Synopsis
Context
Nature is in agony, the flora is losing its colors and the agriculture never been so low. The media calls it the Wilting and it's a slow end for the world.
Many people feel that the gods themselves backfire on humanity, they are right. Ancient gods from various mythologies decided to punish humanity and to slowly erase them with the ambition to purify the world. Luckily, not all the gods want the end of the human race, some deities choose to fight against the Wilting but their only chance it's to act in the human world itself. It's why they reincarnate into humans, losing their memory but not their powers. Since the start of the Wilting, thirty years ago, we are starting to see simple boys and girls with the capacity to transform themselves into a god-like form, a Deity, we call them the Heirs. They have enhanced physical abilities in addition to their divine powers, making them the perfect fighters. They will fight against the other gods' armies whether they are spirits, demons or even humans. The majority of the Heirs, as a distant descendant to a devoted believers like an oracle, a shaman, a priest or even a king, are chosen by their Deity and born with their power. If not, others were given their power as the Heirs can give their Deity to someone else but only right before dying.Not only the Heirs are in the front of the line in this fight for the humanity, multiple governments ally their force and formed the Primordial Program. The Primordial Program is an intergovernmental operation with the aim of unifying the Heirs, finding them around the world, and stopping the Wilting. They assemble the Heirs in their headquarter in Tokyo where they learn to fight and use their power. Unfortunately, on the other side, there is The Eighth Seal. A sinister cult composed of powerful people waiting for the divine purification of what they call a "corrupted world". They are the allies of the Wilting. Their aim varies between the members, if some of them want to help the Ancient Gods to gain their favor, other wants to become one of them. As the Primordial Program, they seek for the Heirs but manipulate them to become their weapons. There are the first enemy of the Primordial Program, the Ancient gods' servants. As an occult organization, The Eighth Seal performs devastating rituals from various ancient religions. They learned to manipulate the power of the Heirs and how to transfer a Deity to a Heirs from another person. Enter the age of the divine resurgence where the future of humanity |

Roster
Heirs to the Wrath features a roster of 16 playable characters that could be selected by the player. Each character has their own Deity transformation, moveset, personality and they are all part of the game story. A fighter, or an Heir, is a human with the ability to transform himself into a deity form giving him divine power in relation with his transformation. For example, as the Heir of Helios, Titan of the sun, Alec uses his power from the sun and can fight with a fire whip.
Depending on their story, a fighter is, sometimes, related whether to The Primordial Program, an intergovernmental operation fighting against the Wilting or to The Eighth Seal, a secret cult fighting for the Wilting.

She wants to find a scientific way through the surrealist world of the Deities.

Since that day, she started to have suspicion about the true activities of her organization. | |||||||||||||||||
|
Lou | |||||||||||||||||
As her powers give her the ability to control the animals and read their minds, she quickly becomes one of the most useful Heirs for the Primordial Program when they need secret information. Her naivety and childish nature makes her easy to manipulate and it's why the Eighth Seal secretly approaches her and are slowly guiding her to their plan. | |||||||||||||||||
|
Saeko | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
She is part of the Primordial Program. Despite her worried and submissive nature, she wants to help the world against the Wilting. Four years ago, Saeko's village was, under the attack of an Ancient God, she was saved by Wei but at the price to be the sole survivor. Horrified but determined to never let something like that happens again she asked Wei to teach her his martial arts, Wei accepted and brought her in a forest where he lived as a hermit.

Being rejected from this mission by Yamatoni, she became the sole Heir in the Primordial Project with Amina and JiaJun. Since then, Zoya became in charge of training and leading the new Heirs into the fight against the Wilting thanks to the demanding training she received from her past mentor. She later learned that he had survived but also contributed to the fail of the mission, he was a betrayer. Since then she swears to destroy him. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|
JiaJun | |||||||||||||||||
Despite not being taken seriously by the rest of the Eighth Seal council, JiaJun has a unlimited knowledge about the occult arts and the science.

Qingyun doesn't know her true nature as JiaJun gave her false memory. She is still in deny, despite that she's always wearing glove on her hands and hiding her forearms because her skin is turning into blue and her upper limbs are splitting themselves in two. As an artificial Heirs like Darren, her Deity form is hardly stable.

OrionAll the experiment successes of JiaJun come to one point: making Qingyun the most powerful being on Earth by giving her an artificial Deity.Due to her luminescent Deity form, Qingyun calls herself Orion. In this superior Deity form, Qingyun has access to a larger and more dangerous moveset who makes her the ultimate fighter and a real challenge for the opponent. Her new Deity form is 3 meters-tall making her the tallest fighter in the game. UBER ORION As a more powerful version of Orion, Uber Orion is a secret final boss that you can find through different modes of the game. She means to be a real challenge even for skilled players. Her damages and Health are nearly doubled. |

Despite being an Heirs, Janus doesn't have fighting skills but, as a planner, he is at his best behind the battlefield or in the shadows of more powerful character. In the Ascension Mode, taking place in an alternative universe, Janus plays a completely different character as a TV reporter who interviews the champion at the end of the game. |
Gameplay
Heirs to the Wrath is like typical 3D fighting games, it plays with 7-buttons corresponding to moves including motion, attack, guard, throw or, as we see later, transformation. As most of the fighting game, Heirs to the Wrath focus on an attack/defense strategy where the players have to take advantages of his opponent's moves to gain a chance to attack or, inversely, to anticipate a disadvantaging situation and entering in a defensive strategy.
Inspired by the Bloody Roar series, the overall fighting system is based on the Deity Transformation where the player can transform his fighter into their powerful and more agile god-like form with an extended attack arsenal. In Deity form, the player can execute a Wrath Move, the strongest attack, before come back to his Human form.
The player can also enter in Titan form, more powerful than in Deity form, where he can perform Wrath Move without automatically comes back in Human mode. In this form, the Deity Gauge is flashing and gradually fade away over time, once it's empty, the fighter back to a Human form.

Click on EXPAND to read the complete synopsis. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
INTRODUCTION Four years ago. Yamatoni and Sophia are, accompanied by multiple soldiers, residing in a military camp above a little Japanese village. Some of the soldiers are Heirs and already in their Deity form. Sophia tells Yamatoni to be prudent, their enemy, The Eighth Seal, is waiting for them. Yamatoni says that they have no time to waste, The Eighth Seal wants to destroy the village to take the sacred ground beneath the village and the more sacred grounds The Eighth Seal possess, the closer they are to attaining their goal in purifying the Earth from humanity and giving it back to heinous Ancient Gods. As members of the Primordial Program who fight against the Eighth Seal, Yamatoni and Sophia know that each battle against their opponent are determinant for the future of the world. Sophia is scared, she feels that they can't win this battle and as Yamatoni advances with his troops, she sadly asks him: "Now that we can believe in the gods, do we have to believe in fate?" to which Yamatoni responds "If our fate is to see our world dying, I wouldn't believe in gods, even if I were one.". "But you are one," she whispers before, suddenly, we see a gigantic figure shining in the background. Everything in the military base starts to float in the air, including Yamatoni and a terrified Sophia. Some soldiers and objects around them are brutally set in a blue fire. From a wide shot, we see the military base camps ignited. THE PRIMORDIAL PROGRAM Present. There are various recorded videos and TV news reports illustrating the situation of the world under, what we call, the Wilting, a slow apocalypse handled by The Eighth Seal. We see obscured natures, devastated farm families and evil spirits attacking people. We also see a conference where multiple world leaders announce the opening of the Primordial Program, an ambitious operation to counter the apocalypse. Accompanying these images, we hear Zoya who is reading Yamatoni's letter, talking about how the world changed and how he wants to take on his role against Ancient gods. Then, we see Zoya in an acrobatic fighting training. Alec comes to the dojo of the Primordial Program Headquarter in Tokyo where Zoya resides. She asks him to wait while she gets changed but Alec prefers a fight between them, after such a long journey to come here and he needs a warm-up. (Fight : Alec vs Zoya) Later, Zoya and Alec drink at a bar. Alec talks about how his mother Sophia, told him one day that his life doesn't belong to him, as an Heir, a human with the power of transforming himself into a mythological god, his destiny is clear: he must serve humanity and, if he ignores it, it's like choosing to destroy it. Zoya nods, she explains that humans find themselves on a battlefield between gods who want to reset the worlds and gods who want to keep it like it is, and they use them, the Heirs, to fight each other like chess pawns. Alec seems bothered to what Zoya responds "I still understand you. Family, it's harsh... My parents were afraid of my power and left me here. After that, and despite all the deceptions, I keep searching for someone to take care of me... So, Alec if we can find your mother I will help you, you have my promise." She continues saying that if the real enemies are the Ancient gods, they have to annihilate the Eighth Seal first, as they are the one who lead the fight of the gods here amongst the humans. She shows a picture of the Eighth Seal most recent leader, Yamatoni. Alec, confused, knows him through his mother's files, Yamatoni was a close colleague of her when she worked for the Primordial Program. Zoya knows that if Alec joins The Primordial Program, he is to find answers about his missing mother but she wants to make it clear, Alec has to collaborate, their biggest operation will start as soon as they find Yamatoni's emplacement. There's is no time for questioning, Yamatoni is a traitor and knows too much about the Primordial Program since he used to work with them, we can't let him disclose anything. In their return, Zoya and Alec are interrupted by Johona, an assassin working for the Eighth Seal. Johona transforms herself into her Deity form. (Fight : Zoya vs Johona). Once Johona is defeated, she insults them for going against their true destiny, as chosen by the Ancient gods they have to build a new world. She especially points to Zoya: "I would like to know what Lucifer thinks about your choice?", Zoya can't keep her calm as she's starting to shiver and says "I am Michael's Heir and only his." Johona smiles replying, "How long will you hold him back before the next incident?" Alec gets closer to Zoya as Johona disappears and, then, remarks another presence. The assassin was not alone, a mysterious guy stands on the roof above them. Alec pursues him but he is quickly taken down by what appears to be a humanoid wolf. The wolf then jumps and disappears in a sudden blizzard. UNSTABLE AND VIOLENT On her way to home, Amina, a medical researcher for the Primordial Program, finds an Heir, Darren, writhing in pain, he can't control his Deity form. Amina tries to help him but Darren becomes violent. (Fight : Amina vs Darren) As Darren falls unconscious, Amina calls her colleague to come and help her but a truck stops in front of her. JiaJun comes out of the truck, gets behind the unstable Heirs and ties him up to a stretcher before he takes him aboard. Anima doesn't understand what’s happening, she tries to stop JiaJun but she's too weakened by her previous fight to do anything about it. JiaJun then finds out that she is from the Primordial Program and, as a member of the Eighth Seal himself, he decides to kill her but Darren starts to move again and JiaJun knows that he has to hurry up if he doesn't want more trouble with him. In the truck, JiaJun tells Darren that he can't stop the experiment. Suddenly, Darren wakes up in rage, invokes thunder and the vehicle falls on the road. (Fight : JiaJun vs Darren) NEON NIGHT Elek-trode finishes her night as a DJ. She catches up by Janka, a spy paid for her protection. Elek-trode doesn't want The Eighth Seal or, even, the Primordial Program to discover her existence mainly because of her renown father, a French minister, and counts on Janka's help. The woman adverts her that the Eighth Seal already knows her secret and now she's in the center of their plans. Elek-trode doesn't understand how they could’ve find her but Janka confesses to be their source. For Janka, the Eighth Seal members are a better investment. Elek-trode feels betrayed. She invested money in someone who she was supposed to trust. Elek-trode could feel the anger boiling up within her. She eventually could no longer contain her rage and she lashes out at Janka. (Fight : Janka vs Elek-trode) FAREWELL In a forest, Saeko is in search for Wei. Saeko looks back on her past. Four years ago, she tried to escape her village which was being demolished by the Eighth Seal at that time. She is reminded of all her friends and family dying right in front of her and how Wei saved her. At first she was afraid, Wei was a soldier from the Eighth Seal, but he felt guilty after seeing Saeko and eventually ran away with her. During those four years, Wei - who supported Saeko’s strong desire to stop the Eighth Seal - taught his martial arts skills to Saeko in this excluded forest Now, Saeko wants to return to civilization, she has been approached by the Primordial Program and wants to help them. Before leaving, she asks Wei to join her and the Primordial Program. Wei refuses, he can't go back to the civilization but he's proud of her former apprentice and want to see her progress. They both agree to a friendly sparring match. (Fight : Saeko vs Wei) In a dark alley, we see Yamatoni alone. He is talking to a mysterious woman on his phone. He's telling her, that The Primordial Program are about to take action and that they need to be ready. As he's still speaking, we see lots of birds spying him, one of the birds then flies away to land on Lou's finger, Lou is one the Heirs of the Primordial Program. Lou becomes really enthusiastic and turns to Zoya saying: "He is in town! We found Yamatoni!". THE TRAITOR
We return to the dojo with Alec, Zoya, Lou and now too, Saeko. Due to the power of their Heirs, they are the four most powerful soldiers of the Primordial Project and the center of the next operation. Zoya is proud to see her new team and now that Yamatoni is localized, the operation can finally start. She congratulates Lou to have found Yamatoni, as an Heir of the God of animals she could follow Yamatoni with her servant birds. Zoya also congratulates Saeko and Alec for joining the right side of this war. She asks if the plan is understood by everyone one final time, and as everyone nods, they move to what should be Yamatoni's position. The location is an unsteady building. Zoya isn't surprised by Yamatoni's choice which makes Alec think that Zoya knows a lot about him. They attack the place but Yamatoni was a step ahead and counterattacks with smoke bomb and traps. (Fight : Zoya, Alec vs Yamatoni) Alec is defeated but Zoya, even while injured, swears to finish this fight. We then learn that Zoya was Yamatoni's protegee during his time in the Primordial Program. Yamatoni rejects her accusations and calls her a traitor, but she won't listen. Yamatoni chooses the hard way and transforms himself into Odin (Fight: Zoya vs Yamatoni) Zoya beats him but Yamatoni still tries to convince her he's not one of the leaders of the Eighth Seal. Suddenly, multiple Eighth Seal soldiers surround them and Johona appears fiercely. Lou was a traitor, she revealed their operation to the Eighth Seal. All the Heirs use their power to defeat the others but, weakened by their previous fights, the Primordial Program members can't keep up against their opponents. Johona captures Alec and Saeko. Zoya successes to run away with Yamatoni. Somewhere, Qingyun carries out rituals on an unconscious man covered in blood. She is in a place that resemble cathedral interiors. As she focuses on her ceremony, she speaks with Janka. The spy says that they may have captured some of them. Yamatoni is still on the run and now that the Primordial Program will regain their trust for him, they will soon discover who the true leaders of The Eighth Seal are. Suddenly, Caleb enters the chamber and interrupts their conversation. Caleb confesses to have followed Johona, he wants to know who Zoya is and what the Primordial Program is. Above all, the experiments on him start to exhaust him, he wants them to stop. Qingyun loses her temper, Caleb, who she called her son, has to understand that the experiments are crucial for the future of humanity and that he doesn't have a word to say about how she's leading the mission of the Eighth Seal.

2nd Chapter - A New Myth
while Saeko and Alec have been made prisoners by the cult. Click on EXPAND to read the complete synopsis. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
IN GOD'S HANDS Somewhere in Chile, an elderly woman prays in a little chapel. Soledad appears telling her that Yamatoni has found her aggressor, the one who nearly left her dead two years ago. She now has to join the Primordial Program. The other woman, who is revealed to be Soledad's mother, consents, she will keep praying for her protection. Soledad however, doesn't need that, she can only count on herself. Her mother smiles, she always knew that her daughter would do great things, and now, with this gift she can save humanity. Soledad asks her mother how she knows that it's not He Himself who started the end of this world to what her mother responds that He will always be on the side of his creation, like a mother protecting her child. Soledad does not believe her and chooses to leave in silence. As she's walking, the shot moves out and we can see the Chilean village where the scene takes place, and we see more and more of the devastation caused by the Wilting. DESPAIR In the Eighth Seal HQ, Lou speaks with JiaJun, now that her task is completed, she wants to see Sophia. JiaJun laughs and presents to her a skull with strange organic tissues which he claims to be what remains of Sophia. Lou, heartbroken and furious, attacks him but she is blocked by Johona (Johona vs Lou). JiaJun explains that it was only Sophia's fault, her vanity lead her to her death. JiaJun orders to conduct Lou where she won't be a nuisance. The girl, even while injured, defends herself and defeats the men who tried to take her before Johona finally knocks her out. THE MISSING LINK In the Tokyo airport, Soledad walks down the stairs of the aircraft to Yamatoni and Zoya who were waiting for her in front of the plane. We learn that Soledad became an Heir during a massacre caused by another Heir. She was given her powers by a dying man but she was also hit and left for dead. Ever since her first transformation, she felt a strange connection with her aggressor and she can even feel his presence. The Primordial Program needs her, because according to Yamatoni's source, Soledad's infamous aggressor has been captured by the Eighth Seal. If they find him, they will find the Eighth Seal HQ. In the Dojo, Zoya trains the already very skilled Soledad (Soledad vs Zoya). For fun, Yamatoni joins the fight on Soledad's side and Amina, invited by Zoya, joins hers (Zoya, Amina vs Soledad, Yamatoni). They then receive a visit from a government representative, their plan of operation has been validated and they can operate as soon as necessary. WHISPERS Janka, in the museum, is joined by Yamatoni. She's his source. Janka adds that Qingyun, who is in charge of the Eighth Seal here in Tokyo, is preparing something independently from the rest of the cardinals, the cult leaders. If she succeeds the consequences will be irreversible. Despite Yamatoni's insistence, Janka doesn't want to say more so Yamatoni suggests a fight. If he wins, she tells everything, Janka accepts (Janka vs Yamatoni). Yamatoni is defeated but still has a question for Janka, as he sees her six-point star pendant falling from her neck, "A believer?" he says. Janka holds her pendant tight before responding "We are not gods, Yamatoni, these Deities, they are like us, limited to this world, somehow to this reality. I still believe in a greater force beyond all of it, He's maybe not the one who I think He is, but I know He's there, watching us." Yamatoni confesses being surprised to see some humility in a person like her. DON'T LET THEM HAVE YOU At a night club exit, Johona finds Elek-trode, Elek-trode understands right away that Johona is sent by the Eighth Seal, she tries to run away but Johona is faster, the confrontation is inevitable (Johona vs Elek-trode). Elek-trode wakes up in Qingyun's office with Johona, and guards behind her. Qingyun knows that she's the Minister's daughter. Qingyun goes straight to the point, she is there because they need her father to contribute to the Eighth Seal. Elek-trode refuses the imposed threats, her father won't help them, he doesn't make deal with terrorists. Qingyun expected that, she then plays a videotape where we can see Elek-trode transform herself. The girl laughs at her, even this video won't help them, the Heirs are seen as heroes working with governments to fight against The Wilting, she will only be annoyed if her secret is out. But that won’t be suffice to blackmail her own father. Not losing her temper, Qingyun says that even though she refuses to do so now, soon enough, she won't be around to have the same conversation again. Johona gets a call form JiaJun that something bad is happening right now at the confinement section, but nothing more is heard. Johona secretly informs Qingyun who, this time, can't control her irritation against JiaJun's irresponsibilities. She orders the guards to take Elek-trode to her cells, saying to the prisoner that if she can't use her as a hostage, she could still use her as a subject for new experiments. As Elek-trode leaves the room, Qingyun asks Johona to take care of their sudden annoyance. Johona goes out the office but stops and briefly sees Caleb spying on them. Qingyun asks why she is hesitant to leave the office. Johona feigns to not have seen Caleb and responds: "The Eighth Seal asked you to get this girl and forced her father to give us the authority to take the sacred grounds in France and you seemed to be succeeding in this task but I can't help myself to think that you have another aim in mind." Qingyun gets angry about how Johona authorizes this kind of discourse with her. Johona adds that she is not her servant, she is there, by the other cardinals' orders, to execute the plan and to see if everything goes as expected, and with this in mind, she has doubts. Quingyun says that she can do whatever she wants on her mission, she is one of the Eighth Seal cardinals, she doesn't have to wait for the confirmation of others. If she chooses to do more than just threaten a brat for the cult, she will. Johona replies that "Loki, Lucifer even Zeus... among the greater gods, there are always traitors." She then leaves and winks at Caleb. APPROACHING DANGER In the dark, we can hear a man scream before the sounds of flesh being torn apart fill the room. The scream wakes Alec and Saeko. Their awakening is brutal as they don't know where they are and find themselves completely surrounded by dead bodies. Alec acknowledges that the bodies are the men they’ve fought when they were trapped by the Eighth Seal in Yamatoni’s apartment. Judging from the surroundings, they are inside the cathedral-like building, and by the lack of windows, maybe even underground. As they explore the place, Saeko, finally sees who caused this onslaught. It was Darren. He once again succeeded to escape from JiaJun hands. The monster stops and turns his eyes toward the two prisoners with the severed head of a guard in his hand (Saeko, Alec vs Darren). Alec is ready to continue the fight but Saeko stands between them. She thinks Darren is not their enemy and suggests that they can help him and get out of this place together. Darren stares at them quietly and eventually jumps and disappears from the scene. LOU In their evasion, Alec and Saeko find Lou under what seems to be ritualistic experiments. At first, despite Saeko's advice, Alec refuses to help this traitor. Lou, crying, explains that she only wanted to help Sophia. Alec understands that his mother, Sophia, helped Lou during her time in the Primordial Program and before being taken by the Eighth Seal. As they have the same goal, to find Sophia, Alec frees her. A really angry JiaJun then appears. He is too busy about Darren's escape to see the trio. Alec wants to fight him but Lou needs her revenge on him (Lou vs JiaJun). Suddenly, Darren jumps in the place and attacks the group, JiaJun runs away (Saeko, Alec vs Darren). Facing Darren's pain and sadness, the group mourns, they feel sorry for him. The suffering Heir fades into the shadows. Alec and Saeko get closer as she searches for comfort from the situation. Lou explains that they tried to make her believe that Sophia is dead but she doesn't believe it. She learns that they keep other hostages in the deepest levels of this place where they run their most horrific experiment. If Sophia is alive she must be there. In addition, she explains that there is also a dangerous prisoner there and he's nicknamed the Heathen. When Lou was still in JiaJun's hands, he threatened to give her to the Heathen if she didn't calm down. DARKNESS FALL In a forest, the rest of the Primordial Program, Zoya, Soledad and Yamatoni, locate the secret cathedral constructed under a sacred ground. Johona welcomes them (Zoya vs Johona). When defeated, Johona flees. the group then combines power to open the ground and to create an entrance to the Eighth Seal HQ. In her desk, Qingyun gets a call from Johona. The assassin informs her that the Primordial Program are trying to invade the HQ. Qingyun smiles and asks one of her guard to bring her special prisoners. Hearing an earthquake, Caleb stops his experiment and gets dressed before running into Alec, Saeko and Lou. Alec wants his revenge, since their last encounter on that roof (Alec vs Caleb). Caleb asks them to stop, he wants to join them. He explains that he did not understand what the Eighth Seal was about, they always hid the truth for him, he thought that they wanted him to save the world, not to annihilate it. Saeko asks him why they have captured Alec and her, but Caleb doesn't even know why they set a trap for the Primordial program group as the principal mission was to blackmail government representatives (like Elek-trode's father). Another earthquake happens, Caleb wonders what could cause it? Lou answers him: “It's one of the other Primordial Program members. Zoya would never let someone being taken by the Eighth Seal.” Caleb remembers that Zoya was frequently cited by Qingyun, she even asked Johona to spy on her. In another area of the Eighth Seal HQ, Zoya and the rest of the Primordial Program team arrive but they only find Qingyun who was waiting for them. We return to Alec and the others. At this point, everything becomes clear to Caleb, Qingyun did not follow the Eighth Seal operations, she's on her own, an operating individual. Caleb says: "Qingyun did not care for you two. She elaborated the trap with Lou because she wanted Zoya... but she did not succeed so she took you three here to…", "Bring Zoya to this place." continues Saeko. We now return to Zoya. Qingyun smiles and then brings forth a terrified couple and Zoya recognizes them immediately. They are her parents. They seem more afraid of their daughter than Qingyun herself, they start to scream "Devil!" at Zoya and pray to God to save them from Satan. Zoya in tears, implores them to stop, asks them to listen to her. “I can control my powers now!” She insists. As she's saying it, she hears her Deity forms Michael and Lucifer talking to her in her mind. Michael asks her to remain strong but Lucifer laughs and says that it is now his turn to play. Zoya can't bear this voice any longer and falls down. Alec seems to now understand what Caleb and Saeko are trying to say. Zoya is the most powerful Heir in their team, Qingyun wants her powers. We go back to Zoya. Qingyun smiles one more time and then slashes the throats of Zoya's parents. Zoya is completely overwhelmed and yells. Her almost inhuman screams fill the room as she spectacularly transforms herself into Lucifer. As the scene shifts back to Qingyun, a small red light is seen behind her implying that a camera was running. Everything that has happened was recorded. LIST OF BATTLES

3rd Chapter - The Heathens
and an anticipated meeting between Soledad and his aggressor Ezequiel. Click on EXPAND to read the complete synopsis. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
WE ARE NOT ALONE All around the world, the video of Zoya transforming herself into Lucifer is broadcasting. Qingyun announces with usage of the transmission, that The Eighth Seal had already corrupted the Primordial Program and it's Lucifer, their leader, who will guide them through their domination over humanity. It's a lie from Qingyun but it seems to work, as all the media relayed the information. The reporters recognize Zoya as one of the most prominent Heirs working with the Primordial Program, but in front of what they call “her true face”, they come to the conclusion that, as Qingyun said, the Heirs were their enemies since the beginning, they are just evil spirits taking human form. In downtown Tokyo, Amina watches the video transmission. She's terrified that the world is starting to fear the Heirs and as a member of the Primordial Program herself, she is known to the general public. She is starting to have the feeling that people are looking at her. Amina nervously starts to run but she soon notices that she was not the one that everyone was looking at. Darren is in front of her. He is completely lost and begs her for help. Suddenly, the Heir is brutally injured by Johona, who was chasing him apparently. Everybody, except the three Heirs, runs away in screams. (Amina vs Johona) As she wins, Amina stops herself to execute Johona. The humiliated assassin orders Amina to kill her, she doesn't want any mercy from a heathen. Amina makes a statement about tolerance, her parents accepted her condition and never saw anything else than a human in her. Heirs aren't just a part in this war between the gods, they are humans as well, they are more than the weapons of the gods. They have their own life, their own soul. "Johona, you more than anyone else should understand that we are not defined by others, even our own body won't impose us to be what we really want to be." the scientist concludes. CRITICAL STATE As Zoya struggles to control her Lucifer form, Qingyun transforms herself into her Kali form and grabs Zoya by her throat: "Don't try to go against him, it will be less painful, give him what he wants and join us. Haven't you suffered enough?" Yamatoni and Soledad try to help but the soldiers who accompanied Qingyun block them. A blinding ray of light invades the room, wild animals jump on the soldiers and the earth beneath them moves and captures Yamatoni and Soledad, eventually bringing them outside the room. It were the combined powers of Alec, Lou and Saeko who save them. The first thing Yamatoni sees is Caleb, but he recognizes him as Qingyun's adopted son and confronts him without a second thought. (Yamatoni vs Caleb) Saeko and Alec retain Yamotoni until he understands that Caleb is their ally. Yamatoni then requires everyone to come back and save Zoya, but Lou already had a discussion with Zoya before about this case scenario and she knows how powerful her Lucifer form can be. She concludes: “Without a plan, we have no chance.” Meanwhile in the other room, Qingyun is too fascinated by Lucifer to take care of the others. As Zoya is still struggling, Qingyun orders the soldiers to bring the angel to her cell and to kill the - now rendered useless - Primordial Program team. Finally, the cardinal takes her phone and asks JiaJun to move forward with Elek-Trode. Everything is going as planned and Qingyun, as she finds herself alone in the room, smiling and savoring her first victory. A spying crow flies away and lands on Yamatoni's hand, Lou uses her power to communicate with the bird and informs the group about what was going on. Because they have to act quickly, she suggests that they should start by saving all the prisoners in the HQ. After what they did to her, she can’t let the Eighth Seal torture anyone else. Saeko agrees, there are too many tortured innocents here. They can save Zoya afterwards. Caleb informs them that a command room, where they could control all the cells in the HQ, is situated beneath them. On the other hand, Caleb also knows that if they lose sight of Qingyun and let her tame Zoya, she will become unstoppable. As he knows where Qingyun is going now, he can still surprise her and stop her. Although the chance of finding his mother Sophia is bigger if he joins the rest of the group, Alec decides against it and opts to join Caleb on his mission. The group argues but finally accepts to split up. DANCING ON ALARMS In the meantime in the command room, Elek-trode is held down by five soldiers pointing their guns at her. If she were to ever try to transform herself, they’d shoot. Elek-trode is terrified as she can see what's happening with Zoya on multiple screens in the room. An angry JiaJun then enters in the room, mumbling about how he’s doing Qingyun's job instead of taking care of Darren or doing experiments on Zoya. He explains to Elek-trode that now, everyone on Earth sees the Heirs as demons working for the devil himself. "Who could be more evil than Lucifer, am I right?!". He holds a phone in front of her and asks her if she's still thinking that she will stay a celebrity after her secret is announced. From the phone, we hear the voice of Elek-trode's father, the french Minister. "Oui Allô ?" he says. "Dad?" Elek-trode is starting to cry. "Romane! what's happening? did you see the news? Are you safe?" "I am so sorry Dad but..." "What?" "I..." Suddenly, Saeko, Lou, Soledad and Yamatoni kick the doors of the command room, distracting all the soldiers. The captive then smiles and says to her father: "I had to kick some asses". Elek-trode transforms herself in Sekhmet and uses her impressive power to knock out all the soldiers, jumping around and changing into sand to navigate between the opponents. She, then, arrives in front of the group and Saeko nervously attacks her (Elek-Trode vs Saeko). As they all settle down and finally understand that they’re all on the same side, the DJ explains that they filmed Zoya's transformation and that they’re broadcasting it all around the world. Suddenly, a noise comes from under the command table. Saeko notices JiaJun’s presence and grabs him. He's terrified and seemingly injured by Elek-trode. Some bruises from his fight with Darren are still visible as well. Saeko forces him to open all the prison cells and while shaking on his legs, he does as he’s told. As the cell doors are opening, all the prisoners are released and bring even more chaos to the place. We can vaguely see a strange man with an evil smile watching his cell doors open. The group, then, leaves the command room for helping the prisoners to get out of the HQ. Except Soledad, as her teammates walk out the door, she notices the strange man on a screen. She recognizes her aggressor in him and takes this opportunity to quit the rest of the group and confront him. Somewhere else in the HQ, Alec and Caleb come across a highly protected door. Caleb explains that they will find Qingyun behind this door, and claims that almost certainly, Zoya must be with her as well. It's a place where Qingyun goes regularly to practice her occult rituals and she will need them for taming Lucifer. Caleb interlocks the door announcing the final fight. SOUL MATE Ezequiel goes through the corridors of the prison, killing anybody in his way until he suddenly faces Soledad. They both do not move, as Soledad is filled with anger and fear. Ezequiel starts to vaguely remember the girl in front of him. Soledad’s angry look helps him fill in the blanks. Ezequiel now remembers and congrats her to have outlived their last encounter. He decides to not attack her as a sign of respect. Soledad shakes her head. She doesn't want to miss this chance to confront him, to kill him, to let him pay for what he has done and transforms herself into her Deity form. Ezequiel smiles and accepts the duel. (Soledad vs Ezequiel). Soledad thinks she is winning but Ezequiel defeats her by surprise. He reaches out and takes Soledad by the hair and raises her up. A voice interrupts him. Someone in the shadows speaks to Ezequiel, asking if he thinks that any more of this cruelty will help him forget. Ezequiel looks down and then thrusts out long claws from his fingers, nearly pressing the points of his nails against Soledad's eye. After some time, Ezequiel relents and withdraws his claws, telling the voice that each murder is a short liberation and he simply walks away. Ezequiel makes his way and passes the shadow of Wei who apparently was the one talking to him. GLASS CAGE Saeko, Elek-trode, Yamatoni, Lou and JiaJun enter in the deepest level of the Eighth Seal HQ. They come across various prisoners who run away in all directions. Yamatoni tells them how to get out, with the others helping him to guide the crowd, everyone except Lou. Lou sees a mysterious door, bigger than the rest of the doors he’s seen before. This one is more advanced than the rest. It's the only cell that did not open and the technology surrounding the door implied that it could not have been opened from the command room. She asks JiaJun if Sophia is in there, and as he nods Lou starts to transform herself immediately and summons all of her Heir’s power to break the door. She’s too busy to listen to Saeko’s warnings, who remarked her haste. After summoning a buffalo, Lou is finally able to break the door. However, when they enter the room, it seems completely empty. As she turns around to ask JiaJun where to find Sophia, she doesn't see Zoya waking up in the shadows still in her Lucifer form. To everyone’s surprise, Zoya orders everyone to flee from her, that she can't control herself but as she warms them, she relentlessly starts to attack Lou. Lou is seriously injured in the process and blood is spilled everywhere. If Zoya is still lucid, she seems to have no control over her body anymore. JiaJun, proud of his lie, takes advantage of the situation to run away and imprisons Saeko in the cell with Lou and the powerful Zoya. Elek-trode and Yamatoni are locked out of the room, screaming their names in terror. Saeko has to fight alone as Lou has fainted, too injured to move. (Saeko vs Zoya). Saeko breathlessly falls down, as she defeated Zoya. The fight was so intense that it broke the walls around them. Finally, the door falls down, letting Elek-trode and Yamatoni in. Zoya is exhausted, laying on the ground, but she's starting to laugh and progressively regains her power in front of the others. They are particularly afraid of what is coming. Yamatoni then gets up, throw himself on Zoya and tries to maintain her as he confesses a fatherly love for her. "I did not want to abandon you, I did not want to be another loved one who let you down. I have to stay dead, to know more about the Eighth Seal. I am sorry kiddo, you were the daughter I never had, please forgive me. I just want you to finally find peace, after all you’ve gone through." As he speaks, Zoya defends herself like a maniac and scratches his flesh but suddenly, she stops. Her entire body loosens. She looks dead but they can hear her repress her tears. Her wings start to grow and color themselves red, she transforms herself into a third Deity form: Seraphim. Zoya then closes her eyes and slowly returns to her human form. "You are so beautiful." says Yamatoni, completely submerged by emotions. After a while, Lou wakes up in a puddle of blood but is still alive and directly calls for Sophia before finally admitting to the truth, she is not there and she will never find her, Sophia is dead, Johona was right. Even though she was barely standing straight, she falls back on the ground, crying. Saeko takes her in her arms and promises her that she’ll always be there for her. Elek-trode eventually joins them, binding all of them. Saeko, Lou, Yamatoni and Zoya, all of them experience a comforting moment in times of peril. THE FINAL FIGHT Alec and Caleb arrive in the center of a Cathedral. Qingyun is not impressed to see the two enter. She speaks: “Now that the world knows about the real nature of the Heirs, everyone will fear them. Now they can finally be what they’re supposed to be: Gods among humans.” He asks her where Zoya is and what she's planning to do with her. Qingyun answers that the Lucifer form was supposed to be transferred into Caleb's body but now that he disappointed her, she will take this Deity form for herself. Caleb doesn't understand, she saw him steal various Deity forms for her in the past during her rituals, why does she need them? She doesn't respond. Alec and Caleb are caught up by Saeko, Yamatoni and Elek-trode. They are visibly all ready to defeat Qingyun once for all. Before the assault, Alec firmly asks: "What happened to Sophia?" He is fed up that he and the young Lou have been played around with and he wants a real answer. The recurring answer is given. Sophia was a member here, she used to do experiments on herself but her vanity to become a real god brought her death as she, one day, went too far on herself. Alec is completely enraged and still accuses her of lying. He can no longer restrain his anger and lashes out at Qingyun (Alec vs Qingyun). Following a group of prison-breakers, Soledad arrives outside the Eighth Seal HQ but... Where are the others? She then feels a presence, she first asks herself if it's Ezequiel but this feeling is more powerful. As every former prisoner around her walks around mindlessly, Soledad knows that an immense threat is approaching. Suddenly, Lou and Zoya appear from the HQ entrance, they had to get out because they were too weak to confront Qingyun, the rest of the group’s members are all together against the cardinal. Zoya reads Soledad’s confusion from her face and asks her what's going on. Soledad does not respond and just stares at the entrance. ORION Qingyun won't give up despite being just defeated by Alec. Yamatoni tells her that she is better to give up, her plan has failed, Zoya is free. Qingyun laughs. "I don't need her anymore, I had what I wanted." she tells to the group. Qingyun reveals that, even if the Eighth Seal wanted Zoya on their side, she only wanted her to terrify the world and discredit the Primordial Program. Her own plan did not fail. She doesn't need to be part of The Eighth Seal anymore, to be one of their cardinals, she uses them as she wanted and she is not scared because she knows well that she is the strongest of them all. Out of her mind, she transforms herself in an enhanced and giant new Deity form, Orion, who doesn’t belong to any ancient or modern religions. Yamatoni recognizes this Deity, four years ago, it was this monster who destroyed their base-camp where Sophia resided. Effortless, Orion defeats the entire group, launching blue fires towards them. Wei appears and stops the fight, using his Power to retain Qingyun. As a former elite in The Eighth Seal, he reveals that Qingyun is an artificial being. The Eighth Seal gives her a strong body, an artificial copy of Deity, Kali, and finally trained her to be their ultimate weapon. Unfortunately, due to the unnatural process of her creation, Qingyun’s deity form Kali began to split into two forms and the latter evolved into Orion. Orion is unstable and always needs to absorb other Deities, if she doesn't absorb Heirs' powers, she will lose sanity and vitality. This is why she keeps so much prisoners here, she’s feeding on them to survive, like vampires that suck the blood from their victims. “You thought that once you had absorbed Zoya’s immense powers you would be free from Orion’s strong desires, but it will be never the case. This is the retribution to play God, this fake idol will always ask for more”. Qingyun should have been livid to have her weakness being unveiled but she was more concerned by the first part of the revelation. Even she herself didn't know she wasn't born human and, as confused as she was, she attacks Wei (Wei vs Orion). Qingyun is defeated. In a psychotic episode, she tears off her gloves and sleeves revealing that her arms are turning blue and her fingers are starting to split up in two. Orion is slowly taking her over. She hits her arms against the floor with such strength that her limbs break and bleed. As she looks at the blood, she whispers: "Not human? What’s the point of life if you are not even a creation from the gods? Who is looking on me?". Suddenly, she uses Orion’s power to make everyone around her levitate and creates blue explosions all around the cathedral. She then disappears behind the deflagration. As the HQ are burning down and the Heirs fall back on the ground, Alec, Yamatoni, Wei, Elek-Trode, Caleb and Saeko know that they have to run, and fast. Alec doesn't want to leave without having found his mother but Yamatoni confesses, one more time, that Qingyun had told him the truth. A long time before her death, he had suspicions about her and he now knows, with certitude, that she was the one who made their mission fail four years ago. An enormous fragment suddenly falls between Yamatoni and the other Heirs. Yamatoni tells them that he will find another way up and runs. Wei guides the group, the first floor is inaccessible and too dangerous, they have to go up and quick. Each of them becoming a Deity using their power to help each other in the flight upwards. THE END The rest of the group, Soledad, Lou and Zoya are outside in the forest, in front of the Eighth Seal HQ entrance which looks like the pit of hell. They are worried. Suddenly the others all jump through the fire. Everyone is safe except Yamatoni who doesn't seem to be with them but Zoya isn't worried. She knows about his abilities of always managing to come back. Tired by what they all went through, they start to silently walk, with all the prisoners, in the truck that has brought the Primordial Program group here before. Saeko, in the arms of Alec, looks with pride at her former master Wei and, without a word, thanks him to go against his value and helping them. Saeko then confesses to Alec about her anxiety for the future of the Heirs, now that the world sees them as monsters, it won't be long before they also accuse them of causing The Wilting. Alec remains speechless and can't reassure her. In the End Credit, we see different TV News talking about the Heirs’ revelation. The animation is in a dark and disturbing tone. The final word: “Following the recent event, the international governments waive their Primordial Program. The Heirs, until shown proof to the contrary, will, now, be treated as potential threat for mankind.” BONUS END JiaJun is cutting through Tokyo buildings, à la spiderman, in his Deity form with his expanding arms. When he arrives on a roof, he calls the Eighth Seal and freaks out. Qingyun went mad, compromising everything, and the Tokyo HQ have been destroyed with his labs in it. Far away on an isolated hill on what seems to be a Greek island, we see a man, with a two-faced Roman mask, on the phone. He reassures JiaJun, it's just a sacrifice for a bigger victory. He hangs up and speaks to a veiled woman who carefully assembles a shrine under a gigantic and magnificent tree where an eight-pointed star is carved in the bark. He tells her that now the Morning Star is out of their plan, they have to break the last seal sooner than expected. We see the woman turn around. It’s Sophia, alive, suddenly a lock of blue hair falls from the veil. As wings appears on her back, she's smiling. LIST OF BATTLES

Development
With the revival of the fighting games market since the release of Street Fighter IV, the HTTW team wanted their own license able to stand out among the 3D fighting games represented by a very limited number of series (Tekken, Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive).
Taking inspiration from the changing form gameplay of a Hudson Soft fighting game series, Bloody Roar, the HTTW team developed the idea of Heirs to the Wrath with strong emphasis of a modern gameplay aiming to the esports tournament market.
An intriguing storyline, charismatic fighters and attractive design were developed so that the game can appeal to both casual gamers and the Western audience as well as garner a fanbase.
For the design, the HTTW team wanted the characters to have an impression of realistic proportionalities in anatomy but with slightly alteration (more slender, less broad shoulders, ...) to give them attractive bodies. Also, their physical traits must have corresponded to their nationality.
