Description

EXOTIC RUINS, LEGENDARY RELICS, AND SUPER-SOLDIER ACTION COMBINE IN THE CLASSIC MANGA THAT INSPIRED A FILM AND AN ANIMATED SERIES! In the distant past, ancient civilizations possessed technology far beyond modern understanding, and their tremendous power led to catastrophe. Now, governments, militaries, and international megacorporations will stop at nothing to seize their relics and use them for their own gain! Ominae Yu is a Spriggan, a top-level special operative for the ARCAM corporation, tasked with preventing the past's most dangerous treasures from falling into the wrong hands. Equipped with cutting-edge power armor and a teenager's boundless confidence, Yu journeys to Baghdad, where an accursed mirror of the legendary Tower of Babel slumbers beneath the sands. The first tower reached for the heavens...but this one points straight down to hell!
