OVERVIEW
BATTLE
RAGE is a third-person shooter developed by
Destan Entertainment and produced by Teyon.
It consists elements of the beat’em up game that allows a player to
control giant robots. Battles between the robots take place on
carefully selected battlegrounds (so called “arenas”) and they are
short, quick, brutal skirmishes. The player can fight alone (versus
one, two or even three opponents) or in the team with one sidekick.
Every machine has it’s own weapons (for melee and distance combat),
additional weapon types can be collected on the arena. The player can
modify robot’s parameters in the single player mode as well as in the
multiplayer to fit it’s possibilities to his/her own fighting style.
Also many new, powerful robots will wait for the player to unlock in
the story mode.
:: The Story:
Exodus
It
all begun in 2036 with invention of The Drive. After nearly a century
the humanity turned it’s eyes at the stars again. First the Moon and
then Mars, so unwelcoming and mysterious, had to submit to mankind’s
expansion. Space became swarmed with shiny hulls of ships. Cosmos
turned into an obsession. It was an everyman’s dream to witness, at
least once, extraterrestrial wonders. Whether it was the surface of the
Silver Globe bruised with craters, or for many years intriguing, “human
face” – Cydonia. The governments were competing with propaganda,
promising the volunteers piles of gold and the glory of conquerors.
Those who believed them, mostly found tough, dangerous life and
uncertain fate. However, they wouldn’t back off.
The Colonization Era has come.
Creation
When you want to penetrate the mysteries of Cosmos you need
more then just sheer determination. Quickly it turned out how much we
are dependant on machines that we create. So we built more - each
bigger and more advanced than the previous. We designed metal giants in
our own image – Shells. We considered them the finest tools in the
history of craftsmanship.
The Golden Age of humanity was to last forever.
The Fall
Delighted with our creation, we disregarded teachings of
history. After what happened, many theories that would allow to prevent
tragic events emerged. If we were that creative before, we might have
saved thousands innocent lives. We died instead, like the passengers of
“Titanic”, driven by our vanity. Ironically, our greatest and most
promising undertaking – “New Hope” – turned into a flaming tomb for
countless.
So begun the end of Colonization Era.
Renaissance
The „New Hope” incident deprived us of delusions, we were
far from perfection. We turned our backs on our Children. Where the
luminous, glimmering cosmic cities once stood, heaps of junk laid – the
only remnants left by Shells. The fall of such a great idea affected
our whole society. Never before criminal records were that high.
Boredom and resignation overcame us. It was when the Corporation
emerged, finding a niche on the entertainment market. Who would have
thought that few, cheaply bought wrecks of Shells and the ruins of an
old factory, would start a madness not weaker than that from a couple
of years back. Several convicts were offered freedom and money if they
were to fight and win in front of the TV cameras. Quickly they have
become the true heroes of our bored society.
The Tournament has begun.
