President Michael Wilson takes to the battlefield in a combat mech after Vice-President Richard Hawk leads a rebellion. The campaign follows Wilson as he fights to take the country back.
Across missions set in American locations, pilot the mech through enemy forces, destroy structures and war machines, and take on mission objectives. The story delivers its coup plot with exaggerated patriotic speeches and comedic dialogue.
Combat centers on firing and swapping a broad selection of weapons, including two weapons at once. Research and improve weapon categories between missions to shape your arsenal for the battles ahead.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its outlandish presidential-mech premise, over-the-top humor, and cheesy dialogue as its defining charms. Some also enjoy the destructive combat and range of weapons, though others find the missions repetitive or the controls and difficulty rough around the edges. Crashes and the 30 FPS limit are recurring concerns in the reviews.
