Amok is set in a future in which giant corporations have been at war for nearly 50 years, but an unsteady peace is formed. Unsteady enough to be destroyed by a mercenary company aided by a capable pilot in a battle walker. That peace-wrecker is you. The object of the game is basically to blow up things like military bases, power generators, etc. Powerups are scattered throughout the levels and your Starbird has 2 unlimited-firing laser guns in case you run out of missiles and other weapons.
