Type:	Platform
Language:	English
Premise:	For the first time, humanity is doomed to be snuffed out by the forces of the Dark Legion. Algernoth and his forces emerge from their portals and establish citadels across the solar system. The megacorporations, desperate to retain power, have unleashed the Doom Troopers to cleanse the solar system of the Dark Legion. Their mission is to [eventually] force Algenoth back through his portal, trapping him in the Dark Symmetry. (premise as stated in game)
Impressions:	This is the kind of game that sets the Christian Coalition back on their haunches and starts them screaming about mock violence and the need for better ratings systems. It is a dark, gloomy, and violent platform shooter - exploding heads, vomiting monsters, disembowled cyborgs, and so on. It really didn't need all that, because otherwise it's an excellent shooter in the same vein as Contra 4 or Gunstar Heroes.
Variations:
Recommended Emu:	Genecyst X
