Game description: In the future, on the planet Allium, the situation has become desperate. This world has suffered from global warming, causing the polar ice caps to melt. The rising sea has resulted in the amount habitable land to decrease dramatically. All that is left are island chains, making land the most valuable resource on the planet. The entire population must survive and compete over these islands.
Currently, there are two distinct civilizations on Allium, settled into an uneasy cease-fire. There are the scientifically advanced Forseti and the aggressive Muspell. The Forseti have recently developed the most advanced combat vehicle in existence, the Battle Engine Aquila. The Aquila is both a four-legged mechanized tank and a combat jet, it is capable of switching modes at will. Players take the role of Hawk Winter, a Forseti cargo loader operator who has been conscripted because of his piloting skills.
Battle Engine Aquila is a mechanized shooter taking place in a larger battlefield. The player plays only a single, yet important, role in a larger war effort. A large part of the gameplay consists of supporting and being supported by the allied forces. Players will have to fight navel, air, and ground forces in both modes of their battle engine.

Comments: Had to enable MTVU to get the game to run at decent FPS, also, skipping the cinematics and bumbling through the broken unusable menu got us into the game, which finally allowed us to play. The game functions, while the menu does not, and the game freezes mid menu if you spend too much time in it. Software mode, as well as other GSdx hacks did nothing to fix the menu rendering issue, nor did it speed up the game at all. Menu loads only one letter of each option, so N for New Game, L for Loading, C for Continue, etc. Select each letter, as well as the ship you'd like to use as quickly as possible, as you have only a few seconds in the menu before it locks up entirely and freezes. The game functions no differently in software mode as it does in DX9 or DX11 hardware. The compatibility is entirely unfixable using only GSdx settings. Hack comments: Speedhack: MicroVU MTVU Enabled (MultiThread)

Comments: Tuned for High Performance gaming, all my system settings are isolated and changed per game. Everything is run in VM outside of the main OS. Game only works when highly tweaked, and locks up in main menu after several seconds. Main menu is completely unusable, but the rest of the game functions as soon as you get out of the menu system. Make sure Multi-Thread is on before playing, especially if you have more than 3 cores. The game will only function at about 30FPS if this setting is not on.
