Neocron Company Line

You won't be meeting any quaint little dwarfs, elves, or unicorns in Neocron. You won't be forced to watch your character battle helplessly without taking action yourself. You will be spared aimless wandering and searching for parts of a quest. No one will say "Won't you step this way, m'lady," - it'll be more like "Open the stinkin' door, pea brain!"

Neocron is different. It's more honest, more tough, and more straightforward. If you like first person shooters, you're going to love Neocron, because it provides a whole range of varied weaponry and direct battles. While there's a ceasefire in the city, you can set out to the vast wastelands to hunt monsters and mutants. You can participate in deathmatches in special arenas within the game without damaging the game characters and their skills or values. Clan friends will also be thrilled: You can establish a clan in your team's own apartment and communicate with its members via board and messaging systems, or trade materials, weapons and real estate to become a commercial tycoon.

Story

In the 21st century, a disaster of apocalyptic proportions destroys human civilization. Only a handful of people manage to escape it. On a giant spaceship, they flee to a distant planet that promises to be paradise. But the poor, the forgotten, and those without scruples are left behind. Coldnss and poverty reign on Earth for 700 years before humankind finally succeeds in creating a new civilization. Time has left its mark on the human race, and the circumstances of life have brought out certain skills: the ability to adapt, incredible physical strength and even supernatural powers. Thus equipped, rivaling factions of survivors are now fighting over power and resources. The few towns that exist are polluted by crime, corruption and mistrust.

Form alliances with other players, plot and scheme, snoop and spy, and fight for power. Train your skills to gain wealth and influence, or choose to live the life of a recluse in the vast and adventurous wastelands in the middle of nowhere.

Within the city, you travel by subway. In the rambling wastelands, you are able to use various kinds of transport. Wield your self-made weapons in a first person perspective against monsters, mutants, and your fellow players. Battle in specially constructed arenas without suffering damage to your skills and values. Experience a world that is constantly changing and expanding. Whatever you may choose to do: Prepare to enter a whole new life in a world that is both ancient and completely new - in Neocron!
