This is a dark city. The city of lost machines. There was a time when millions of people lived here. Nobody knows how it happened, but all humans are gone now, leaving the city for the hordes of advanced machinery. Drones are roaming the empty streets trying to find their purpose now, when their creators are gone. Some turned violent. Some turned crazy and paranoid. But some are just lost and looking for a new purpose. You can give them one - fight until others are gone!

You are the Chosen One! The One that will lead lost drones to their awaiting destiny. But you are not the only one - there are other factions trying to do the same. The war is coming!


Trick: you can change the team you play. Turn on the Demo Mode (F1/O). Now you can jump into any drone by Tab/Backspace. Select a drone from a different team and then press any control key to get out of Demo Mode - you are playing for another team now!
