Gears

In a land where bandits and pirates wrestled for control of areas with the regional protection squadron, Pax understood what it meant to live out on the frontier. Often the scum of the planet would come to loot shops and occasionally take someone for ransom but he never thought he'd witness his mom being pulled out into the center of the square and having a bullet put in her head, forcing Pax to then watch as they beat up his older brother Taz. Five years later, the very same bandits have been seen in the area again. Overjoyed, Pax leaves even after his uncle and brother tell him not to go. Discouraged from not finding them, Pax returns, only to launch as his uncle's Island falls to the ocean with both him and Taz missing. Pax must recover his remaining family before they meet the same fate as his mother did. Racing through the tangled mess of the steampunk world he was raised in Pax travels near and far from Gold Gear City to the Forbidden level.
