but the Soldier, Force Psyker, and Prototype are obvious fighters, with high HP, heavy armor, all weapon options, and abilities focused on drawing threat and protecting the party while also hurting the enemy. The Smuggler and Cyberninja are the Thieves, with stealthy abilities that direct threat elsewhere and classical thief-styled powers like backstabbing and traps. The Void Psyker, Hacker, and Engineer are Mages, with high-damage abilities or battlefield control powers that let them manipulate the enemy or call up summoned allies, but lighter armor and limited weapon options. The blurriness comes with certain builds, as the Hacker has many of the Thief's traditional roles in the party (unlocking doors and traps) while the Smuggler can become a battlefield controller or massive damage dealer with the proper builds, turning them into a Mage. | |

Bonus Boss | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_ee0327e7 | comment |
Bonus Boss: The Halloween mission features an extremely difficult boss whose main gimmick is a special full-party stun ability that fires off every time it takes a turn. This happens before it uses its actual (and very dangerous) attacks, and happens even if it's stunned. The stun check is based on the Fear element, a resistance that never comes into play elsewhere in the game, so if you went into this mission without first buying those special Fear-resist accessories for your team and gobbling all the candies you find, it can lock down your team's turns with constant stuns. Its actual attacks also hit extremely hard, and inflict lethal effects such as making the victim takes damage whenever the boss is attacked until the victim's next turn. If you purposefully piss off various factions until they hate you, they'll eventually send some unique assassins out to try and kill you that qualify as a potential Bonus Boss. In some office maps there are red terminals which, if successfully hacked, will open hidden doors to high-value chests. Very rarely, these doors will also spawn a very tough boss to fight as well. Pissing off a corporation enough will have them hire House Scuderre, a notorious assassin's guild, to send an assassin droid after you. This droid is dangerous enough that it comes with its own unique boss music. | |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_f3cf30d9 | comment |
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: You can only bring four Crawlers on a mission. Apparently Luna's ship can't fit any more. Justifiable, as her ship is essentially a decked-out shuttlecraft. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| StarCrawlers (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Early on in the storyline, the player can talk to the Housekeeper and, with the right choices or party members, put it into repair mode. What follows is a series of dialogue choices where you pick out a series of compiler errors in the machine's code. The Hacker can easily identify them, but otherwise you'll need to either guess or have some familiarity with real-world programming languages to know what the errors are. | |
