The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. Said apocalypse caused by a bunch of meteorites hiting the earth, conveniently hitting major cities first ([[Armageddon|sounds familiar ?]]) and causing a huge cloud of dust and ashes to clog the sky, preventing the sunlight from ever reaching the ground. Save for a couple of sacred spots, called stalites, where the last survivors of the human race, the walkers, built huge cities in the glory of the Sun God. |

The player takes the role of Arkhan, a guardian of fire, who gets infected with a dark disease after preventing the assassination of the great priestess Lori. The disease most obvious effect is to turn Arkhan into an ugly as sin monster. It's then up to him to uncover to truth behind the priestess assassination despite having a face that now looks like it fell from the ugly tree and hit every branches on the way down. |

* [[Badass]]: Even before being infected with the dark disease, Arkham was more than a decent fighter. The curse made him even stronger and granted him the ability to kill almost any foe in one blow (however, this mighty blow worsen the progression of the disease quite a bit). |
