Description
In a realm of magic, the immortal Modo has been stripped of his powers and sent to live on the Earth as a mortal in punishment for his crimes in the Afterlife. Now the furious Modo is on a quest to not only regain his lost powers, but to gain enough strength to destroy the Earth once and for all. As the story's hero, players must decide to either thwart Modo's plans for destruction and ultimately defeat this evil being or to aid him in his diabolical quest.
