Players are able to control one of four different religious soldiers that are technologically advanced in a mission to destroy Neo-Satan and his minions in locations like outer space and Nu Hades, which is located at the Earths' core.^[1]

[edit] Critical reception

The game received generally negative reviews from critics. On the review aggregator Game Rankings, the game had an average score of 40% based on 7 reviews.^[2] On Metacritic, the game had an average score of 34 out of 100, based on 5 reviews.^[1]

Bob Colayco of GameSpot gave the game a rating of 3.1 out of 10, saying the game "is terrible from top to bottom, suffering from bland, derivative gameplay, simplistic level design, brain-dead AI, and a buggy graphics engine that chugs even at low resolution." Colayco said "The game was originally slated to ship for both the Xbox and the PC, but it doesn't take much time with the PC version to understand why the console version was scrapped.", saying that Konami quietly released the game and appeared to care little about it.^[3]
