About this episode

The episode discusses the first half of Vanillaware's 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, including gameplay impressions and experiences.

I don't trust much in this post-war world, but if there's one exception, it's my Retro Encounter. On this week’s episode of Retro Encounter, we're jumping through time and getting inside our mechs in the first half of Vanillaware's 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim . We talk about our first impressions of the game, some frustrating encounters with crepes and cats, and the basic but addictive nature of Destruction Mode.
