Daemon X Machina Story
Earth experienced a disaster in which half of the moon came down on the planet. With the pieces of the moon came the foreign substance called Femto. Then the world’s AIs, exposed to Femto, turned on humanity. These machines became known as the enemy group Arms of Immortal. Humanity now faces the threat of extinction with the player fighting as an Outer, a group of humans who gained special abilities through Femto exposure. Powerful individuals in society hire them as mercenaries to gain control over Femto energy. Though, they became outcasts of human society for the price they paid for that power, their humanity.
The player must maneuver through the air to dodge enemy attacks and counterattack.
