It's interesting. The Powersuit mod for HDest has been around a while, heaven knows the initial recording of this session was done around July. And yet, it took me this long to release something with this thing in tow. Quite an impressive mod, an introduction to something that's fairly limited in the world of HDest modding, vehicles. While there are some attempts (including one from yours truly that didn't quite work out that well) to make mods for HDest that implements vehicles, I'll say that Bogus' powersuit is the one that finally somewhat gets it right.

Fittingly for HDest, using the powersuit comes with its own complications and setup. It's not gonna be Shogo-levels of "same movement and controls, not much changed except you're now bigger". The mech requires maintenance, it's going to need to be reloaded from the outside, it's slow and bulky, but of course to match it comes incredible firepower and increased resilience (aside from the small print that fireballs are going to stick on the mechs and pretty much set your caboose ablaze unpleasantly). One thing that's particularly neat is that if you're playing coop, one person can man the mech while another maintains it from the outside. Makes for a really nice working-together link even with a mod that's seemingly quite powerful indeed.

Naturally, with a mod like this, the mapset has to be adjusted to match. I believe a short trek through the lands of Sunlust ought to give our intrepid demonhunters a good kick in the shin for their mechs, hmm? I hope I won't need to explain much regarding Sunlust. It's one of the winners for 2015's Cacoward, and also a particularly tough mapset to crack. Running it with HDest even with the mech mod's gonna be a challenge indeed. Let's see if we can have at it, shall we?
