The Apophis asteroid, named after the Egyptian god to the ability to destroy or transliterated as "the uncreator", while hasn't entirely destroyed humanity in the dark future, has left it in ruins.
The remaining shingles of the remaining society look upon the remains of Apophis to create new opportunities, such as mining it's rich extraterrestrial ores. Though, like any new potential power source, in the shadows someone is finding ways to turn such a harmless source into something horribly destructive. As the ignorant onlookers and petty miners go about their business, the corporations are behind-the-scenes twisting and corrupting the power source into new weapons, weapons created using the uncreator, as thus the destruction of Apophis continues to work its wonders.
Right before humanity can enjoy a new Golden Age after being ravaged by the apocalypse, soon the united governments who are pulling the strings and paying these corporations under the table create a program called "The Apophis Program", an ideology of creating giant robots or "Mecha" using the mass energy cells that are native to the remains of Apophis.
These mechanized grim reapers were meant to keep their corporations and the continuous mining of otherworldly ore in check, but of course someone, something was going to fall in between the cracks.
After years of dramatic political rifts, the corporations are no longer playing the puppets, and soon the Apophis Program is divided between two factions, the united world government and their former business minions, with giant mechs powered by the uncreator that in battle just do that, for humanity is destroying itself.
Sooner or Later, so much blood has been shed...That the call for more raw pilots comes, and of course with it more bloodshed, but of course...You, there is something about...You....
Though you are a pilot, your charismatic abilities and the sheer respect that you are capable of creating for you and the future of mankind...There might be hope for humanity yet...as long as you're around.
EAST MEETS WEST: Apophis is a true-to-form mixture of Anime-inspired design, but the ability to make choices that ultimately affect your character, the war, and ultimately the future of the human race.
You are the Future: Even though the faction you sign up for at first seems absolute, your choices, whether good, evil, or neutral will ultimately decide who you are with at the end, which enemies and allies you made, and ultimately if you bring unity and peace back together, either that or be ruler of the world, it's all up to you.
A Western J-RPG: Even though the game revels in eastern mecha, anime style characters, and the like, if you're expecting turn-based combat or some goofy clothed soldier smacking weird looking monsters with some sword looking thing, you're thinking of the wrong game. Combat is brisk, frantic, and no-holds-barred giant robot shooter-fest...If your mech explodes, no hot anime chick is gonna revive you, so keep your head in the game! Not to say there isn't hot anime chicks though...
Mass Armored Effect Core: Level up your character, Level up your Mecha, there's no real limit on what you can level up, so let the awesome upgrades continue to let you kick enemy butt!
More To Come: The possibilities are endless...my friend.
