This is Solitude City in 2085 AD, it is the year of the Vactic uprising. We must build a mech to fight the robotic Vactics and liberate the city. But the teckno-paradise city itself also stands in your way. It is constantly changing the layout of its districts and streets. Not only must we fight the Vactics on every street and city block, we must also reunite as a city and bring our former lone heroes back. Only together can we win this war and bring back to life the thing that it took away, our unity.(Storyline via IGDB)
