Let's Play Mirror's Edge: Catalyst | Episode 11: Encroachment | Counterattack | KSEC Sentry Turrets
2Welcome back to Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, a reboot of 2008's Mirror's Edge with improved graphics, refined gameplay, and a completely original story. The tale follows Faith, a Runner in Glass, Cascadia, a fictional country in a fantasy world where a comunist government got overtaken by private corporations. After a stint in Kreuger's Juvenile home for a period of three months and finding herself in debt to Dogen, a local crime boss, Faith is finally released and must work off her debt as soon as possible. On a high-paying job, she finds herself tailing an OMNISTAT spy and steals something valuable from him. This device could be her salvation or her unmaking. The game primarily focuses on Parkour even though it has fighting and combat ever now and then. It is a first person 3D platformer.
While Rebecca had graciously allowed Faith to rest at her headquarters, she had to cut her rest short when KSEC began raiding their tunnels. Apparently, they had been installing new Sentry Turrets that have the capability to kill any unauthorised personnel in the vicinity.
Since this would make things difficult for Black November, Faith was tasked with eliminating the turrets. To make matters a bit more challenging, the turrets were manned by KSEC elements that had to be neutralised before Faith would be destroy the turret. One of the benefits of being in the sewers is the fact that there are steep falls and drops all over the place. This makes it easy to get rid of durable machines by simply pushing them off high platforms and letting gravity take care of the rest.
By the time that Faith had gotten rid of the third turret, the entire defensive manoeuvre was over and Faith was called back to discuss the counteroffensive.
Here is how Faith dealt with the KSEC encroachment:
