*BEFORE YOU READ, it is highly recommended that you read DS1 first. Otherwise, some of this might not make sense to you. It is located in the secondary index action games. It should be towards the top.
*Story:
The year is 2024. It has been 20 years since the fateful incident in Chicago, Illinois. The city has since recovered from its wounds caused by Darkshadow and his followers. Darkshadow was killed by one of the three people you had played as in DS. But now, a bio-engineering industry known as Orion industries located just outside of London, are trying to create a weapon used in war to surely defeat the enemy. This weapon is a chemical known as CEVT or Chemicaly Engineered Viral Toxin. Its effects could poison and kill an entire country in seven days. Meanwhile, in the Underworld, a new evil has arisen to finish what DarkShadow had started. Back at the mortal world, free rights activists have gone to Orion industries to stop production of the CEVT. Lord Mortemer, the one who plans to succeed where DarkShadow failed, sees the CEVT in London and thinks it would make him unstoppable since he is only strengthened by viruses. A portal to the Underworld is opened inside Orion industries and panic occurs to the city of London, England. Enter the two who can stop this new evil, Karen Selpheen, a scientist who was working on the CEVT until activists were sent to sto production, and Matthew Robertson, a mercenary leader sent in to stop the CEVT production. As chaos ensues, the player steps into the world of DarkShadow: Apocalyptic Future.
Gameplay:
Gameplay is basically the same as in DS1. The same controls, same anime look. But now there are only two playable characters. As you start out, you have several good weapons, which might I remind have infinent ammunition. Your weapons vary by character, Matthew starts with a long dagger, which later in the game morphs into a sword, an M-4 tactical assault rifle and grenade gun, a flashlight, and his Desert Eagle magnum. Karen starts with a sawed-off shotgun, and a kitana sword. Your main inventory (brought up by pressing the select button) consists of your life meter, current equiped firearm and sword, and your item list. There are many new gun and sword techniques that will be used to open doors and destroy enemies. New techniques will be used such as pushing X button to move a chair or table in front of a door or passageway to block off enemies, sniping enemies from windows, or using the enviromental surrondings to your avail (like getting behind doors or crates to block gunfire, shoving enemies into water or a pit, using explosive barrells or fire to destroy enemies nearby, using traps to lure enemies into, etc). Some other new features include getting behind an enemy and interogating them to gain information on where to go and where certain items are. Traps are now in play, tripone and you might trigger the alarm to sound in a building or could activate a deadly spike trap. In the game, you will earn new moves or buy them at Orion industries shops located around the city. Earning of experience is gone, you can still improve your health but this time you must collect titanium spheres to improve your maximum health level. Dirrerent items can be earned, also. These include cubes or currency, spheres which heal you, titanium spheres which improve your maximum health level, cylinders when used expel a magic force to destroy all enemies that surround you, demon tears improve your attack speed and force for a limited time, and substences let you pick from a list of powers to have one for a limited time. This game would recieve an M rating due to blood and gore, violence, mild language, and mature sexual content. The main menu at the start screen will say start new game, load saved game, options, and extras (if the game has been completed once).
