STORY:
In a city once known for peace and prosperity, chaos reigns. The once-pristine streets have fallen under the control of a powerful crime syndicate led by the ruthless Mr. X. Crime has spiraled out of control, corrupting the police force and leaving the citizens desperate for salvation. Amid the corruption, three brave former cops, Axel Stone, Blaze Fielding, and Adam Hunter, refuse to sit idly by. Unwilling to be controlled by the system, they leave the force to fight back, determined to restore peace to their beloved city.

United by their friendship and desire for justice, Axel, Blaze, and Adam take to the streets. Armed with nothing but their fists, a few weapons they find along the way, and their martial arts skills, they embark on a dangerous journey. Alongside them are bikers, thugs, and members of the syndicate who will stop at nothing to protect Mr. X's empire. Through abandoned factories, neon-lit nightclubs, and gritty city docks, the trio fights wave after wave of enemies, determined to defeat Mr. X and free the city from his tyrannical grip.
