Storyline
A dramatic tale of revenge sees Nariko, a fiery red-haired heroine embark on a quest for vengeance against an invading King and his army. The story builds around the ancient Heavenly Sword which once belonged to a powerful deity and can never be wielded by a mortal without it draining their life-force, killing them within hours.
