In an attempt to further extend their dominance of the video game market outside of Japan and the RPG world, Square Enix has made a takeover bid on the publishing company Tecmo. Tecmo has been known for some great games world wide, specifically their action titles such as Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive. These titles have helped Tecmo gain a major foothold in the U.S. market and that’s exactly why Square Enix has shown so much interest in them.

So in this world, it’s only natural that the destiny of man is tied directly to that moon.
In an attempt to take more from the moon then they have already so graciously received, a group of men known as the Order of Chains and lead by an individual known only as the Dreadknight have actually chained the moon to the Earth and have rained down fear and terror across the world.
