Sergio tweaks d20 Modern to make it a more useable system, utilizing stages in order to allow a campaign to grow organically. In Emergence, players are challenged by the most basic problems, putting even the most learned Zombie movie player to the task of merely surviving. In Ascendance, players become more proactive in the world, eventually becoming world-movers, shakers, and/or destroyers in the Apocalypse stage.
While the art gives it a vibrant and vivid feel, the game can either go in the comic, tactical, or dark direction. The game's genius is in the system's flexibility, but maintaining a core of rules that keeps the mechanics streamlined and balanced.
