 | In the 24th century, Earth is blanketed by thick clouds of darkness -      |
 | the result of a cataclysmic collision with a wave of asteroids in 2054.    |
 | After years of wandering, the few human survivors began to rebuild         |
 | civilization by erecting fortified cities underneath mystical shafts of    |
 | sunlight piercing through the clouds.                                      | 
 | Arkhan,  young member of the elite Guardians of Fire in the city of Sparta |
 | learns of a treacherous plot to plunge the city into everlasting           |
 | darkness. The game begins as Arkhan races against time to save himself     |
 | and Sparta from the forces of evil.                                        |
