Description from the packaging.

Heavy Metal has never been so deadly!

The year is 2257.

You and the straggling remnants of the United Earth's forces are dug in, fighting to hold what's left of the planet against the onslaught of the brutal military factionist, Zorgeuf, and his terrorist band.

Zorgeuf has commandeered a revolutionary new power source to serve as his ultimate weapon. A force so strong, it has torn the Earth to bits, leaving only a ragged string of islands from which to combat the hailstorm of destruction raining down from Zorgeuf's satellites.

It's up to you to protect the citizens of United Earth, and to rebuild the infrastructure Zorgeuf has reduced to rubble. Your resources are limited, and time is short. Your only hope of stopping the military madman rests in tons of towering alloy- mechanized warriors even Zorgeuf's forces can't stop. Plan carefully, execute perfectly, and in the end...

Bring in the Metal Marines!
