Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- is the latest entry in the long running 2D
fighting series and features amazing 3D visuals, gorgeous animation, fast and
intense battles, excellent netplay and a fully animated story mode. After the
discovery of magic, humankind began using it to create weapons, ultimately
birthing the biological weapons called GEAR.
The GEARs eventually rebelled against their masters. Thus began the Crusades,
a 100-year war to determine the fate of the mankind. In the distant future,
humans stand victorious in a world ravaged by war, but the threat of non-humans
still looms and tensions run high. It is in this place in time that Ramlethal
Valentine declared war on the world and all its inhabitants. After confronting
Ramlethal and uncovering a sinister plot by a group called the Conclave, Sol
Badguy, Ky Kiske and the others have to deal with the fallout of this event.
What happened to their friend Elphelt? Who was truly behind it all? …and what
is the mysterious ‘That Man’ up to?
