Heavy Metal Geomatrix is set at the end of the 23rd century where Neo-Cyberspace is the final step to a New World order. It swallows people's desires, and grows each second. The evolution of the "NANOBOT" technology (microscopic robots that can recreate human cell composition anywhere online) has now completely merged fantasy and reality into "one world." What was once the human race, have now completely abandoned the real world, spending all their time addicted to the luxury of the virtual world.

Oblivious to reality, the humans never saw the ensuing disaster. With nearly every underground resource of mother earth stolen, there is nothing left to hold and support the massive weight of the world's ice covered caps. The day was inevitable; the glaciers finally succumbed and slipped into the ocean, submerging a high proportion of the world's landmass. What little "turf" was left was quickly claimed by the strongest thugs, gangs, warriors and governments.

The real war has now only just begun. As if torn from the pages of history, the prize was and still is 'landmass' But this time the battleground is NeoCyberspace, the prize the preservation of the human race. The only hope that remains for the survivors is to use their NANOBOTS to recreate their best Nano-Gladiators and arm them with every Nanotech-weapon imaginable for the final showdown against evil. To win, you must fight, to live you must win.
