The Game
As Trey Kincaid, you must fight your way through sewers, factories, and rooftops in your journey to defeat the Reverend. To defeat this barbarian, you must defeat his Four Horsemen: Death, Plague, War, and the Beast. The key to successfully completing each level is simple—kill everyone and everything that's out to get you.
You must protect yourself from the Reverend's minions. He will send all of them after you. Don't feel bad, you're doing them a favor. They live in hate and misery.
Weapons and power-ups can be found throughout each of the levels. You'll need these in order to successfully navigate through all of the levels and defeat the bosses. Health power-ups can make the difference between success and failure when the Reverend's forces attack en masse. Certain weapons are more effective against certain enemies, so be sure to pick them all up and try them out.
Good luck... You'll need it. Don't forget—shoot first, ask questions later.
