Transcend through time,
race through history.
Edo, Sengoku, Heian ——
A fierce journey begins, charging through the ages to confront the calamity known as “The Crucible.”
EDO
Edo Castle was the administrative center of the shogunate established by Tokugawa Ieyasu, who ended the era of civil wars, and its magnificent presence demonstrated the shogun's authority throughout the Japan. However, Edo was suddenly overtaken by hell, hoards of yokai descended upon humans, and the era of peace was shattered.
SENGOKU
Totomi Province (present-day western Shizuoka Prefecture) was a contested territory between the Tokugawa and Takeda clans.
Accompanied by supernatural beings known as “Yokai,” the Takeda army's fierce assault forced the Tokugawa clan to retreat.
Above Hamamatsu Castle, the Tokugawa stronghold, a colossal yokai that summoned the Crucible itself was seated.
HEIAN
The ancient capital of Kyoto was sealed in ice and snow by the fierce cold generated from the bitter crucible that engulfed the Imperial Palace.
Despite being protected by multiple layers of barriers, yokai roamed freely throughout the road, prompting the Kamakura warriors led by Minamoto Yoritomo to battle these yokai in order to maintain Kyoto's order.
BAKUMATSU
A future era is twisted beyond recognition after Kunimatsu, who fell into darkness, proclaims himself the eternal shogun.
As Edo and nearly all of Japan are swallowed by the Crucible, Kyoto, protected by the sacred Spirit Trees, stands as the final stronghold, where loyalists continue their desperate resistance.
A land of carnage ruled by fearsome foes
The Crucible
In order to purify it, the crucible spike, which is the source of its energy, must be destroyed.
