The game is set in the near future. A failed attempt to control Earth's nuclear energy has released an eldritch monster - the Sludge God. The beast starts terraforming the area, destroying the soil and turning people into zombies.

The last hope humanity has against the monster is the scientist who's freed it in the first place. In order to carry out his plan, he needs a group of mercenaries. They're all, unfortunately, too expensive, and so he must make do with the titular Toxic Commandos.
