It’s sometime in the late 35th century. Mankind has reached a level of technology that is almost unreal. The first Cyborgs were created in the early 21st century. By 2178, the Constitution was amended and laws were created to help protect the artificial and synthetic lifeforms that then inhabited Earth. However, the level of technology increased, so did the tension between the humans and the machines. Even though, the machines and Cyborgs were the creations of mortal men, in most cases these beings were far superior to their human counterparts.
Most people were still mostly human, with perhaps a simple memory augmentation or physical enhancement such as artificial eyes. But in most cases the average person simply couldn’t afford to be cybernetically enhanced. This was another factor that was slowly eroding the peace between humans and the machines. Finally after nearly 1000 years in the late 30th century in a small outpost it all began. A small extremist left wing radical group of “pure” humans using military weapons simply went out into the streets and started mowing down anything with cybernetic enhancement. It was a real blood bath. Then the MILP (Military Police) hit the scene.
The police and the small faction battled it out for about 6 hours. Finally, the MILP sent in a small neutron implosion device and killed the humans instantly. Needless to say there was a moment of silence and the people of the large city fixated upon their video monitors realized that the machines that they had once enslaved had really enslaved them. Within moments all over the map similar incidents started occurring and the war ensued.
The battle raged on for many years. But, even with their superior intellect, speed, and strength the machines couldn’t beat the humans. The humans won in the end. Maybe it was their passion, maybe it was their heart, maybe it was a single warrior named REX BLADE but the Cyborgs and total synthetics were all finally stopped. And mankind had taken back the planet on which it had slowly lost it’s grip.
The High Council decided that a mass extermination of over 500,000,000 lifeforms was ethically barbaric since we had been the ones that had given them life. It was thus decided that the machines would be sent to another world far from Earth. Using a new and experimental Transdimensional Teleportation technology that allowed not only the Time-Space continuum to be bent, but the Hyperdimensional Fabric itself to be warped, the machines were at once teleported nearly 2 galaxies away to a Binary star system with a number of M- Class worlds that could sustain the organics of the Cyborgs.
After the “Exodus,” the population of Earth changed and became united for the first time in history. War, poverty and most problems were eradicated. The Earth Federation was one of the most powerful in the galaxy, but was powerful not because of its military, but because of its wisdom. It was truly a good time for humanity.
Today at exactly 1400 hours in the year 3597 a Transdimensional Pulse was detected. The EM spectrum analysis confirmed that the signature is identical to the original prototype of 500 years ago. The only possible explanation is that the Cyborgs have constructed a TD teleporter and are probing to find Earth. We must assume that they are preparing for a military advance against their home world. However, due to downsizing, our military is 1/10 of what it was 500 years ago. Even though our technology is considerably superior to the days of the “War,” we haven’t used the technology to create weapons. The High Council feels that we are in danger and must take action.
REX BLADE was the most violent creature of war ever created by man. He fought for the humans, but was feared by all. Designed in old Silicon City as an experimental prototype, he was never meant to see action. Instead, he was to be used to test out new theories and the results were to be used to improve the other Cyborg designs. In any case, when the “Great War” broke out it was REX BLADE that literally decimated the Cyborgs. And now he is going to do it again.

Another thing that really makes Rex Blade (Shareware Beta) enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Rex Blade (Shareware Beta). Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
