It tells a story set 30 years after the original game, during the Second Cold War, providing a different perspective on the well-known gacha franchise.
The story is about the deeds of Antarctic Union agent Mendo and the mysterious girl Jefutyas they fight against the forces of the Union of Rossartrism Nations Coalitions (URNC).

The game is available in English, Japanese, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and Korean. It’s also fully voiced, albeit only in Japanese.
