YMMV / CyberStorm

• Game-Breaker:
  • There is an accessory that decreases the enemy's to-hit rate against that HERC by 25%. Loading up on four of them causes all of the Cybrids to become graduates of the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy. The sequel also has this accessory, but multiples don't stack and their effectiveness is greatly reduced on large HERCs.
  • A multiplayer skirmish is capped to a certain credit value in the lobby, but your force's value in credits is the sum of (HERCs + Recycle value of assigned Bioderms). Wait, recycle value? As Bioderms participate in successful missions, their skills increase, but their recycle value decreases linearly as they near the end of their lifespan. It's a very simple matter to run skirmishes against no opponents to artificially age your Bioderms until they are both highly skilled and 1 month from the end of lifespan. At this point, you can put all those extra credits into improving your HERCs further and then save your force. It doesn't matter that all of your Bioderms die after every multiplayer skirmish because you can just reload that saved state in each new lobby. This is incredibly exploitative and would provide a massive advantage over anyone who hasn't done the same thing.
• Nightmare Fuel: Turn off voices and death animations in the options, trust us on this one. ^{For those who want to know} Whenever a HERC gets killed during a mission, you'll be treated to a dedicated CGI animation of your unit's agonized screams while their bodies start to decay until only a charred husk of a skull is left Happily removed in the second game, where the video feed to a Bioderm's face simply cuts out when the HERC is destroyed.^note Sadly the video feed does not cut if the bioderm was not killed by its HERC's destruction. Overdosing on Jackup for example in the second game still shows the death animation for bioderms, and for those who dare on watching the various death scenes for the Bioderms, click here
