The powerful god Hyprion has recruited four of Earth's most powerful warriors and assembled them into a team to fight the encroaching darkness. The player assumes control of this group of warriors in order to defeat Ashura." Source: Wikipedia, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Blasters," available under the CC-BY-SA License.
