High Concept


Since the dawn of time, Abaddon and the Four Horsemen have fought their battle. The three humans who aid Abaddon, The Chosen, are unaware of their innate abilities and must be persuaded to defend the Earth. The Chosen come from all walks of life: sometimes they have fair hearts and are willing to sacrifice their life and all that they own to save the world; sometimes they are corrupt and greedy and must be shown the way. In the end, the fate of the world rests in their hands. Only if they can be found, turned, and brought together to fight alongside Abaddon will the Horsemen be defeated.


Game


The player assumes the role of the archangel Abaddon, pitted against the four giant, eternal forces of the Apocalypse: Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death. During this epic struggle, the player must find the three humans known as the Chosen. The player must protect the Chosen, strategically using and combining their powers with his, to fight the ultimate battle against the Horsemen. Hand-to-hand, sword, and projectile combat combine with fantastic abilities to create a surreal cinematic experience.
