The year is 2171 A.D. — the world has changed, technology is constantly advancing and countries have combined into two rival super nations — U.S.N. and O.C.U. Even with all this optimism, there remains one constant — humanity's appetite for war. The global superpowers are constructing massive orbital elevators to establish a web of surveillance satellites to watch over their enemies. When an unknown force destroys one of the U.S.N.'s elevators, troops are mobilized to eliminate the threat. Meanwhile, a young engineer, Dylan Ramsey, soon finds himself caught in a whirlwind of conspiracies, destruction and crumbling alliances. Take up arms when you climb into the armored humanoid battle vehicles, codenamed "Wanzers," and prepare to fight to preserve humanity.Front Mission Evolved places you in the role of Dylan Ramsey, a young engineer, who finds himself corralled into the dramatic web of crumbling geopolitical alliances, destruction and conspiracies.
