[Tormuse]

So, I felt inspired by Moonshine Fox's game to try this out again.  It's been a while since I played and I think it shows that I've grown too dependent on the features available in the 0.8.4 version beta, because I didn't make it.  :(  Oh well...

I tried playing as a Marine for the challenge and got as far as level 6.  I spent most of my time in the storage tower, trying to stock up on ammo, while making occasional trips into the military tower in the hopes of finding a heavy weapon so I could have some diversity of ammo types available.  (which I never found)  In the end, I died as a result of a pair of Elites that came at me at once.  I killed one of them and was trying to back off from the other one so I could use a med pack, when a Hunter came out of nowhere and made things more difficult.  I probably should have used a stimpack at that point to help me escape, but I was so low on health that I figured they'd probably kill me while I was using it.  In the end, I died at the same time as using a med pack.

[Moonshine Fox]

Do shotguns work well against higher level enemies? I've noticed they're extremely OP against the low level aliens due to the knockback.

[Tormuse]

It's been a while since I played this version, but as I recall, the shotgun is overpowered against everything.  I think they did a bit of rebalancing in the beta, but there's probably still more to be done.
