The Story

In a near galaxy, lived a human race. They lived happily until the landscapes and resources became a problem. The planets became over populated. War broke out. People were fighting for survival. So, troopers were born. These troopers know only about war, and how to kill. The planets were divided into 2 groups of troopers, which made war against each other. Troopers against troopers. On each of these small planets the war would continue until only one team is left and the other team buried.
It is your mission to lead the troopers into battle and defeat the enemy on every planet. Use your resources wisely. Hunt the enemy down. Become a Super Trooper.
