THE STORY
When a corrupt military experiment goes wrong, one man's rage becomes his only weapon... Forty
years into the future, the military establishment has become both legendary and feared for its
incredible might and its unstoppable capacity for war. New and strange technologies have
changed the face of the battlefield. The line between good and evil no longer exists.
You awaken in the ruins of a metropolis apartment. The room is vaguely, yet inexplicably
familiar to you. Your thoughts are murky and your memory a blank. Your body feels strange and
numb, partly encased in a mechanized shell of dark alloy. Your left arm is now a metallic
monstrosity, a deadly weapon. As you search through this strange world, you are attacked by
unknown enemies and pursued by relentless hunters and fearsome machines of war. As you
desperately fight for your survival, you seek to uncover the mystery behind the past you
cannot remember and the true origin of the destructive powers you now possess, but do not
understand.
There is only one emotion that propels you forward to discover the truth about your past and
only one emotion that will save your life... RAGE
