Seeing this at the end of 5 years anniversary stream was so good.
Highly recommend anyone that love tower defense and can tolerate the gacha aspect to play it. Beside all the awesome treatment of the devs toward their artists and communities, beautiful arts, music and animations, its story offers really sharp critique of capitalism: American prison system, American healthcare system, England oppression of Ireland,...
In the lastest main story chapter, we are shown glimpse of a growing movement of the oppressed that I feel is just a stand in for a revolutionary left movement. Here is a quote from its leader:
"He said to ignore the Infected in positions of power, because they still enjoy exploiting others with their authority and see disease as only a tool. And that we should also grant the same kind of liberation to any oppressed people, and not just our sick brethren. Because they can fight alongside us, and we'll need their strength to put up a fight. ... What we want is to send a message to all the aristocrats, and oppressors, those trying to divide, suppress, and eliminate us— The blade they so despise hangs high above their necks."
Best part of all is the stand in for France had been utterly destroyed before the game story even started
Leave it to the Chinese to be able to construct stories with substance in this period of capitalist decay
theyre also
sor so i hear...
I think only two people are explicitly gay in the game, the rest are implied (some heavily) subtext. The fans run with those subtext though, lots of good fan contents for every type of parings. Texlapp is one of most popular one for example, two mafia heiresses, one ran from their past life, the other chased after to see her failed and be dragged back into the swamp. The event that resolved their conflict was super great and brought us this banger.
Best place to look for more is under the Arknights tag on tumblr.
Texas x lappland also known as Kiryu x Majima
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
as someone who is slightly obssesed with the game:
there is one confirmed lesbian, scavenger. Her files also give way for the provence x scavenger ship, but there is no mention of how provence feels towards scavanger anywhere. altough i would be willing to say that whatever talulah had going with her girl might also count.
there are also some highly implied lesbian couples, most notably saria x silence, franka x liskarm and gavial x tomimi.
then there is a lot of "kinda makes sense", such as: hoshiguma x chen, specter x irene, mostima x exusiai, kristen x saria, exusiai x texas, texas x mostima, the Penguin Logistics Polycule (texas x croissant x sora x mostima x exusiai + somtimes lappland), nian x lava, mostima x fiametta
but well, the fandom is fine with anything really, its a total anything goes thing there like TexLapp makes no real sense in the story, but no one cares its cute (okay, there is the history that it was not fully clear if it was story acurate until Il Siracusano released, and that was only around a year ago)
i love the story of ak, it is so well done.
if i feel like it i might do a big dump of lefty arknights story soonTM
