About the Game

The main character Travis Touchdown wins a Beam Katana (reminiscent of a Star Wars lightsaber) through an online auction and decides to become a professional killer. He has a streak of otaku, not only though his looks but also through his love for J-Pop music, toy robots, wrestling and videogames. After defeating the assassin Helter Skelter in a battle, he is approached by the French woman Silvia Christel who offers him a job at the UAA, the governing body of assassins.

During the journey, Travis is assisted by Doctor Naomi, a weapons maker, and Thunder Ryu who owns a gym where Travis can boast his statistics based on speed, combos and health.
