Instructions:
In the year 2053, a terrible war broke out over the last resources on earth. It didn't take a brain surgeon to realize that whoever won the battle would control the basic resources of the entire planet. As many feared, however, there was no clear winner, and the world as we know it ceased to exist. Green forests disappeared, large cities decayed into ruins, and what used to be a living planet became a graveyard.
But some humans survived the destruction and founded a new culture. It was a cruel and callous society - but fitting for the environment in which it was forced to exist. In order to escape their fate, if even for only a short period of time, the medieval tradition of exhibition fights, reminiscent of the gladiator combat in old Rome, began to grow in popularity.
Today, these arenas serve as a battleground for huge war robots known as mechs - controlled by daredevil pilots - to placate the masses. You are one of these daring pilots: Your battle prowess has brought you prestige and fame - and it secures your survival chances in this menacing world. Danger is everywhere: you are not alone!
