World:
Player steps into the boots of a Planetary Guard’s space tank pilot with the massive task of defending his home regions from an assault of enemy aliens. Planetary Guard is the neglected part of the Galactic army consisting only of conscripts and volunteers. They are left to defended strategically less important backwater colonies of the galaxy and they have to do it with outdated machinery and equipment.
The plot is mostly in the background and it's not a large element of the game. However the world around is something we have put a lot of thought in, especially the title faction in which ranks the player joins in the game. Planetary Guards look and feel comes from the style of mid-20th century war machinery. Kinda if they would have went to space back then with what they had then. Also everything looks a bit silly, short and condensed to keep the game from looking too serious. Most effects use hand painted sprite sheet animations and have a cartoony look to them.
