Padge Plays! YOLO Edition - Orion Trail (2015 - Schell Games) Lets Play Orion Trail Gameplay Part 6
3Welcome to Padge Plays! YOLO Edition with Orion Trail by Schell Games! Orion Trail is a take on the Oregon Trail style of game where you are tasked with captaining a space ship over several missions whilst travelling along Orion's Belt with a crew picked and named by yours truly. And as we always do with this type of game I've picked the 3 most recent commentators on the channel and thrown them in to mortal peril with myself at the helm because if you're going to die you might as well take some people with you!
In this episode we are continuing on mission 3, and it's fair to say we're struggling with the RNG on this one. Every time we seems to make any headway whatsoever we are then given the shaft a few turns later. Crew is a big issue this time around and it seems whatever we try and do to stem the flow of crew deaths along the trail to the station at the end the game decides to punish us some more. I even try to rap to cheer the crew up!
It doesn't end well I'm afraid.
-- ABOUT THE GAME --
Your Orders Captain?
Dare to travel the absurd and dangerous Orion Trail, where only the luckiest, bravest, and most stubborn captains will make it all the way to the end. Come face the terrible and weird Synapsion Brain Beast. Cower before the pedantic might of Baxxtor the Instructor. Submit to the overwhelming cuteness of the three eyed Warp Weasel. Become famously incredible or incredibly dead!
Ultra Cool Space Features:
A high-stakes and hilarious journey through the strange, stupid and terrifying locales of the Orion Trail!
Choose your crew, name them after your friends, and watch them die! Heroically! Or, you know, maybe they’ll survive. Anything can happen!
Tons of random encounters, each with a variety of options and outcomes. You’ll probably never encounter the same thing twice! You might, though.
Away Missions! Send an Officer (with a few of your invaluably expendable Redshirts) into the fray. The rewards are great, but so is the risk…
Carefully manage your Resources: Food, Fuel, Hull, and Redshirts. Curse loudly as they’re whittled away.
Play to your strengths! Each captain, and officer provide different bonuses to increase your chances of success.
Succumb to the chaos of the Probability Drive. You can rely on your Crew’s abilities, but there are no certainties in space.
Chiptune soundtrack by Rainbow Kitten.
Gorgeous retro pixel art.
