The game begins with a short background. Major cities of the United States have been attacked by nuclear weapons. Armies of terrorists flock the shores and have taken over most of the country. The player assumes the role of a United States Army National Guard soldier. He is called into the local military base, only to find it overrun by terrorists. From there, the mission is to defeat the terrorist invasion.
Reception
Patriots: A Nation Under Fire was released to overwhelmingly negative reviews. It has been criticized for its poor quality, especially when it comes to graphical fidelity and gameplay. The game has been criticized for its extreme difficulty, even while playing on the easiest difficulty setting. Due to bugs and glitches, it is impossible to complete mission three. Also, the files that contain the fourth mission were missing from the release of the game and are only available through an unofficial patch.
