Storyline

The game centers around Victor, a powerful and brooding man with the ability to make entire cities disappear. You play as Seed, Victor’s former friend and comrade, who is tasked with stopping Victor from unleashing hell on the mortal world. Seed must battle through hordes of insectoid monsters and other enemies to prevent Victor’s dark plans.
