Game Story
The story takes place around 20 years after the defeat of
Yuga(from SS64 2). Nearby Edo, there is an island, and the
capital is called Riten-Kyo. Criminals, samurai and ronins
are all gathered on the island. Gangs are fighting and trying
to gain control and power on the island. And a group called
the 'Hagyo Razor Trio'(consist of Mikoto, Touma and Oboro)
is planning a revolution against the government. A dark period
of time is about to begin.
Note: The following story lines are taken from the instruction booklet
and in-game.
Preface
In a time where peace and lawlessness co-existed, only few dared to
shift this balance. The "Maidens of Light" were guardians of the
righteous. There were those, however, who were left uncovered by this
luminescent umbrella. Lost in despair, anguish, hatred or violence, these lost
souls retreated to an isolatd island, its capital, Riten-Kyo. Slowly, darkness
coveted the land and an evil pestilence known as the "Razor Trio" took
power. Their leader, Oboro, searching for ultimated power, vanquished the
Maidens and now, mercilessly controls the island that is a haven for thugs and
unfortunates. The government has secretly dispatched one young Samurai To assess
the situation. He will soon find many truths, and discover the rage within.
Intro
Twenty years have passed since the defeat of the ultimate evil. Edo
greedily enjoys its peace. Nearby floats an eerie island. On this despised
"Thug's Lair" reside the age's most ruthless and loahsome criminals.
Those who seek world dominance run the capital, "Riten Kyo." And
herrein, a new calamity is set to threaten the era's peace.
A story about legendary swords
"Riten-Kyo", located on a lone island near the
coastline of Edo, is now a lawless zone where underground conspiracies are
forming. Seishirou Kuki, a young government warrior, quietly entered the island
to conduct an investigation. There, he finds the unforgettable enemy that killed
his father. Here, he will also find the surprise of his life.
