A century from now
Advanced technology has enabled humanity to recover from nuclear winter, and military power has shifted. A device called a Gauntlet allows the wearer to personally take on flying and heavy firepower missions; soldiers who use it are called Gauntlet Knights.
Young soldier
Devices require talent and early training, and very few are truly capable. Boys and girls from various countries meet through international exchanges and competitions, agreeing to jointly maintain peace; Yet the political situation gradually pushed them toward World War IV. The agreements between friends thus conflict with the orders of the soldiers.
Camp structure
AOU is centered on the United States and Russia, while COU is centered on China and India; The work also depicts religious states and the united royal power of Africa. LATO, which controls rare spiritual resources, holds a special position in energy and international institutions. These are all alternate political settings in the work.
Warcat and capability assessment
The AOU's 0017th Airborne Infantry Squadron is named Warcat. Profile profiles use P3 values to show differences in members' abilities and training, and the military treats highly capable individuals as research subjects, highlighting the connection between individual talent and national interests.
Phase 1 format
The Steam product is positioned as the first phase of the series' new releases, supporting both Japanese and English text, featuring high-definition graphics, more animated performances, and new music. Some of the music creators of "Sea Cat" collaborated with new participants to provide the music.
