Galaxy Adventure 2 - Emergence
Kaidan Telecommunications found that their initial instalment in their Galaxy Adventure series wasn't doing so well with the critics. In spite of harsh reviews, they began to work on their next game in the series, promising major improvements and the ability to add unofficial modifications the game.
The overall focus seems to have shifted away from some of the RPG elements in favour of more seamless combat and exciting action than the last game, with improvements to certain character builds from the previous game.
Story
20 years have passed since the original plot, it is revealed that the protagonist of the first game, having defeated the Mishhuvurthyar swarms and married one of the playable characters (Kara for males, Hank for females) and they settled down to have a family on Tami. The son/daughter of the couple has grown up and just finished college. He/She is ready to tackle the universe.
Like the previous game, it begins with naming your character and modifying his/her personal appearance. You can play as a Yamataian, a Nepleslian, an Elysian or a Kohanian (all varieties). Each race has their different abilities, strengths and weaknesses.
Jobs
- Strong Hero - Character relies on her brute strength and force to plow through the game.
- Swift Hero - Character relies on swift reactions and grace for any situation.
- Tough Hero - Character relies on her healthy bodies and stubbourness against all odds.
- Smart Hero - Character relies on their various studies and calculating to win the battle.
- Dedicated Hero - Character relies on her interpersonal skills and empathy to see her through.
- Charismatic Hero - Character relies on a quick tongue and wit to confound and conquer.
- Lucky Hero - A randomised mix of everything. Can produce strange character builds.
Skills
A common complaint found in the previous game is that there were too many skills to choose from and that it made character choices confusing. To combat this, Kaidan decided to group relevant skills and allow the character to pick 5 major skills to use through the entire game.
| Name | Key Stat | Description |

| Acrobatics | DEX | Allows the character to evade oncoming bullets better, jump higher and land with less damage. |
| Athletics | STR | Allows characters to regenerate stamina quicker. |

Like the previous game, there are loads and loads of characters which can be recruited. Recruited Characters have only 3 or 4 skills to chose from.

Endings
Each of the endings is named after the Protagonist's first words before the game ends.
- “Wait, what am I doing!?” - Walk back into the house and decide to stay there for a day or two, eventually the game will end with an epilogue detailing your character's boring life.
- “I Ripped 'em all a new one!” - The newest resurgence of Mishhu to the galaxy was defeated by the protagonist and his crew! History repeating itself and adventure proving to run in the family blood!
- “I won't need your help.” - The Protagonist defeats the Resurgence single handedly. Being the toughest bastard alive, he disappears…
- “I'm taking over this hellhole!” - In the mission 'To Hell', when you defeat the Pit Fiend and have an infamy that's 20 points higher than your reputation, you have the choice to to, instead of destroying hell, take it over. Could've done with new management anyway. Sometimes seen as a nonstandard game over by fans.
- “Groovy.” - Through all of your deeds in the Nepleslian part of space, you are hailed as a hero and elected Mayor of funky city. You cleaned up the streets good.
- “Total Power Armour Mode - ENGAGE!” - The Protagonist takes command of a virtual army of Powerarmors and drives the Mishu all the way back to their home planet. Then sets up a defensive network that effectively holds them there till doomsday.
- “HOLY CRAP!!” - A non-standard game over at a critical moment in the game if the character is defeated by the Mishhu during the final battle. You made a good flesh incubator.
- “Bad friggin' idea.” - The character creates his own empire and decides to take on the entire universe. This is the character's reaction to one of the superpowers wanting to invade.
- “Take a number and wait in line.” - The noncanonical Harem ending for the girls. The protagonist must've recruited all of the possible male characters and gotten friendly with each of them. The option to build a “Harem” at your home base comes available, unlocking this ending. (Hank does not count towards this.)
- “Well! Good evening ladies!” - The noncanonical Harem ending for the guys. The protagonist must've recruited all of the possible female characters and gotten friendly with each of them. The option to build a “Harem” at your home base comes available, unlocking this ending. (Kara does not count towards this.)
- “So YOU'RE all behind this.” - On the second playthrough, you can find a Developer's Room somewhere in space. It contains caricatures of the developers, who were busy playing and making this game. The protagonist and his friends just shrug and join them for a beer.
- “The world shall bow before me.” - Similar to the bad ending of Galaxy Adventure 1 where the Protagonist sides with the Mishhu and leads the Resurgence, destroying and enslaving the entire universe.
OOC
Work in progress, yo!
