Man, i dont understand this new ending.
I mean, I didn't undertand it before, but this is worse.
So you're a clone-girl brewed in a tube and released upon the lab durin a crisis. Your handler (Dr Hiroto) sends you to defeat the humans in the lab using monster-summons. Ok, some sort of clone/experiment uprising against the human guards? Gotya.
Except the 'human guards' turn out to be also clones who were abused by the scientists. You still kill/rape them en-masse anyway though and the doctor who released you doesn't seem at all bothered by it.
Looks like they were making 'strains' of clones for specific jobs. two soldiers one explosive-user, one samurai-type, an engineer in the bathhouse, ect.
Doc Hiro seems motivated by revenge against some 'him' that she won't name.
As you get further down you find three girls in cages. (also clones, apparently, just an older breed) but you can't talk to or interact with them, so fuck it.
Get down into the vault and find a bunch of other clones like you and a woman. Notebook says that your breed of clones were made to comfort her as she died, or something?
Except instead of doing that, your only option to progress is to murder her.
Ok so you do it and you get the standard ending.
Now in the New level you instead summon copies of the clones you've been fighting, and use them to kill monsters and save the clone-girls. The oposite of what you were doing so far. (why the change of heart?)
Eventually you stumble onto the scientists who caused all this, except they're identical too so probably
also clones.
You and the (two?) doctors (along with a bunch of mooks) step into an elevator and decend into a cage, which seems likea bad idea.
It's then proven to be a bad idea when three of the scientist-clones start dropping monsters on you. you hold out until they run out of monsters and then a bunch of zombies kill the three scientists. Somehow that's a mission complete?
Oh, then your player character collapses from the same red-mist illness that you see a bunch of her clone-sisters suffering from. She's placed in a tube so she won't die, but Doc Hiro (who freed you, gave you your mission AND helped in the last boss-fight) then swears to kill you. (I think it's you? You
are playing as the titular EX-ILL, right?) then the camera pans accross the room to show dozens of your clones in tubes, presumably suffering the same illness that you had.
Oh, and in the extra-room menu the doctor-girl's tool-tip mentions them both to be clones, so I don't think we met a single person in the entire game who
wasn't a product of this laboratory.
Maybe the pink-haired science girl who got raped in a storeroom? (no wait, you see her doppelganger on F4)
The only people who don't have doppelganger seems to be the Dr-sisters (who are noted to be clones in their tooltip) and the chick getting fucked up against the window.
So... what was up with that last floor? why did we change sides? Why did the doctors go to fight the red slime in the pit when there was clearly no reason for it? (they didn't even fight the scientists, they just walked into an ambush and got rescused by random zombies)
What was up with the main girl collapsing at the end of the fight? Why are there dozens of her clones in tubes? Why does Dr Hiroko want to kill her? (if not her, then who the fuck is Ex-Ill?)
Oh, and what the fuck was up with the giant slime-girl bossfight? Did that have any effect on anything? I killed them all but nothing unlocked, no key, no abilities, not even a new scene.
also the final boss fight is harder than all the fight you ever fought, it feels like L4D but in platformer. it almost impossible to not at least get one hit from enemy... but seriously that ending tho...
Personally, I found that boss super easy.
Remember to turn off most of your cheats, because they don't work for shit here. (immortal march makes the
enemies invincible. The energy-bullet can only hurt
allies, ect.) then just spam shotgun girl. She one-hits all enemies in a huge cone.
Just remember that only killing the red things actually makes the enemy life go down.
