The premise is that aliens come to wipe out the earth and only you can stop them...geez, anyway. You are a soldier based on the Lunicus moonbase, earth's last defence. The game progresses through missions in which you go back to earth, clean up a specific place of alien scum in standard fps fashion, and go back to the moon.

The game includes a lot of cut-scenes and you can chat with your fellow soldiers aboard the lunicus between missions.
