Massive tanks the size of a small shopping mall make for an unusual vista as dozens of blue shirtless guys storm a desert with huge quartz crystals jutting out of the surface. Even the main villain is called 'Traitor General.' The set-up parallels World War II and even some elements of the American Civil War, but other than that the plot line is fairly stock, and is only elevated thanks to the imaginative setting and weird visuals. These two forces clash on a battlefield known as 'Nu-Earth,' which is such a hilariously cheesy name that it actually works. The Norts are obviously an evil empire that sounds vaguely like Germans or Russians.

A cloned army of genetically enhanced super soldiers, known as the Southers, are born to fight and keep back-ups of their consciousness in a microchip just so they can get a chance to continue fighting after death. The very nature of the story from the comics is fertile ground that makes a lot of sense for a videogame. One thing that Rogue Trooper Redux gets right is how faithful it is to the source material.
