Slave Zero X takes place 4 years before the events of Slave Zero, which was initially released in 1999. Living machines known as Slaves are being used for war. A secret band of warriors known as The Guardians hope to stop these biomecha from being unleashed upon the world, but one swordsman among their ranks has a different idea: use the enemy’s own weapon against them. By merging with a stolen Slave Unit Prototype, Shou will become a furious Devil in pursuit of killing a false God.
Atop the towering expanse of Megacity S1-9, the autocratic Sovereign Khan holds sway through sheer force and dominion. Deep beneath the decaying underbelly of the city, a vengeful warrior embarks on a relentless quest to end his rule. Set five years prior to the events depicted in Slave Zero, Slave Zero X breathes fresh life into a world plagued by the presence of grotesque, sentient war machines known as Slaves, poised to become the latest instruments of warfare in humanity’s long and brutal history.
