1. THE STORY

The story takes place in 2507. Humanity is at the peak of perfection in technology. War was over, and peace ruled Earth. That was all about to change. The evil Dr. Newton doesnt think robots should be used as servants. He creates a robot army to wage war with the humans. The robots first appeared in England. In a matter of days, the army is nearly destroyed and England is under the control of the machines. Leaders from around the world get together, and decide to wage war with the machines.

The war wages for 5 years. Eventually the machines have destroyed most of Earth forces. When all seemed lost, a discovery was made that could turn the tides of war. It seemed that the robots needed solar energy to run. In a desperate attempt they scorch the sky. Casting the world into almost Eternal Darkness. Dr.Newtons army was now imobilized. He was no quiter though...

For the next 5 years, he creates an A.I (artifical inteligence) called the Master Computer, to control his robotic army. No longer are the robots vulnerable to the dark. Meanwhile, humanity is busy building there citys again. They were not expecting the machines to attack again. What they didnt know was that the robot armys were coming for them again and there army's hadnt been rebuilt.

The humans are overwhelmed at the power of the robots army. Within a matter of a year, the population of the Earth drops dangerously low. Once the human armys were gone, robots started to build new civilization. The Master Computer gives every robot artifical inteligance so they can have a life as good as the humans. It also makes three other Master Computers to help maintain the robots.

Unknown to the robots is that the humans last chace for victory was training deep in the Earths crust to stop the robots. There names are Jon, Kate, Zayn, Johnny, and Sara. They all have strength and speed far beyond that of a normal human. They also have specialy designed combat suits that are the most advance thing the humans could build. It was called S.D.C.A.B.S armor. S.D.C.A.B.S stands for Special Deadly Combat And Battle Suit. This technology ascends even that of the robots.

These 5 individuals are humanities best hope for final victory in this war. There mission is to destroy the 4 Master Computers. This is no simple task of course. So Jon's suit has been modifed to hold an A.I. named Franqui. Jon is good at all out combat, street fighting, and is fast. Kate is good at sniping, has good skills at karate, and has perfect accuracy. Zayn is good at martial arts and close call combat. he is the fastest. Johnny is the only one who knows how to sneak around people and stuff, he has no combat experience but is good at long range battle. Sara is Slowest but most toughest. She is best used when the odds are stacked against her. The mission starts here, these 5 people will save the Earth from extinction.

2. Gameplay. 

The gameplay is like most other RPG games out there. You choose which one of the 5 warriors you want to be. Depending on the character you choose, Your path will change as well. The terrain in the game differs from place to place. Some places may be filled with plantlife that the robots have grown, another could be a advance robot civilization. All the terrains are interactive and destructible. when you find weapons you keep them till the end of he levels, though each person can carry a maximum of 4 weapons. So you will need to split it with the five people. Each person of the group does extremely well with the weapons that they are good with such as kate does well with the sniper because she has great abilities with sniping. there are 40 chapters to complete in the game, meaning 10 for each boss.   

3. Enemies.

There are many types of enemies in the game as well. The first is a normal robot. They carry power pistols and travel in groups of 2.They are the most weakest. The next are cyborgs. They are dangerous. They carry power swords that can cut through almost any metal know to man and robot alike. they have bad defense but perfect offense. Next are Juggernauts. They are very dangerous. They carry chainguns and rockets. They are twice as tough as cyborgs but twice as slow. Then there are Elites. They have the best defense of any other robot in the game. The elites though trade accuracy for speed. Last but not least are the Flying Cyborgs. They are very hard to hit and are armed with missiles, that can penetrate all armor or shielding. Flying cyborgs also have perfect accuracy, but not good defense. 

4. Bosses

The bosses in the game are the 4 Master Computers. They all have great powers along with their own special abilities. They can all call on robots to aid in there battles and can send shock waves through the ground. The first one you fight can control metal and use it to attack you. The second one can shoot flames at you. The third one can fire ice. The fourth one (boss of the game) has the abilities of all of them and has gun turrets all around it. They all have weaknesses of coruse. They are all very vulnerable to rocket launchers, only rocket launchers are hard to find.
