Description
Game Overview
In a future closer than you can imagine, the government system has collapsed giving way to a new regime of corporate monopoly. To own everything is to control everything. In this New World there are only two enterprises that control the balance of power. One is General Resource Ltd., a multinational company with huge capital; the military industry is its parent body. The other is Neucom Inc. which has the ultimate technology, their parent body is the information & telecommunication industry.
There is a history of tension between the two companies. General Resource has recently conducted military maneuvers, apparently aiming to contain Neucom. Neucom have retaliated against General Resource and this has triggered a small conflict between the two companies. The player’s role is to subdue the conflict as a pilot of a peace enforcement organisation under the Neo United Nations - UPEO .
Players gain fighting experience as they accomplish each mission and gradually win the confidence of their fellow pilots. As the game progresses, the player begins to doubt the UPEO policies and is encouraged by Dision, an ace pilot with General Resource, to defect….
You must make a choice – make sure it’s the right one!
