In the middle of the 28th century massive warfare and reckless pollution have
brought the life on earth to the brink of extinction. The planet does not
offer its last inhabitants more than toxic and radiated wastelands and
anything which has not died already turned into an abnormal and horrifying
mutation. The remains of humanity have sealed themselves into last bastions of
life and technology. Neocron – a city surrounded by massive walls and
regulated by the strict laws of the CityAdmin and their Copbots – tries to
stay alive in this dying world. Meanwhile, an old enemy rises again: The
almost anarchistic Dome of York, Neocron’s opponent in the Ceres wars, shows
up again. Is a new war inevitable?

Neocron 2 features a large persistent world and massive multiplayer gaming.
Divided into two factions, Neocron and Dome of York, and separated by the vast
radiated wastelands between the cities, the players try to build a career in
one of the many industrial and military organizations. There are various
player classes offered, including different types of fighters, PSI powered
monks and hackers. The game allows free exploring of the world, NPC missions
or engaging in PvP-combat, using an Egoshooter-like interface for gameplay and
fighting.

Noteworthy features, amongst others, are the Hacknet (a network similar to the
matrix of the pen&paper-game Shadowrun) which allows skilled hackers to travel
the whole game-world through a great number of network nodes or attack enemy
bases and the usability of driving and flying vehicles in the wastelands.
