The way it works is that you can have the main character, one mechanic, one soldier, and one dog in the party. No doubling up on mechanics/soldiers, as far as I know. But, we will be able to swap out our mechanic/soldier later. Anyone not in the party doesn't get any XP though, if I remember correctly.

Speaking of the party, I don't think that it's been mentioned that the tracks that show up on the loading screen change according to our party makeup. A set of tank tracks for each person in a tank, a set of footprints for anyone on foot, and a set of pawprints if we have a dog :3:

Knowing nothing about this game beyond what I've seen so far, I feel that a great failing of this game is not having the chance to get both the cowgirl and the swordsman in the party at the same time. You have to choose between two different versions of cool.

I want to know what sort of disaster lead to an apocalypse in which gun turrets sprout human legs and dogs sporting cannons. I may need to fire this game up again and get past the beginning.

Only the best apocalypse there ever could be!

The cause of the apocalypse is actually explained in the game manual's intro. In the game itself, you get bits and pieces from NPCs and events, but it's not really spelled out for the player until the 'endgame'. I'll leave it to Mors to dole out that information as the LP progresses.

Charlene reminds me of when I just got into anime, and there was this one show that had some mercenary who only used swords in a Japan that was turned into kind of the wild west (though of course anime wild west), and he was a really bad mercenary because swords can't beat guns. But then he runs into this one blonde cowgirl with a big pair of guns (in both senses) that somehow turns things around and saves Anime Wild West Japan from the evil gunmen.

Now that I think about it, in many places in Japanese media where there's a cowgirl she has blonde hair. And big guns. Though I do remember exceptions.


e: I did remember that the name had something to do with explosives

There are actually weapons and armor specifically made for combat dogs, even though there are only four of them in the world?

Yes. And they're sold in shops.

In fairness, we've seen a good number of combat dogs trying to murder us, so I think the four we found are just special, awesome dogs rather than the only dogs.
