I actually beat annihilation mode with relative ease, although that may have something to do with the fact that I use an SNES controller :3 I actually probably had a harder time with hard mode overall, mostly because it was waaaay longer than annihilation mode

[BeholdMyStrength]

@Jman37X Yeah, hard mode was insane. The room with the two Annihilators took me a couple hours to beat. Although, looking back at it, there were only 2 exceptionally difficult spots. The aformentioned Annihilator room, and the Level 7 (?) Boss. (The Mech where it's only vulnerable point was it's small core who's name escapes me.). But still, definitely not a walk in the park by any means.

[Jman37X]

@BeholdMyStrength Also, I think I figured out which boss you were talking about, does the Guardian Zone ring any bells? Giant robot that splits in 2 when his health gets low?

[BeholdMyStrength]

@Jman37X That's the one.

[SkellionPowalskiz]

Eh, this seemed like a pretty lame prequel, Iji was a fun game, no question, but it really wasn't anything compared to this, and to have the two share a video game universe is really a bit of an insult to Hero in my opinion.

Plus, the Kamato Annihilator looks a lot better in Hero's graphics than in Iji's, it was just too simplistic too look cool in Iji, too little detail.

[BeholdMyStrength]

@SkellionPowalskiz I dunno, I rather enjoyed Iji, and thought it was absolutely great. Although the amount of effort he put into creating it probably blurs my vision a bit (Game Mkaer...I mean C'MON!), but still.

Although I will agree with your second statement, having all the extra detail on the Annihilator is quite good. Love the fact that you can see that this thing has been through hell.

[Ponicalica]

Trollis was one of the testers for Iji who died during the development process.

[Aurabolt]

There is one more secret that I know of. The room above..I believe it is the third save point, before the large snake you died to in the second part? There's a hatch with a different coloring. Go through it, you'll find ships. Inside this secret, there is a map to the whole Ciretako and something I have yet been unable to understand about Drones.

I am the heroest hero of Herocore.

Did the Grand Annihilator Beta or whatever it exactly is kill itself by firing the Massacre?

Kind of surprising, though not caring for their health fits Komato Annihilatos in general and especially this example in particular.

By the way, I always considered those "super-charged shots" MPFBs, mainly due to their appearance, and the Guardian's (the Level 7 mecha-'s) blaster which fires three of these and is exactly like a MPFB Devastator.

[Jman37X]

@BeholdMyStrength Can't recall exactlly which boss you're talking about at the moment, but I do recall hearing about the double-annihilator room, and I recall seeing it in the game, but I never remember actually doing that room, so maybe it actually isn't required? I'm not sure, though, I'm playing through the game again on all difficulties, and I'm almost done with easy mode already, so I'll have to see.

By the way, the Reaper Drone boss fight is actually MORE difficult on both difficulties with the Drone shapeshift... rather than the Drones coming after you and presenting themselves for orderly extermination, they randomly move about the area... and knowing David Remar, this was purposefully done to slam people who tried to abuse their knowledge.

The man thinks of everything... putting this on TV Tropes under "Dev Team Thinks of Everything".

[Death2NewGods]

@Dash123456789Brawl

This satisfactorily explains to me why Tetron's machines, who have no reason to be afraid of anything ((not even Flip Hero who, for spoiler reasons, they should be)) are afraid of the Ciretako. They are Komato, or at least Komato built. Additionally, if this were tens of thousands of starturns or even a few hundred starturns in the future, the rebuilt Earth in BOTH endings would have the ability to put down Tetron, assuming even a slow technological growth.

[Death2NewGods]

@Dash123456789Brawl

Both of those make sense, but I personally hold that the Komato, despite the token efforts of Tor, Anasaksie, and others to further peace, created Tetron as a machine that would make war FOR them. Sounded good... but the Komato were far too along the path of self-destruction, and Tetron decided to go after the Komato as best it could: Zentraidon.

Following its destruction of the Komato in the near future of Iji, it goes after Earth / Origin to do what Tor never did.
