The story is described as a simplistic backdrop for the action, focusing on humanity's need for violence in a peaceful world, leading to the creation of an "uber-mosh-pit." Despite its simplicity, players appreciate the story progression and feel empowered as they advance in the game.
“Best game by Michado I have played yet! I love this story progression, and now that I am getting fully powered, I feel like a god.”
“The story (not that it needs one) is a simple excuse for the action: the real world is peaceful but humans need violence and created the uber-mosh-pit so they can exercise their violent tendencies.”
