Do Not Steal 02: Lancer
Manage episode 289559253 series 2908158
This month on Do Not Steal, we never said we had to like the games we covered.
We have a lot of strong words for Lancer: about its slapdash use of leftist concepts and theory, about its uncritical acceptance of imperial and liberal frameworks, and about the confused storytelling of the world it creates. Afterwards, we take what we like and sit down to make some absolutely terrible mech pilots.
Two sides of the same black market cloning program: one girl made as a designer baby who's outlived her usefulness as a commander and leader, one girl made as a disposable shock trooper who decided to burn bright and live forever. Co-leaders of a squad of clone mercenaries until death do they part. Will they ever be able to truly communicate and understand each other? No, but the drama will be delicious.
