Robotic armies − controlled by a ruthless AI Core from a volcanic lair − have spread across the planet.
Everyone has been forced into subterranean shelters.
We hide from roving tanks that hunt us down.

Pilot your Cobra through ranks of enemy forces on a procedurally-generated map.
Your mission… take out enemy shield generators, hack buildings and eliminate the AI Core in a deadly volcanic lair.
Probes dropped onto the campaign map reveal the environment, mission type and content − use these to plan your route.
Every campaign unfolds differently and your tactical approach is vital. Here’s some intel:
CAMPAIGN LENGTH: SHORT / MEDIUM / LONG.
DIFFICULTY: EASY / NORMAL / HARD. This determines:
Data is used to buy extra lives, weapons, modulators (equipment to upgrade your tanks) and probes.
Collect Data in combat by damaging and destroying enemy vehicles – or from research facilities.
Consider your strategy when choosing what to buy; it could impact your campaign.
Roll into battle with up to three comrades at your side in the explosive multiplayer campaign mode.
Swap tactics, banter and – of course – blame through the PlayStation®VR built-in mics and take on the enemy as a dynamic duo, a terrible trio or an awesome foursome.
You can pick up from existing solo campaigns, or start new multiplayer campaigns and discover special combos of playstyles, loadouts and equipment.
You will encounter events that ask you to make informed (or lucky) choices on what to do next.
When you’re in a multiplayer team, only one player at a time will get to make these choices.
Central Command only issues Cobra Tanks to the very best pilots.

Every action and move you make is closely observed by the AI Core.
Watch the enemy power bar above the campaign map – it will increase as you progress.
When it reaches certain limits, your enemy units will evolve and become even more dangerous.
And when the power bar is completely full, the Nemesis will be deployed…
Deployed by the enemy at key moments, these beasts will move to intercept you… and will not easily back down.
If you can, try to predict their movements. You might just be able to plot a route around them
Each weapon has multiple upgrade levels – experiment to find your perfect combo. Here are a few to discover and unlock:
Increase your tactical prowess by utilising some very special equipment, like:
Special equipment needs time to recharge after use.
