History VideoGame / SpaceSiege

* ShownTheirWork: You can't use superheavy weapons unless you have over 50% cybernetics-legs, spine, chest, right arm.

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Dr. DeSoto decided to jump off the rails into the abyss when Jake confronts him in on Cyborg and P.I.L.O.T path.]]

* RealityEnsues: You can't use {{BFG}}'s (in this game, truly massive guns that come in minigun and railgun flavours) unless your arm, chest, spine, and legs are bionic. They're just too brobdenaggian to use without tearing your limbs off with each shot otherwise. A cybernetic arm might be able to lift a car, but unless the rest of you can as well, trying only results in you hurting yourself.

** DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Seth and P.I.L.O.T [[UnwillingRoboticization transformed]] all of the Armstrong's crew, which was emphasized through Gina Reynolds' fate and [[CreepyMonotone newly-enhanced voice]], into [[HollywoodCyborg Cyborgs]] with possibly giving the same treatment to the survivors on Tachibana.]]

A ScienceFiction spinoff of the ''VideoGame/DungeonSiege'' franchise, ''Space Siege'' is an ActionRPG set onboard a spaceship under attack by hostile aliens and cyborgs. It was released in 2008, and is now available on Steam.

* ShownTyeirWork: You can't use superheavy weapons unless you have over 50% cybernetics-legs, spine, chest, right arm.

* ApocalypseHow: Of Class X (Planetary Annihilation) with Class 1 for those on Tachibana and Armstrong.

* CommunicationsOfficer: Gina Reynolds was working at this position, which also allow her to locate the survivors after a botched defense against Kerak boarders.

* YouAreInCommandNow: [[spoiler: After the General Vargas became a [[{{Walking Tank}} giant cyborg]], Gina Reynolds is the highest ranking officer on ISCS Armstrong]].

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Cybernetics decrease your "Humanity", which has very little impact on gameplay. It's the defining factor in a sub-plot, however. The fate of the [[ZombieApocalypse other crews]] is not well though since their brain damage resulting from improper cryogenic awakening by Kerak to be easily processed into cyborg minions with no sense other than the destruction of their target. [[spoiler: Thought it was P.I.L.O.T's doing in an attempt to save the humanity by creating cybernetic soldiers with a few humans left for repopulation before deciding to process everyone]].

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Cybernetics decrease your "Humanity", which has very little impact on gameplay. It's the defining factor in a sub-plot, however.
* DisproportionateRetribution: According to the lore in-game and manual, Kerak's reason for destruction of human race was for their colonization of a planet on Alpha Centauri system that was considered by them as sacred ground and retaliated them without warning.

** BittersweetEnding : [[spoiler: Less so on 100% Human since Seth and Gina enter into romantic relationship in contrast to Cyborg ending replacing it for Seth's contemplation on his choice on sacrificing in humanity. Other than these two differences, Kerak and P.I.L.O.T's cybernetic minions are driven out of Armstrong but her crew and possibly Tachibana are few of the humans left in the universe with Keraks still on their trail to hunt humanity to extinction.]]

* DualWielding: The SMG's are used two at a time.

* KillItWithFire: the Fire Clips ability; the Fusion Pistol weapon.
* KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter: Most projectile weapons outperform the Sonic Blaster and Fusion Pistol weapons, even with the permanent incendiary effect of the latter.

* XMeetsY: ''VideoGame/SystemShock II'' by way of ''VideoGAme/DungeonSiege''.

** DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Seth and P.I.L.O.T [[UnwillingRoboticization transformed]] all of the Armstrong's crew, which was emphasized through Gina Reynolds' fate and [[CreepyMonotone newly-enhanced voice]], into {{Cyborgs}} with possibly giving the same treatment to the survivors on Tachibana.]]
