- Online Multiplayer

Plot
The scene unfolds in the streets and buildings of Capital City, where the Corporation (same role as the World Coalition Government in Oni) maintains a martial, propaganda-driven order. You're part of the Freedom Movement and lead a muscled fight against the Corporation to bring freedom to the people. To spice things up, there are gangs all around the city which have their own interests, contributing to the chaos you generate, but not necessarily acting in your favor.
Gameplay
- Take GTA 3. Take away the cars. Add advanced hand-to-hand combat and environment interaction. Crowd the streets with hundreds of panicking people. Shake well.
- Or, take Oni. Replace the sissy TCTF troops with an almighty Syndicate. Make the environment much more complex and colorful and interactive. Crowd the streets with hundreds of panicking people. Shake well.
Characters
You can choose from 5 very diferent protagonists to take on your missions. One of them (Libra) looks and fights very much like Oni's Mai/Konoko.
