And your sales pitch ....
The date is sometime around 2020ish. Earth is in dire straits at the moment. The news is filled with constant reports of battles between super powered villains and heroes.
It all started with the return of magic around 15 years ago, soon after a few people started showing mutant powers. The real downward spiral started when one day, a freak accident in a Sony lab resulted in some nanites giving one of the scientists the ability to fly. Soon after, custom nanites were built and minor celebrities started showing enhanced physical traits. Greed soon exploded and nanites were for sale on shady websites, some worked as advertised, others far from it.
Add in alien invaders, demonic portals randomly opening and any other type of cataclysmic event you can think of, and here we are. Corporate sponsored heroes (and villains) now seem to be the norm, and whoever can cause the most carnage seems to get richer from people just watching it all go downhill on the internet.
This mod contains mostly characters you've never heard of, but thanks to IP licensing, Sony and Microsoft have custom made a few that you have heard of. 642 characters, 13 locations, including exotic locations including...
Atlantis, yes it exists!
Cincinatti, nearly destroyed by an alien Marmoset invasion, now almost rebuilt to it's former, uh, glory?
Sydney Australia, with Ancient Rome embedded into it! Traveling back in time is a bad idea, especially when a crazed Roman emperor catches you and starts using your time travel equipment despite warnings of universal annihilation.
Reykjavík, swapped from a steampunkish dimension by the same cosmic rift that blasted Rome forward about 2000 years.
Memphis (Egypt, not Tennessee), the new home of demonic portals.
And Tokyo, with bigger threats than Godzilla to worry about now!
3 or 4 missions in, you'll absolutely be asking yourself What Were You Thinking when you downloaded this nonsense!
