The briefing

About this game

In the 22nd century, humanity’s artificial creations known as gears turned against their makers. After Justice led a rebellion and was eventually killed by the Sacred Order of Holy Knights, a powerful new gear is discovered roaming freely without a master.

Fearing that this gear could become another Justice, the Order announces a tournament with a prize of five hundred thousand world dollars. Players can choose from 16 characters and compete using an expanded 2D fighting system.

Combat

  • Special attacks are powered by the Tension Gauge, which builds through attacking or advancing toward an opponent.
  • A range of defensive moves adds depth to battles.
  • Instant-kill attacks return from the previous game.
