Fracture is an action title that takes place in the second half of the 22nd century, when the territory of the USA is divided into two parts by a lot of water. While the eastern part, known due to its connection with Europe as the Atlantic Alliance, relies mainly on robotics and cybernetics, the western part, called due to its connection with Asia as the Republic of Pacifica, on the contrary, trusts in genetic engineering. A civil war breaks out, in which the player takes on the role of Mason Briggs, a demolition expert who fights for the Atlantic Alliance. While Mason and his comrades will rely mainly on cybernetic toys, the representatives of the Republic of Pacifica will have a number of genetic implants and will have a set of temporary improvements at their disposal that can boost the desired abilities. As a result, two completely different warring and at the same time balanced sides will face each other.
