Toy-War: The Beginning

Toy-War: The Beginning is a fantasy first-person shooter set in a deserted city where intelligent, mutated ants fight using miniature weapons and vehicles. You take part in the war that begins when sugar ants and gray ants acquire different TOY-WAR weapons.

The deserted city

TOY-WAR are functional miniature weapons and combat equipment made with nanotechnology. Wealthy people collect them, and demand outstrips production. During a storm, containers of TOY-WAR are swept from a cargo ship onto the eastern beach, territory of the brown ants, and the western beach, territory of the gray ants.

Later, a meteorite brings an extraterrestrial virus to the city. The heat-resistant virus spreads among humans, causing illness and death, but is harmless to insects and animals. It mutates ants into creatures 5–6 centimeters tall with two legs and two arms. They have no queen, but include males and females; females can lay eggs and speak like humans. The virus also leads the government to evacuate the city, leaving it without people and inhabited by animals.

The ant war

With humans gone, ants can use toys such as tanks, battleships and airplanes to fight without human interference. A sugar ant finds TOY-WAR equipment suited to its body and acquires German weapons from World War II before the gray ants find their own. The sugar ant uses these weapons to take over nests belonging to black, red, green, pink and blue ants. The gray ants later obtain a United States TOY-WAR weapon and use World War II-era equipment to wage war against the sugar ants.
