Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction
Combining Ratchet & Clanks adventure roots with an epic storyline
and immersive gameplay, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of
Destruction draws players into a vast, new galaxy more vibrant, diverse
and interactive than ever before. With bustling cities, gigantic
enemies and giant boss battles, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of
Destruction delivers a sophisticated, yet humorous adventure for fans
of all ages.
After saving countless planets from dreadful doom and earning
intergalactic mega-celebrity status in the process, Ratchet and Clank
have taken some well-deserved R&R - again. Yet, Ratchet remains
restless. An orphan of the universe, he has never known anything of his
past, his family, or his Lombax origins. And no one, not even Clank,
can fill that void.
Unfortunately for Ratchet, someone else is equally interested in
Ratchets origins: Emperor Percival Tachyon. In his thirst for revenge,
the vile tyrant of an ancient race of foul insect-like monsters called
Cragmites has festered an age-old grudge and is bent on wiping the
last-known Lombax off the universe. As Tachyons forces ambush Ratchet
and Clank in their home galaxy, our heroes realize they need to escape
quickly to prevent its destruction. In a move of desperate irony,
Ratchet and Clank steal Tachyons imperial warship and embark upon an
adventure bigger than any theyve experienced- one that will not only
unravel the mystery of the Lombaxes, but also test the very limits of
their friendship.
