About This Game

In a crumbling New York ravaged by societal collapse, twin brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee operate a modest martial arts academy where they pass on their mastery of Sou-Setsu-Ken to devoted students. Their lives take a dark turn when Billy's girlfriend Marian is abducted by the ruthless Black Warriors, a vicious street gang commanded by the brutal Willy, who demands the brothers surrender their fighting techniques in exchange for her safe return. Refusing to capitulate, the Lee twins launch a desperate pursuit through the city's decaying neighborhoods, industrial zones, and overgrown wilderness, battling gang members with their extensive combat arsenal—from fundamental strikes to devastating signature moves and scavenged weaponry. Their journey culminates in a final confrontation at the Black Warriors' stronghold, where they must face Willy himself to rescue Marian and dismantle the gang's grip on the city.
