It is the Twilight of Empire … and the dawn of a new era. Escalations on new terrains have opened up the fight for liberation; a new threat against the waning death rattles of all order gains momentum. The Trump Virus infected fascist hordes have again made an electoral putsch against the equally desperate and dystopian Neoliberal police state. Both parties have already made everyone their enemies and their inevitable downfall when they gambled with our lives in their endless civil wars and colonial massacres. Unfathomable loss, accelerated apocalypse, a climate collapsed. But another end of the world was possible: a movement arises to meet the demands of the mad moment. We know only one future exists: a future without borders, without classes or nations, where the land is returned and healed by the people who love the land. CONVENTION CRASHERS There is a spectre haunting the country – the spectre of democracy! While the fascist MAGA Zombies have consolidated their party and once again rallied around a flailing, half-dead Trump, the Neolibs have exposed themselves to be genocidal imperialists at core, caving to and aligning with the fascists instead of meeting the needs of the people they seek to rule. And now they are hosting their jingoistic spectacles, a charade, a circus, a coronation for their champions in major cities they have locked down under Martial Law. They say it is the final election, the most important vote ever. But that is a threat backed by violence, a claim to eternal occupation under autocracy, a glimmer of the future they seek to impose. But the people are not only Uncommitted, they are dedicated to tearing down this facsimile of democracy, the illusion of choice. Protesters have been building momentum against the machinations of empire in the form of decentralized anarchy everywhere: disruptions, direct action, encampments, mutual aid, dual power. People are tired of the symbolic marches that give more power to the simulacrum; instead, underground networks have been activated to answer the call for increased activity! And it is finally the day of the conventions, when pig forces make their big announcement…..will it be the dissolution of the “great american experiment” in favor of a fascist future, or will the neolibs triangulate and pacify the masses in acceptance of a soft kill reform? Only one thing is certain, this shithole country is so cooked! MAD MAGA Worsening climate collapse has spurred far-right actors to call for a Convoy to Collapse, an accelerationist mass of oil-guzzling vehicular rampagers, destroying what little nature is left in pursuit of their endless super-freeway- One Last Lane, they say. And anyone who stands in their way will feel the flame. MAGA is MAD as HELL! But the people are not going to take it anymore! Land and water defenders have been making plans to wreck the onslaught of chuds and truckers, stop the desertification and regrow the forest! See you on the other side of this randomized endless highway to climate hell, comrade! ANOTHER INSURRECTION IS POSSIBLE The final election was claimed victorious by the reformist parties, but the fascists zombified mobs literally ate the brains of all the toothless liberal tendencies, who predictably ended up acquiescing to MAGA!. With Trump being declared Dictator for ALL days, declaring democracy as dead as his biggest supporters, the Left has no choice but to unite against this monster. We are all Antifa now! And it is up to us to smash this fascist coup! What happens next is anyone’s guess, but the future will be written by those willing to fight- and when we say never again, we mean right here and right now! It’s time to Storm the Capitol, this time, from the Left! SMASH TO THE FUTURE The aftermaths of the insurrections and revolutions of the 21st century left a vacuum that aspiring tech overlords exploited to exert power over all of society. The future was handed over to automation, and this sleeping giant reigned supreme for a thousand years, leaving people dormant, pacified, dependent, and confused. The numbers are rising but our humanity worsens from a joyless neo-feudal existence, so propagandized through the retro-neon hypnotic promises of a luxury gay space communism that never panned out… Basic needs are met, but genuine experiences and meaning have enshittified- people now has less autonomy and freedom than ever before, this might even be the fucking matrix… But people are ready to wipe the futurist nostalgic garbage off the face of the planet, that is, before the machine’s plans to expand their operating systems to all corners of the known universe through the spacefaring MAGA X program goes online, operated by the direct descendents of Musk and Trump’s great great great great test-tube grandchildren. The thing is, hackers have already found a vulnerability, and although Earth seems to be a lost cause in this timeline, we can prevent the fascist virus from escaping the ruin it has created before it brings the disease to other worlds! -- Defend The Forest - The newest level of Smash MAGA! “If You Build It, We Will Burn It!” Their fascist ecocidal ambitions now laid bare, establishment forces seek to build Cop City, the largest police “training center” in the country, situated on top of the largest forest within an urban area. This pig playground has plans to include weapons and explosives testing, a mock city in which to simulate battles with resistant civilians, and would train cops from departments across the nation (‘outside agitators’). Cop City is the end-game of late stage capitalism: their response to the glaring contradictions and growing unrest is to drop the veneer of democracy and double down on the repression, culminating in these militarized cop city feudal empires to maintain their racist classist status quo well into an apocalyptic climate collapsed dystopian future. This vision could not be more clearly demonstrated by the overwhelming repression of those fighting to defend the forest, including the murder of our comrade Tortuguita and the bogus arrests of over 45 protesters who are now facing draconian “domestic terror” charges. But despite mass repression, the movement continues to grow and evolve: using an ecosystem of tactics, forest defenders have made serious setbacks to the Cop City project. The future is unwritten: our collective survival will be determined by those willing to fight. Defend the Earth by any means necessary! Abolish the police and Stop Cop City! For this level, we introduce a few new elements to the classic Smash MAGA! Riot and Rally arcade action! Earth-Rippers - these clear-cutting deforesters are modeled after the land-rippers of Lutzerath. They have one goal - kill all trees! A few bricks or molotovs will take out these anti-life tech monstrosities. B3 Bombers - Thanks to bipartisan imperialism, the state is now in possession of a fleet of billion-dollar drone-operated nuclear stealth bombers, and utilizing them in targeted operations against the protesters. If you see signs of an impending drone strike, RUN! Tree-Sitters - Comrades are occupying the trees and giving themselves a vantage point in which to best resist the encroaching police menace! Hidden all over the forest, land defenders are at the forefront of struggle for climate revolution! Defend The Forest is an antifascist action-packed rally-and-riot crowd-brawling tower-defense experience that can only be matched by going out and participating in real-world struggles against environmental encroachment.

Version 1.1 release introduces new maps and full internet multiplayer and two player couch co-op support: fight fascists with your friends in cooperative, deathmatch, and capture the flag laser tag modes, and compete in online tournaments. After the failed coup, the forces of the Trump virus lingered and spread a new wave of propaganda to reanimate the zombified hordes. Grifting ignorance and hate, right-wing chaos agents mainstream the scapegoating of the vulnerable and marginalized, creating an era of stochastic terror. Vigilante assaults on public institutions erodes healthcare and education, the right to abortion was the first to go in a Christian nationalist putsch. Meanwhile, the Neoliberals wanted to normalize the crises. Content with letting the left drain their resources battling the undead fascists in the streets, the Neolibs triangulate and expand the militarization of the police with automation and hyper-technology to maintain their rule and geopolitical power. Dystopian authoritarianism accelerates climate collapse. Animal populations disappear, entire towns and lakes evaporate, perennial fires and hurricanes make survival untenable. Misanthropy spreads as conditions worsened unevenly. Billions more thrown into poverty and desperation; world leaders choose sides in future wars. An emergency election is held, and both parties lose. Without a majority or plurality, the internal contradictions prove too great for democracy to hold together the diverging realities. Ubiquitous political violence escalates to larger skirmishes, regional conflicts spread to global theaters. MAGA secedes under a familiar banner and makes the first strike… Civil War returns in the age of nuclear fascism.
