In a world threatened by evil M.E.G.A. Corp.’s private robot army, the last bastion of hope for mankind is a bunch of armed lunatics who signed up for a mercenary job. Who's better to lead them than a disposable clone with an unpredictable set of special traits? Welcome to your new assignment, Commander. Take the battle to the enemy and build your underfunded, over-ambitious outfit into an apocalyptic war machine that rids the world of evil billionaire overlords. With all chances stacked against your rebellious operation, this isn’t about glory. This is about the loot!(Storyline via IGDB)
