Story

The game's opening cinematic shows a spaceship crashing onto a mining colony. The ship's occupant dies shortly after the crash. The space-traveler's brain is saved and it is transplanted into cyborg body. His memory is erased so that he can be put to work. The memory wipe fails and the player, as the unwilling cyborg, must escape.

Gameplay

When starting the game, players are prompted to select a hand, body, and legs for their cyborg character. Enemies are also a combination of these three types of cyborg parts, even having the secondary arm mixed. When players choose the "two players game mode," players will be prompted to the customization room, and afterwards either go to the main adventure mode or the duel mode if they previously set it in the Options menu. The first player has a combination of metallic gray and yellow, while the second player has a combination of metallic green and purple.

Enemies come in pairs, with first and second player colors respectively. Players have a wide variety of moves, which includes picking objects and enemies, grabbing the enemies arm, and if the enemy doesn't have a primary arm, then the next thing the player can grab is the body, which can then be drained to replenish energy.
