An attempt to rewrite history gone terribly wrong, Lord Zetta the ruler of netherworld brought destruction upon himself. When all seemed lost, three evil overlords appear before Lord Zetta to help him recreate his world. Now Lord Zetta wages war on a new world to become the supreme ruler once again, while the three overlords entertain themselves by creating more trouble for Lord Zetta.

Players will take on the role of Lord Zetta to command an army of determined fighters to reclaim what has righteously been his, the netherworld. Gamers will battle enemies ranging from vicious demons to determined soldiers with both modern and ancient warfare. Slash your enemies with the good old broadsword or blast your way through with the deadly rocket launcher; the choices are yours.

This strategy excursion from niche producer NIS America presents the sensibilities of PC-style empire-building in a distinctly character-oriented, console-style package. Players take the role of Lord Zetta, who once ruled over all the netherworld, but has recently lost much of his power and influence. To win back control of the realm, players will manage and develop their kingdoms, constructing the structures and facilities they think will best serve their people and plans.

A wide range of buildings are available, including homes, hospitals, and factories; since the happiness and strength of the nation relies on its infrastructure, choosing the most effective and worthwhile buildings and upgrades can be crucial. When the time for warfare comes, players summon all their troop to a separate battleground area where the conflict plays out to its gruesome conclusion.

Features:
Create and rule your own kingdom
Create custom characters and units to be used in battles
Randomly generated battle maps provide all-new experiences with each new game
