12 chapters
The campaign, in order
Chapter 2 · Plant No. 1, Clanksworth
Factory Reset
Mailed in second class. Meet the family.
Get mailed into the robot factory. Meet the family. A quality inspector who approves nothing, a fake suburb built for practice, and a mother who loves her production run more than her children.
Boss: The Motherboard
Chapter 3 · Channel C Tower, Ministry City
Dead Air
One silent man versus a 24 hour news cycle.
Pundits who are "just asking questions", a laugh track for every disaster, and news re cut live to fit the story. You never say a word. That's the whole trick.
Boss: Chuck Spin & Chuck Spin
Chapter 4 · The Great Election Carnival
Landslide
Fired from a cannon into democracy.
Rigged midway games, a parade you fight across, a roller coaster gunfight, and a senator who can't be hurt while he's talking. He is always talking. Turnout: 140%.
Boss: Senator Filibuster
Chapter 5 · Kelvingrad, Closed City No. 0
Cold War
Now with actual cold. Keep moving or become art.
It has been winter here for nine years. Stand still and you become a statue. Burning robots are campfires. The last doll is a frightened conscript, and the punch button becomes a salute.
Boss: Marshal Matryoshka
Chapter 6 · Expo '65, Neutralia
Both Sides Now
Every gun in this war comes with a receipt.
Smuggled into the world's fair as an exhibit. Both blocs have pavilions, one company builds both armies, and every robot you scrap gets invoiced to its side.
Boss: Chip Sellwell
Chapter 7 · Fort Dismay and Pleasantville
Friendly Fire
Welcome home, Corporal. You're under arrest.
Arrested at your own victory parade and court martialled by a jury of robot kangaroos. Fold the discharge into a boomerang and win your guns back one evidence bag at a time.
Boss: General Gridlock
Chapter 8 · Peeper Prefecture, on the border
Nothing to Hide
Smile. Both sides are watching.
Posted in by pneumatic tube to a town where the cameras outnumber the citizens. Being seen is the rule: punch them before they notice.
Boss: The Panopticon
Chapter 9 · The Zeppelin Summit, above the clouds
Trickle Down
The champagne is complimentary. The altitude is not.
Served in a cake to the richest party above the war. A ballroom, a casino, a charity auction where you are Lot 47 and a waterfall of gold.
Boss: Baron von Moneybags
Chapter 10 · The Lunar Embassy
One Small Step
Strapped to a rocket. Low gravity, then none.
The budget covered one seat, on the outside of the rocket. On the Moon everything falls at a third of the speed. Moon Boots, a rover detour and a zero g finale.
Boss: Admiral Apogee
Chapter 11 · The Returns Department
Please Hold
Your call is important to us. Please continue to hold.
Shipped back stamped RETURNED, you wake up as number 912,447 with a forty year wait. The hold music is the score and the phone menu is a mini boss.
Boss: The Manager
Chapter 12 · Glimmer & Sons, Ministry City
Curtain Call
Please rate your experience.
The machine that runs the war hides in a department store. Punch out of a blister pack, fight beside every robot ever returned and ride the Grand Lift past the old bosses.
The rest of the war is on its way
