Contemporary
warfare has in fact taken the form of local conflicts, more often than not civil wars, in which no great alliances of nations are involved; these have been wars fought
for reasons based in local rivalries, typically inflamed by historical animosities, ethnic disparity, or religious difference, rather than
for reasons of global Realpolitik; they have been fought not with nuclear weapons (or, indeed, other types of weapons of mass - destructive capability) or the latest in military technology, but instead with
conventional weaponry, often of old design, and often limited to rifles, knives, grenades, and light, crew - served weapons which individual soldiers can carry on their persons.
The game follows protagonist Naughty Bear in a quest
for vengeance on the bears who snubbed him, encouraging bad behavior as players engage in both
conventional and psychological
warfare with the other inhabitants of the Island of Perfection.
