The Guilty Gear series takes place around the year 2180, in a chaotic, mystical future world. In 2010, mankind discovered an unlimited energy source of incredible power, which was fittingly labeled as Magic. Even with the various energy problems solved, wars still continued. With the power of Magic and science, living weapons known as "Gears" were created. These Gears eventually turned on their masters, beginning a century-long global war known as the Crusades where the Sacred Order of Holy Knights (Seikishidan being the Japanese name), fighting for the human race, was able to defeat Justice, the leader of the Gears. Justice having been locked away in a dimensional prison, all other Gears seemingly ceased to function, bringing an end to the Crusades.

In this latest edition of the game we find the addition of two characters "Holy Order" Sol, and ABA. Many tweaks, moves, and other bits have been added and/or changed to make this the most balanced and challenging Guilty Gear to hit consoles yet.

Take command of over 20 bizarre characters with devastating moves and combos. With a fighting system that can be as simple, or technical as the user wants the game never gets old.
