In the near future, there’s a warfare where one type of unit inspires such fear that even allies keep a safe distance: the Ogre. AI-powered, cybernetic tanks, that are so powerful they are the equivalent of a battalion of tanks and infantry.

Hovercrafts, tanks, marines, infantry, and the Ogres themselves, all take part in an endless world war. As the player, you’ll take command and compete for dominance on the irradiated battlefields of the future.
