* NintendoHard: Oh yes. The enemies are relentless and their AI is quite smart, perfectly leading their shots in a stark aversion of HeroTrackingFailure. Other mercenaries that turn up to fight you consistently dodge your shots and don't even pretend you might hit them without a {{hitscan}} weapon at your disposal. This is compounded in the N64 version, which only lets you save every few levels. Expect to either restart or die a lot, even on the easiest difficulty.

In the distant future, a subatomic experiment causes an uncontrollable fusion reaction, leaving the surface of Earth destroyed. A year later, Earth has now been classified as condemned by the government, which leaves Earth open for salvaging, leading mercenaries to battle each other, as well as robot sentinels left by the government for what ever may remain on the husk of a planet...

* NintendoHard: Oh yes. The enemies are relentless and their AI is ridiculously smart. Expect to die a lot, even on the ''easiest difficulty''.

!!Tropes:

* VerbedTitle: As the title is a past tense verb.

* SexSells: The marketing campaign largely consisted of naked pictures of model Donna DeCianni with the game's logo tattooed on her body. Boxed copies even included a calendar consisting of these photos. This backfired, though less from controversy and more from confusion over the genre of the game, and became the first of several marketing blunders Acclaim would be known for.
