Fight, Craft, and Level Up in Sword of the Stars: The Pit for the Mac - A Fun and Fast-Paced Indie G



Piston Hondo returns to fight Little Mac once again in Title Defense to win the champion's belt. His clothes change from red and black to full white this time, and he gains some new moves from his training. Since the last time he was fought, he has trained more vigorously, having learned how to eat without gaining weight, catching swords with his bare hands and outrunning a bullet train as well as rewarding himself with tea breaks at the back of his house overlooking a zen garden.


As Doc Louis would say, "the punch is mightier than the sword!" It just may be true, too--short of Home-run Bats or a well placed special from Roy, theres never been a KO this reliable in Smash Bros. history. Whether its too good to be true remains to be seen, but we do know that with a full Power Meter, Mac can unleash a devastating uppercut that unequivocally spells "game over."

She was a welcome presence throughout the '60s on such game shows as "To Tell the Truth," "What's My Line?," "Liar's Club," "It Takes Two," and "Password," where she met her husband, host Allen Ludden.


After joining the Society of the Holy Child of Jesus to become a nun, and later earning degrees from Villanova and Boston University, she taught at elementary schools in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts for more than a decade before being assigned to work in Nigeria. Rice spent 23 years in West Africa, where she learned about the plowshares movement, a reference to a Biblical passage ("They will beat their swords into ploughshares") about the end of war. Her activism was also heavily influenced by her uncle, who spent four months in Nagasaki, Japan, after it and Hiroshima had been leveled by atomic bombs.


At mid levels, the challenges are meeting scaling bonuses in fair fights. A character that can hit or save on a 5 is great. A +3 sword is insanely useful. Players are incentivized to boost their strengths to a hyper-consistent level and cover up their deficiencies with magic items or spells. Spells are commonly used to hit challenging skill checks, and nobody without magic items for it will ever attempt to hit someone. 2ff7e9595c
