Vita Club, originally streamed live at twitch.tv/masukomiclub, is where we select and play Playstation Vita games. In this edition we play Freedom Wars, a Mosnter Hunter-esque action RPG. In Part 7 we coerce Julien into helping us again, run some missions, and (of course) get punished a few times.

From Wikipedia:

"Freedom Wars is a Japanese action role-playing video game developed by SCE Japan Studio exclusively for the PlayStation Vita. Set in the distant future at a time where the majority of humankind is imprisoned in penal city-states known as Panopticons which wage war against one another, the game involves players cooperating together to fight against enemies and contribute towards their Panopticon. The game has proven to be among the most successful first-party PlayStation Vita titles within Japan, having attained the second highest all-time opening sales for Vita software sold there...The game is a third-person battle action game, and features local and online multiplayer functionality, both co-operative and competitive, for up to eight players. The game features a grappling whip called the 'thorn' that the player can use to zip across the battlefield and pull giant enemies to the ground. Different classes of thorns also grant various special techniques, such as traps, healing, and shields. Players fight alongside androids known as Accessories which provide combat support during missions; the player gives a set of commands to their Accessory that they execute, which include holding a position, collecting materials, or rescuing civilians...Missions involve players fighting against giant mechanized weapons known as Abductors, and rescuing civilians captured by them. Accessories can be abducted by enemy Abductors once they have fallen, and in such cases the player is required to rescue them. In addition to hunting and rescue type missions, item collection and capture the flag missions also exist. In some missions, players will need to fight off against other teams of fighters from other Panopticons who will compete against the player's team, and attempt to rescue civilians for their own side. Players collect resources known as abductor parts which fall from enemies, which are used for crafting or contributing to the Panopticon; those who contribute to their Panopticon are rewarded with customization options for their accessory and player appearance. At the beginning of the game, the player has no rights, and is required to 'buy' back their privileges to do certain things using points gained from contributions in the form of entitlement requests, such as lying down or walking more than five steps in their prison cell, customizing their appearance, or having access to certain weapons; violating any restrictions results in a penalty of years being added to the player's sentence."
