Virtual-On is set up similar to a Versus fighting game. Two Virtuaroids (Mecha) face each other on a stage. The player(s) use a variety of firearms, explosives, hand-to-hand combat, and other techniques to destroy the enemy for a set number of rounds, usually a single battle, or best two out of three rounds, like fighting games.

In the Virtual-On universe, Virtuaroids became relatively easy to produce when the creation of matter through "reverse conversion", and the virtuaroids themselves, were discovered. They are produced by first constructing a working skeletal frame, then installing the "V-connector", and lastly creating their armor through reverse conversion. Later in the series, the V-converter would be responsible for the full creation of the Virtuaroid, including the skeletal frame.

Story

Earth has entered the Virtual Century (V.C.). The whole world is now being controlled by some great syndicates that operate the media industry. The Earth is in a "dark age" in both politics and culture. Humans have switched their focus to space. Compared to Earth, the colonies outside Earth are expanding at a great speed. The syndicates on Earth have bewared of this new power.

In V.C.0084, one of the syndicates on Earth, DN, has found the "ruins" of a civilization that contains technology that is far more advanced than on Earth. DN hid this technology and used it to produce weapons that are much more advanced than the other syndicates'. These human-like robots are called "Virtuaroids."

VR are difficult to control. Only people who are "Virtual On Positive" can control a VR well. In order to search for these people, DN made a video game called "Virtual On" and put it in the arcade game center to test the "Virtual On Positive" of the player. Moreover, there is a remote control system in the game machine. Of course, the players of this game do not know this.

However, the ruins on Moon has become out of control. The ultimate weapon -- Sun Cannon has been started up. DN has decided to destroy the ruins with their VR. The code name of this plan is "Operation Moongate". Players who are "VO+" are forced to join this operation through the game machine. Can you finish the "game"?
