In the year 22XX, HOPE IS DEAD. A vile conglomerate of oligarchs lord over the fractured territories of the Americas from a floating fortress-city known as KAPITAL. This de facto cartel-state maintains control over the populace with brutal cyborg thugs known as KAPITAL OPERATIVES (KOPs). In Story Mode the game’s narrative unfolds as you traverse through hand-crafted levels packed with platforming action. You’ll battle bosses, make friends and enemies, and discover the grim truths of the 23rd century.(Storyline via IGDB)
