PREMISE:          For the first time, humanity is doomed to be snuffed out
                  by the forces of the Dark Legion.  Algernoth and his
                  forces emerge from their portals and establish citadels
                  across the solar system.  The megacorporations, desperate
                  to retain power, have unleashed the Doom Troopers to
                  cleanse the solar system of the Dark Legion.  Their
                  mission is to [eventually] force Algenoth back through
                  his portal, trapping him in the Dark Symmetry. (premise
                  as stated in game)

IMPRESSIONS:      This is the kind of game that sets the Christian
                  Coalition back on their haunches and starts them
                  screaming about mock violence and the need for better
                  ratings systems.  It is a dark, gloomy, and violent
                  platform shooter - exploding heads, vomiting monsters,
                  disembowled cyborgs, and so on.  It really didn't need
                  all that, because otherwise it's an excellent shooter
                  in the same vein as Contra 4 or Gunstar Heroes.
