About This Game

More than fifty years have passed since the world dissolved into laughter during the Second Great Parodius War. Three military organizations — the Alliance Penta, the Organization Koitsu and Aitsu, and the Alliance Araji — have maintained a fragile peace through mutual deterrence, each holding the others in check through an elaborate web of secret dealings. That equilibrium begins to unravel when a mysterious cat named John Myan Jiro starts meddling in the balance of power. With a Third Great Parodius War on the horizon, you must fight for the peace and honor of your nation — whatever that means in a world this ridiculous.
