It features eye popping art by Rick Grayson and an electronic talking computer in the center of the board that runs the game! The rule book is a surprising treat as the first few pages are a gorgeous full color comic that tells the story of the Omega Virus’ assault on BattleSat1. I’m a huge fan of any board game that bolsters its story with such stunning art. The year is 2051 - Aboard the defense satellite BattleSat1, senior systems scientist Robert Driscoll is replacing a console keyboard when he discovers tiny flea sized robots attacking the station’s computer system! Within minutes the station is overrun and Driscoll barely escapes with his life! BattleSat1 is now host to a class 8 extremely intelligent, self replicating, highly anthrophobic OMEGA VIRUS! Humanity has limited time to regain control of BattleSat1 before the Omega Virus has access to the satellite’s weapons system. Amidst the chaos, the world’s international alliances begin to crumble. The world’s four largest remaining powers, the North American Federation, the Euro-National Force, the Oceanic Republic, and the Asiatic Alliance each send their top commando on a daring mission to stop the Omega Virus, save the Earth, and take back control of BattleSat1!
