31 liberation maiden - the stages in the gallery: tokyo, kagoshima, osaka, hokkaido and mount fuji

 Dear Readers,

With all the game played out and unlocked, it's time to look at the fully unlocked gallery! This time I'm gonna look at the levels and cities. I never referred to them by their place names, even though I probably should have. Japanese geography is interesting and lots of games like this and Mystical Ninja have it.

[7] Stage 1: Tokyo - This features a big metropolitan city area on an island. This is set in the distant future where most of the famous landmarks are gone and the city just floats on top of the sea. It's not the capital anymore, since the Dominion took over I suppose. It was a fun level with islands and bridges. Of course it had the good music too!

[8] Stage 2: Kagoshima - Features a nice image of the city on an island and bridges connecting it to another island. The Dominion took over this place and its space centre in order to use it for their intercontinental ballistic missiles. I like the nice clouds painted in here. It's prettier and greener than the previous city.

[9] Stage 3: Osaka - Features another island city and it's dense with buildings and industrial structures. This has a lot of industry and entertainment, which immediately makes me think this is where a lot of gaming happens. The Dominion made this place focus on building Walkers and other machines for war. Things don't look so clear and blue here.

[10] Stage 4: Hokkaido - Features a big snowy mountainous landscape with sparse constructions and a railway connecting them. This place became a snowy wasteland due to the environmental damage that drained the Guardian energy and blotted out the sun. It's very pretty with the auroras in the sky but it is like a place that's deep in hibernation. That is, apart from all the tanks and trains and missiles I had to deal with here.

[11] Stage 5: Mount Fuji - Features the erupting mountain with the Guardian Spirit flying above it. Shoko in her mech are about to face off with it in a huge battle. Looks spectacular with the stormy skies in the background. After all that was lost to the enemy, the mountain was still here standing proud and the Guardian Spirit was drawn to it like it was some kind of beacon.
