Story

In a distant future in a distant place there lived a man who ran a simple delivery business. One day he decided to amass a fleet of drones to make the job easier for himself and lower his operating costs. As he amassed drones he became more isolated, never traveling far from his warehouse, anything he needed he could deliver to himself. Over time he grew to see his automatons as companions, then friends and finally equals. He'd begun manufacturing them himself, learning about robotics and even cybernetics until one day he took the plunge turning himself into a cyborg, losing sight of his initial motivations in the process and yearning only to cover the surface of the planet with as many of his friends as possible. Humans no longer mattered to him and so his drones were fitted with mechanisms to erase them from existence.

Cyborgs weren't uncommon in this time and place and as the Dronelord's horde grew a small resistance force of augmented humans grew. They were more selective than the Dronelord choosing to optimise their bodies instead of replacing the vital parts that made them human. They installed cyberchips in a special interface port they had designed and created a wireless connection to the hoverboards that were the common mode of transport. When the Dronelord began to attack humans these cyborgs known as Hypervibers entered the lands around his warehouse. Most regions had been bled dry, left barren, covered in metal plating or exposed wastes of lava where mining processes had weakened the planet's crust. Few areas had grass and even those were devoid of living beings.

Join the Hypervibers to embark on reconnaissance missions, scouting new zones in the dronelords domain. As you progress you will slowly make progress destroying key Dronelord infrastructure and creating a path to finally take down the Dronelord in the fortress that was once his warehouse.
