Set in a dystopian future, humans are at odds with humanoids. A complex combo system and counter attacks are present, along with an array of unusual characters.
The story begins with humanity exploring the galaxy, colonizing planets, and encountering alien species. However, not all races are peaceful, leading to tensions that eventually boil over into conflict. In 2348, a scientist named Dr. Edward Bilstein discovers the key to harnessing human potential through plasma power. He creates a powerful weapon but faces backlash for using human subjects in his experiments. Exiled and banned from further work, Bilstein becomes obsessed with revenge against those responsible. Years later, he launches a surprise attack on Earth, prompting the government to assemble a team of skilled warriors to defend their planet.
The gameplay features four distinct modes:
Arcade Mode: Players take on computer-controlled opponents in a one-player experience that can be joined by a second player at any time.
Vs. Mode: A two-player contest where players choose characters and engage in combat, with adjustable skill levels to level the playing field.
Group Battle Mode: Team up with friends or face off against CPU opponents in matches of one round or multiple rounds.
Training Mode: Focus on honing your skills with practice and repetition.
Game settings allow players to customize their experience, including adjusting the difficulty level of CPU opponents, determining damage output, setting time limits for each match, and configuring keypad buttons. In Vs. Mode, a shortcut option enables players to skip some setup screens.
The game boasts eight unique characters:
Hayato: A skilled bounty hunter from Japan
June Lin Milliam: An English gymnast driven by hatred for Dr. Bilstein
Saturn: An alien street performer with a passion for theatre
Gamof: A lumberjack-turned-bounty hunter from Andromeda
Gerelt: A Spanish matador recruited by the Fourth Empire
Vector: A prototype robot assassin member of the Fourth Empire
Rimgal: A hybrid human-Tyrannosaurus fighter
Zelkin: A Klondike warrior king with a debt of honor to Bilstein
Characters can unleash devastating Plasma Combos by chaining basic attacks together. Three types of combos exist, each tied to specific characters and button inputs.
