In Assault Gunners HD Edition, it’s the year 208X and Mars is in the process of terraformation with an expected timeline of 300 years till completion. Back on Earth, a great war erupts and millions of migrants flee to Mars through the Planet Remodelling Project, which is accelerated with the aid of ANTS, a completely robotic automated system. The migrants build large dome-shaped colonies with now stable climates and rush to construct cities within them to sustain the flow of refugees. Time passes and the World Federation has set up military colonies on Deimos and Phobos, and the dwarf-planet Ceres is moved to Mars’ orbit to help create an ocean for the planet. One day, communication is suddenly lost with the surface of Mars and a Peace Keeping Force called DAT whom are currently training on Deimos are sent to investigate.

Originally released exclusively in Japan for the PlayStation Vita in 2012, Assault Gunners HD Edition puts you in control of the Peace Keeping Force known as DAT and along with your three allied Battle Mechs, you must attempt to save Earth’s migrants and the Mars colonies from the threat of the ANTS uprising. Who could be behind this threat against Mars, the new planned perfect utopia for humanity?
