In a race against time, he must cross over into enemy territory to find an enormous enemy machine and destroy it that could potentially save 1,600 of his fellow comrades. This soldier is you! Get armed to the teeth and fight your way through the enemy territory packed with soldiers, tanks, balloons and Tesla towers! You’ll need help from your fellow soldiers trapped by the foe, tons of weapons and upgrades and mighty skills to survive and accomplish your mission. And your mission is to destroy the secret enemy weapon. There is almost no information about it, because these who encountered it did not survive... You start the mission alone, but you will find cages with trapped allied troops that will join your squad once you set them free. On top of that you have a mighty skill that slowly charges as you go and can eliminate all the enemies around you in a single strike! Accomplish missions to gain experience and get higher in ranks to have a bigger squad and unlock more upgrades. No one said it's going to be easy, but if you failed the mission, you can regroup and buy valuable upgrades and weapons, unlock new allied troops and skills. Key features: - 6 leader weapons - 5 skills - 6 allied soldier types - 70 (!) upgrades - checkpoints (buy a train ticket to unlock!) - a lot of missions to accomplish - tons of various enemies: troops, armored vehicles, balloons and Tesla towers - mysterious and deadly boss - you can buy and ride a tank equipped with a huge gun! Your country counts on YOU!
