History VideoGame / GigaWrecker

One day, a mysterious army of deadly robots called the "Ajeets" suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Where they came from is unknown, but no matter their origin, the world was quickly decimated. Anyone who managed to survive the war found themselves desperately hiding in the ruins of human civilization or taken into slavery by their new robot overlords. Three years after the takeover, Reika Rekkeiji is in the latter position, awaiting her fate in a jail cell following the deaths of her friends and family... at least until [[MysticalWhiteHair a mysterious girl]] breaks into her cell to rescue her. The jailers quickly learn of the break-in though, so this girl goes with Plan B: pull a gun on Reika and tell our heroine that she's a kind person, but must die for the sake of humanity. Before Reika can even figure out where this girl came from, much less how she knows her name and what she's even talking about, the girl manages to shoot her arm clean off before being dragged off by some Ajeet soldiers.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: To an extent. Following Mahāstra Tārā's defeat, many of the Ajeets begin co-existing peacefully with humanity. Case in point, in the credits, Astra Vinatā is seen helping out some human survivors, Dr. Kouzuki and Astra Kadrū are shown having some friendly time with each other, and Astra Rāhu, along with her companion Ketu, is shown playing with some children.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Astra Kadrū, an evil scientist who doesn't care about ethics when it comes to ForScience, and she also relishes in causing despair and misery. She's also a BadBoss who believes WeHaveReserves, not willing to upgrade Ajeet defenses because shock absorbers are expensive.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Astra Vinatā, who believes in honor and justice. And a BenevolentBoss as she's constantly bugging Astra Kadrū to improve Ajeet survivability. Needless to say, the two don't get along.

One day, a mysterious army of deadly robots called the "Ajiths" suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Where they came from is unknown, but no matter their origin, the world was quickly decimated.

''Giga Wrecker'' is a 2D physics-based puzzle/action game made by Creator/GameFreak (yes, ''[[{{Franchise/Pokemon}} that]]'' Game Freak). The game was originally released for PC on February 7th, 2017 after a stint on Steam Early Access, with an UpdatedRerelease titled ''Giga Wrecker Alt'' releasing for UsefulNotes/Playstation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch on May 2nd, 2019.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: To an extent. The credits of both versions of the game show that following Mahāstra Tārā's defeat, many of the Ajiths begin co-existing peacefully with humanity. Case in point, Astra Vinatā is seen helping out some human survivors, Dr. Kouzuki and Astra Kadrū are shown having some friendly time with each other, and Astra Rāhu, along with her companion Ketu, is shown playing with some children.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: In a sense, the credits of both versions of the game show that following their leader's defeat, many of the Ajiths begin co-existing peacefully with humanity. Case in point, Astra Vinatā is seen helping out some human survivors, Dr. Kouzuki and Astra Kadrū are shown having some friendly time with each other, and Astra Rāhu, along with her companion Ketu, is shown playing with some children.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Maybe. [[spoiler:In the original version, the BigBad Mahāstra Tāru can do nothing but scream and beg for someone to tell her where she went wrong before closing her eyes as her fortress falls apart around her and everything fades to black. Giga Wrecker Alt adds an epilogue where Dolmu finds her (or what's left of her) in the wreckage and still alive. Reminiscing on how she created Dolma to preserve her good emotions allows her to finally regain some of her humanity back. Although it's not entirely certain that she survives beyond that because at this point her entire body's been torn apart besides her upper torso and head and she's leaking fluids all over the place, but she seems to be in good spirits at least.]]

Fading in and out consciousness from blood loss, Reika gets a second visitor: the MadScientist Dr. Kouzuki, who promises to help her survive if [[ComeWithMeIfYouWantToLive she becomes his guinea pig]]. With her only other option being to bleed out on a pile of rubble, she agrees, undergoing an operation to become a {{cyborg}} with [[ExtraOreDinary ferrokinesis]] and the ability to manipulate nanomachines. With her new skills, and with the help of Dr. Kouzuki and a surprisingly amicable robot, humanity may now have what's needed to finally fight back and reclaim Earth.
