Weapons of War had a grimdark like tone, and Weapons of War: Siege emulates that again. The gameplay may be of a MOBA, but the biggest inspiration gameplay wise was Risk of Rain 2. It picks up from the demise of the Godson, and has The Conqueror come into full force

Gameplay

It's Gameplay is inspired by MOBAs and Risk of Rain 2. Everyone still uses guns, and has an ammo meter. This ammo meter determines how much spare shots you have left. When the ammo meter runs out, you need to get to an ammo crate. The biggest difference is in camera. As where Weapons of War was in First Person, Weapons of War: Siege uses bird's eye view camera, meaning you get extra information about your environment

There are still no supermoves, this is a game about using your toolkit to the best of your ability. The availability of cover on maps varies, with some maps having a lot of cover with others having almost none at all. Accuracy is not as important, as you simply spray in the direction. The difference is in, what enemies are a priority, some will have more health and be more dangerous than others.

Your teammates are still important, elemental synergies can still happen if you and your team mate attack the same target, which can cause a myriad of status effects. but be warned, some elements do not mix.

There is a vertical plane, allowing for enemies and players to access the vast space above you.

Many soldiers have abilities that can function like traps. Ideal placement of these traps can be key to winning the game in a sense. Using the varied ability kit of the Soldiers to mold your environment either breaks or makes your game rounds.

Now, we go to Hightide's Faction: Federation Usurpers, they're trying to install a person with a friendly ideology in charge of the federation through violence. And they end up going to Xele, a Federation stronghold, to infiltrate it. They intercept a distress communication talking about The Conqeuror's attack, and decide to destroy it, fighting The Federation as The Conqueror's forces bombard the planet

The Federation Usurpers than intercept a distress call from Hightide's home planet, Auqarina. They all go to Auqarina and see The Conqueror and The Federation duking it out. Hightide becomes distraught, all the years of warfare breaks him as he tears through both The Conqueror's and The Federation's forces. Hightide realizes he can't save everyone.

Meanwhile, The Federation Loyalists under Imperius are told to save a town of innocents from attack due to the incoming Conqueror attack. Imperius then saw that civilians weren't a statistic as he saw them get slaughtered for the millionth time. He worked with his team to protect as many as he could. His loyalty to the federation burning brighter than ever.

Imperius then spent time with the Federation's High Chancellor, who said that he cares about everyone in the federation, but that sometimes, a thousand need to die to save a million. The Federation Loyalists then go back to Pordotia, to protect a mining operation on the moon, which is now in the atmosphere. The Conqueror unleashes one of his lieutenants, Skylan, to dispatch them. He fails and the mining operation is sucessful.

The chancellor reveals that they need the rocks in the moon to build a superweapon and that Imperius has just saved a ton of lives.

Meanwhile, Hightide and The Federation Usurpers are stuck in a grueling battle, that only lowers their spirits, as they're pressed against an impossible advance of The Conqueror's forces. Hightide continues to delve into cynical ness as he pushes forward, not caring if he could die, killing all his foes are the only way to protect the innocent.

Hightide's gradual insanity continues as he decides to raid a Federation mining ship that came fresh from Pordotia, he successfully destroys it, robbing the federation of defenses. The people who follow him begin to question his declining mental state.

Then, Hightide intercepts a communication from The Conqueror, that they will launch a surprise attack on the capital of the federation on Gharbis. They sneak into the capital city before The Conqueror can get there. When The Conqueror gets there, The Chancellor decides that if the weapon isn't ready, he'll launch every missle on the arsenal, as he's about to give the command, Hightide is there, waiting, he vents all his rage into a single blaster shot, killing The Chancellor.

Hightide and The Federation Usurpers reveal themselves, this is the first time the Usurpers and The Loyalists have seen each other in years. Hightide and Imperius face off as the city is being actively destroyed. The player plays as Imperius, defeats Hightide, and leaves him for dead.

Parasitic Dawn

Our Host was still active when Ghabris fell, he was on Kailia, a planet that has immense bio energy. While he doesn't have any beef with The Federation, they were blocking the well of energy he needed. The ATP Well, the parasite of Our Host guides him to the ATP Well as he begins to drain it, getting a boost of energy. However, as he does this, Federation Force XC enters. Federation Force XC is led by Hivemind, a parasitic soldier like him, but she is a passive parasite, while Our Host is aggressive. Our Host and Hivemind duel at the ATP Well, causing much energy discharge. Kaila becomes a graveyard of dead plants and animals, all looking to kill Our Host and Hivemind.

Hivemind and Our Host need to work together to survive, and root out the problem. A crater is located as the source of the mass wilt. However, massive organisms called Defenders block their paths and must be destroyed. By working together Our Host and Hivemind make their way to the crater.

Inside they find Autoimmune, who was set up as the ward of the dying planet. Hivemind and Our Host free her, and then escape off Kailia, as it continues to decay into the carcass of the world it once was. Autoimmune suggests they go find Artery and Phlegm, on the planet Daiscos. Daiscos is a world of a red ocean and green skies. When they land, they quickly find Phlegm and Artery at the base of Leech Mountain, the mountain where the species of Our Host, both soldier and parasite, were born.

Our Host begins to climb Leech Mountain, fighting off anything that grew here. When he reaches the top, he has to fight The LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) of everything on the planet, who is immortal due to mass energy discharge. Our Host slays The LUCA on his own, and absorbs all the energy. After this, a strange orb appears before him and tells him he is the new Elemental Totem of the Parasitism element.

The Bandit

After Ghabris fell to The Conqueror, Typhon was still on the planet, as well as a bunch of Federation Soldiers, and Typhon is looking for the rest of Federation Usurpers. Typhon first has to make his way to a detention station to free most of the Usurpers. Concealing himself, he breaks in and frees, Torch, Marrow, Higgs, Silhouette and Pendulum

The remnants of The Federation Usurpers hear their coup was a complete failure and has lead to The Federation killing dissidents while The Conqueror picks off planets, so Typhon decides that they need to find Hightide to continue going. And on the way, they find Tectonic, Alaska and Aerodrag and they continue going through the remnants of Ghabris.

So they finally find Hightide on Ghabris hiding in the ruins of a destroyed factory, and his suit is completely destroyed and he's injured, and he's fighting off an army of The Federation's Elite Soldiers, but then Typhon finds him and kills the soldiers. But on the way to the camp to heal Hightide, The Conqueror shows up and offers Hightide a bunch of power and status to work with him and says they can destroy The Federation together. And Hightide, says yes and becomes evil and turns on his former team mates

Typhon now needs to get off world with a spaceship, so The Federation Usurpers follow him into an old spaceport and Aerodrag needs to be defended as he gets the spaceship up and running again. So after that, Typhon and the rest of the Usurpers fly away back to the Federation to tell them the news.

Meanwhile, Hightide gets a new set of armor and goes to his home planet to make it a part of the Conqueror's empire.
