Kid Icarus: Uprising

I hate clubs, too slow. Claws are fast and let you have tons of speed while attacking, dodging and running.
Bows & Blades are alright, but not as good as Claws for me.
 
Oh gosh, how will lefties play this game?
 
^Have you tried it?

This part is pretty disappointing. It feels like a handicap.

Just beat Chapter 13 as well.

Arlon is one of my favorites bosses so far, along with Hewdraw and Thanatos.

Also, I hate the Apple Cobbler things and the Skullcobbler. Terrible and cruel enemies.
No kidding. The Eggplant Wizard and Reaper's got NOTHING on those two!

I also just beat chapter 15... Oh boy...

I hate how Pit somehow assumes that Hades and Viridi are working together at first. Hasn't it been made clear that Viridi HATES Hades as much as she hates humans? Seriously, is he THAT stupid? It's getting really annoying that he assumes they're both evil JUST because they want to kill humans. Nevermind their motivation or personality, if they kill humans, they're evil, even though humans have been shown to be not really worth giving a crap about in this series, since their so keen on killing each other...

So... aliens? Well, there was space pirates and a space kraken, so it's not that surprising at this point.

Still, it's interesting that Hades is suddenly working with Viridi, Pit, and Palutena, because even though there's lots of destruction, non of it benefits him. It's so odd, but then again, they're not exactly getting along, which I think is a good thing.

Pyrrhon's pretty cool... er, hot! He's like the Human Touch, right down to his cocky attitude. Plus it's cool to see a God actually get down and dirty, fighting right in the middle of the brawl... Aside from Thanatos, who's basically made out to be a goofy wimp. :(

I guess it would make sense that the God of the Sun would know who the creatures from space are. The "Aurum", huh? Nice name, I suppose...

"The Book of Divine Prophecy"? Sounds like an important macguffin, but the way it's being used seems more like a handwave of sorts... More of a joke then anything else.

DAMN, Pyrrhon's a psycho! I love this guy!

The flying stage was short this chapter... Also, this is the first time where Palutena has a point and Viridi's actually in the wrong. Yeah, Pit started fighting the Underworld at first, but really, the forces of Nature were being FAR more destructive then anything Pit and Palutena ever done! That, and the Underworld is 10 times worse then the both of them.

The land stage looks pretty neat... Also, the way the describe the Aurum reminds me of the Aparoids from Star Fox: Assault, basically they're of one mind any they're mostly destructive creatures that only act to preserve their own species, which is basically leaching off of other planets and lifeforms. ...MAN, this game is choke full of cliches and stories that have been done before, except here it's done all at once, AND has it's own unique characters to hang lampshades on them!

What's weird is that even though Palutena admitted at the beginning of this chapter that she didn't know who or what the invaders were, she knew about the Zaurums were and what their attacks could do... How'd she know that?

I actually feel sorry for Hades, his Underworld army is so pathetic... And what's this? FURTHER hints at Pit's devotion to Palutena? Perhaps I was onto something after all. ;)

That being said, it IS kind of sad how he's only willing to do it for her and no one else... Makes me wonder just what kind of person would Pit be if he DIDN'T serve Palutena... Maybe like Dark Pit? ???

Also, Palutena totally trolled Pit there. Seriously, he takes all this abuse from Palutena, all for the sake of her own entertainment. The other Gods are laughing at his misfortune as well! Seriously, he HAS to be in love with her, there's no other reason I can see for why he'd put up with this on a daily basis. It's almost like a more comedic, light-hearted version of Samus's relationship with Adam Malkovich, but I don't think I want to go there just yet...

Oh, BTW, the music, AWESOME as always! DEFINITELY have to get the soundtrack one of these days.

So the boss fight is just destorying the core? BOR-ING! Well, at least a conversation with the Gods keeps things entertaining... As we once again get another hint that Pit has a "thing" for Palutena, saying he does all these dangerous things for her, and Palutena is, indeed, grateful, despise messing with him from time to time... And what's she saying the other to don't know about "devotion"? Did they not see Arlon? Did they not see how loyal and devoted HE was to HIS Goddess? Or maybe she's referring to how little Viridi cares about her servants? Really, she seems kind of thoughtless, but again, she's not outright EVIL like Hades!

Anyway, short boss fight... This chapter feels like a big "WTF" and seems to drive the story to a halt... YET AGAIN! I mean, first we were fighting Medusa. Then we started fighting Hades. THEN we started fighting Viridi's forces. And NOW we've got this boring ol' aliens to fight! Oh well, at least Pyrrhon seems like an awesome, and heroic, dude... And it looks like we're not done with the aliens yet... but still, this story keeps adding new twists and turns to the already messed up plot! Where does it end?!

...NEXT CHAPTER AHOY!

It's true that Viridi isn't evil, but she did drop a nuke on the humans for no reason. They were tricked into fighting by Hades. Humans and all living creatures, both in this game and the real world, are driven by greed. But that isn't always a bad thing. Magnus for example, is in it for the money, but he's not a bad person. Like Pit says, what Viridi says has some truth to it, but wiping out humanity isn't the answer. She just nukes the humans instead of going directly after the root of the problem, Hades.

Pyrrhon was awesome. He really hams it, which is saying a lot, since every other character except Arlon (ironically, Pyrrhon and Arlon are both voiced by Troy Baker) does too.

The Aurrum chapters are among my favorites, because all three factions (Pit and Palutena, the Underworld Army, and the Forces of Nature) put aside their differences to eliminate a common enemy.

I suppose you have a point, but then again, she IS a Goddess, and a young-looking Goddess at that. The Gods in this game all seem to act like real Roman/Greek Gods, i.e., not really giving a damn about lesser being and messing with each other for their own amusement. I see Viridi as just being too young a Goddess to fully realize the consequences of her actions. Either way, while she IS that destructive, I can't really hate her in the same way I'm expected to side with Palutena, in that there's so much ambiguity to their characters and they're not simply good or evil.
