Story overview

Main article: Story

It's 2020, and a colossal asteroid crashes down to Earth.

The North Korean government quickly seals off the site. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of delta force operators. Amid rising tensions between the US and North Koreans, the asteroid suddenly bursts open, revealing a massive, 2km high alien ship. The ship freezes a vast portion of the island and drastically alters the global weather system.

The invasion of Earth has begun.
