![]() ![]() Alongside the setting of Neomuna, the concept of an action flick in a sci-fi setting pays off well. In the mission Downfall, the Guardian has to make a grand escape from the Typhon Imperator with tanks raining shells down on you and enemies nipping at your heels. The cutscenes are slick with bombastic explosions and high tension. Our confusion about plot macguffins aside, Bungie nails the theme of an 80s action hero film. ![]() That content should form part of the expansion’s narrative rather than it being needlessly stretched out over 12 months. Bungie has now said that The Veil will be explained in this year’s seasons which we feel is a mistake. It doesn’t help that Osiris and the Cloud Striders talk about the thing as if we should know what it is. The Guardian is tasked with protecting the aforementioned Veil, but we never learn what it is, why it exists, why the Witness wants it or why this is the first we’re hearing of it This makes protecting the Veil seem less important than it is because, well, we don’t know what it is so why do we care. Nimbus is one of Neomuna’s Cloud Striders. An odd narrative choice having the folks from the planet simultaneously oblivious to this matter and then not much later experts in how to harness its power. This new sub-class element is everywhere on Neomuna but apparently only Lightbearers can see it. We are also quickly introduced to Strand. The Guardian teams up with the only two Cloud Striders we meet, Rohan and Nimbus. The city is protected by Cloud Striders, humans that appear to be augmented with nano technology. This city was formed by humans that fled Earth during the Collapse and it’s been hidden, somehow, until now. Like Hive Guardians, these enemies add a bit more depth to combat and require some skill to overcome.Īfter crashing a Cabal ship, Osiris and the Guardian escape to Neptune’s surface only to discover a thriving city. These creatures resemble Rhulk in many ways and can supress players preventing them from using abilities. The Guardian mows through Cabal and encounters a new enemy type in Tormentors. Osiris and the Guardian catch a lift aboard a Shadow Legion ship and arrive in Neptune’s orbit. The Witness, through a vision, catches a glimpse of something we come to know as The Veil on Neptune and entrusts the newly born Calus, Disciple of the Witness, with retrieving it.
