Mysterious T.O.K.Y.O.

Welcome to Nitro City, Tokyo Special Administrative Region! The metropolis of Tokyo is a bit different from what we know, but the streets are just as nostalgic, or, depending on where you're from, they're just as good as the place you've always wanted to visit.

Companions / Atypical Vehicles

Autonomous drones, affectionately called "Companions", have been integrated into daily life, but in cop terms, they're referred to as "Atypical Vehicles".

When they pose a significant threat to society, it's time for the Atypical Vehicle Disposal Squad (AVDS)—a special unit of the Nitro City police force—to commence their mission to destroy all rogue vehicles!

Shoot 'Em Up!

Good news: you can bring as much ammo as you want... and that includes grenades!

After just a little bit of cooldown, the lightning bolt of destruction will return to your hands. Ah, how wonderful! Just like magic!

Gadgets and Gizmos

Tired of traditional grenades? Why not try out the EMP, damage-dealing radio-controlled drones, auto-firing turrets, flamethrowers, anti-tank missiles, and more? There's sure to be at least one out of the 12 different cool gadgets that'll catch your eye.

Understand Your Guns

By assuming a more stable shooting position, your bullets will hit targets more accurately and deal more damage.

You can shoot some guns like SMGs while walking without caring about that, since they're for close-range anyway, but the bigger the gun, the more it's affected by your positioning. Stand still and aim carefully to use them properly.

Large Armored Targets

Oh no! We're under attack by tanks and helicopters! Whatever can we do~?!

Rifles and SMGs don't do much to armored targets. You could totally stick with them and show them your perseverance, but you could hit them harder where it hurts with more powerful firearms and gadgets.

Radio Comms

Story dialogue in stages are all contained in the police radio comms, which can be accessed at anytime and are completely optional. Which means you can ignore them completely if you want.

Great for multiple playthroughs, or for people who think the story sections of video games are basically the same as the instruction manual of an electric toothbrush.

And more...

There's more fun where that came from!

For centuries, the Church has ruled humanity in the name of defense from the thousand-eyed snake living within the bowels of the world. As its Immortal Hunters held the line against the nightmarish Khemrids, servants of the snake god, humanity was rallied in service of the Holy War. All the Cardinals asked for in return was obedience.

As the War raged, heretics and blasphemers were sent to the dungeons, ancient scriptures at odds with Church dogma were burnt to cinders, while the most faithful were also burned. As they were martyred by the Church, their bodies fueled the Holy Fire, the only thing the Khemrids feared, apart from the Church's holy warriors.

All they managed was delaying the inevitable. As the Khemrids launch their final invasion, the Apocalypse unfolds. Among the ruins of the capital city, you take control of one of four surviving Hunters, using their unique abilities to fight your way across the burning urban landscape, experiencing a story full of unpredictable turns of events that may yet see the world saved!

As the Church and the Khemrid invasion collide, the Hunters are stuck in between with unlikely heroes, brazen heretics, lying Cardinals, and everyone else stuck in the city. As it burns, experience the End Times from four different perspectives. The clash of the titans sets in motion a hundred other battles: Ambition and lust for power tear the Church apart, a brave heretic stands up to the corruption, and the truth struggles to be heard after centuries of oppression.

Ultimately, it will be you, as one of the Immortal Hunters, who will define the fate of the world. Battle the Khemrid hordes, make difficult choices, unearth long forgotten lore, discover ancient secrets suppressed by the Cardinals, and maybe you'll have a chance of averting the Apocalypse. Are you up to the challenge?
