Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Vangers: One for the road is a Russian Wide-Open Sandbox game created by K-D Lab in 1998. It can be described as a racing role-playing adventure game with a complicated storyline. It was praised for its unique atmosphere, freedom and innovative engine, but it had never become popular enough.The first thing to hit the eye is the game's enormous Backstory. In a nutshell, the intelligent human "Spirits" have been contacted by the enigmatic Infinite Mind, and the technologies obtained from the contact have enabled the humanity to travel between worlds by creating the Passages. The worlds were systematically colonized by the enthusiasts, but then everything went horribly wrong when the Cryspo were discovered, which turned out to be something more than the usual beasts the humans have been casually hunting down during the colonization. The Clash ensued, and humanity was on the brink of extinction, and then, in desperation, an attempt was made to defeat the Cryspo using the genetic intrusion. Unexpectedly, it affected humans as well, and the results were not pretty: the "Softie" and the Cryspo were fused together, forming the freakishly unstable Bouillon of Spawn. The resulting biomass was evolving for eons, barely sustaining its existence, and eventually the genetic chaos gave birth to three different Bios: the Eleepods, the Beeboorats and the Zeexen. The only living things unaffected were the Larvae, which, before the Clash, were implicitly controlling the Cryspo with a complex system of pheromones. The new lifeforms have inherited the human mind and the Cryspos' instincts, which bind certain behavioral patterns to the smell of certain pheromones, and thus had stuck in performing pointless endless rituals to give their mind a twisted kind of purpose.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Now, disregard all that.The Vangers are unknown entities bound to their mechos (autonomous all-terrain cars). Nobody really knows how they appeared and what they really are - their existence is just taken for granted. The Vangers play the role of truckers, traders, pirates - pretty much any role, as long as it is profitable. You are a newborn Vanger, and your only goal for now is to survive in this wicked world...The game was succeeded by Perimeter, which, while being an RTS, used the same Verse and was partially based on the Vangers' voxel engine. It is currently being ported to Linux by its devoted community. | |

Vangers (Video Game) / int_1049848f | comment |
Aliens Speaking English: Arguable. While the Bios' speech does get interpreted as human speech, it could be a Translation Convention, as they all speak Simlish. Furthermore, every councilor has a totally different sort of Simlish, but it is implied that even different Bios can understand each other. Go figure. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
Vangers (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical The Iron Shadow mechos. It has an awesome shield regeneration, lots of armour, a large weapon slot, a big cargo hold, a fast engine... But is next to impossible to handle, as it tends to topple a lot. The Crustest Cannon - it is incredibly powerful, and can even damage the underground mechos, but the shot is painfully slow, and flies in an arc, so it can only be used on cornered enemies. The Boot Sector. Yes, you can own multiplue mechos; yes, you can be immortal with this thing. But when you use it you are transfered to the main escave. Into a raffa. Without the rubbox. With the Boot Sector that takes 3 of 4 raffa's cargo cells. All your cargo stays in your old mechos, and to get it back, you have to warp into that mechos again and throw it out, or destroy the mechos. At least it doesn't take your beebs. Also, warping to the main escave rewrites the autosave. And to drive the point home, the abandoned mechos are likely to be dismantled. Go ahead and leave your Last Moggy now. I dare you. | |

After the End: New game starts with several screens of text explanation. Current state of the game world derives from Earth people and an alien race they ran into during rampant colonization of other worlds. There was a thoughtless attack, escalation of conflict to the point of use of weapons of mass destruction indiscriminately, the link of to Earth was severed and all life that inhabit the current world is something different and reevolved after the original species were wiped out. | |

No Fair Cheating: Surprisingly, in-game! Try to activate the aforementioned Mechanic Messiah's function, and you will be present a message that you, the Vanger, have failed the test and will be utilized. This makes sense in context, because this breaks the purpose of the Vanger program, to teach the self-learning AI, which will be loaded into Vanger in the future, by your - the player's - actions. | |

Driven to Suicide The Spread Spot mechos' description calls it a perfect mechos for a desperate Vanger willing to go out with a bang. Now that is Driven To Suicide. Any Bios, if you supply it with all the Larvae, soon loses its purpose and dies. If you pick the Parapheen's route, you're not told about the Thanatos Gambit (see below), so you have to figure it out yourself. While the councilors do drop subtle hints, you'll probably just kill yourself out of boredom, if you play for the first time. | |

Wham Episode: The Xplo escave. After a chat with Parapheen you find out that there is more to the Chain than meets the eye, and just how frail the Bios' life is. | |

Sword of Plot Advancement: Any of the unique Mechos. You'll need one to convince Parapheen that you are "one" and get a key to Threall. 5.000.000 beebs will do the job just as well, but it's never mentioned beforehand. | |

Vangers (Video Game) / int_9a8b3185 | comment |
Disk One Nuke: The Leepuringa, which can be stolen from Leepky. It merely gives you +50 luck, and can be found early in the game. When you steal it, Leepky sends a heavily armed assassin after you. You can turn it to your advantage by using the boosted luck to find an Incarnator in high-leveled secret places and using it to steal the assassin's mechos. So you can wind up in a high-end mechos even before you win your first Eleerection. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
Vangers (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The Last Moggy. It has 2 giant weapon slots, huge cargo hold and an absurd armour value. The description calls it "a wheeled escave", and that's not an exaggeration: you may want to carry a Degradator with you just to be able to enter some escaves. Its only downside is the shape of its cargo hold: it doesn't allow you to carry a conlarver. It was probably made this way just to keep the players from sticking to one mechos. | |

Shrink Ray | |
Vangers (Video Game) / int_ae50d11c | comment |
Shrink Ray: While not really a ray, the Degradators qualify. They can be used both to shrink your enemies for a Curb-Stomp Battle, and to shrink yourself to squeese through tight passages. The Protractor has the self-shrink as a built-in function. Also, the Mechanic Messiah can turn you into a Beeb. You can use both of these functions simultaneously for hilarious effect. | |

Everything Breaks: One of the engine's gimmicks. Your every action affects the terrain. Jumping from under a bridge leaves a cartooney hole in it, the mechos leave tire tracks, the ground gets disfigured by explosions... It makes one wonder how the architecture of the Chain was still intact by the time you start playing. Luckily, storing all the terrain changes between saves is optional. | |
