Unbound Saga is based on the upcoming comic book of the same name to be published by Dark Horse Comics, a leading publisher of comic books and graphic novels.

The Unbound Saga video game follows the adventures of comic book tough guy Rick Ajax. Trapped in a comic book world that is always in need of saving, Rick is not only at odds with the constant threats against his world, but also with the ubiquitous entity known as ‘The Maker’ who constantly ‘draws’ new dangers to put in Rick’s path. But Rick has had enough and is making his way, one brawl at a time, to the final throw down with ‘The Maker’. With art by comic book artist/writer Cliff Richards (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Wonder Woman, The New Thunderbolts), Unbound Saga brings hardboiled comic book action and button crunching fighting fury to portable gaming.

Meet the heroes of UNBOUND SAGA: the hard punching, jaw cracking tank Rick Ajax, and the swift kicking sister of slam, Lori Machete.  With fist, foot, table leg, and blade, Rick and Lori are ready to brawl with any punk, mutant, or apron-wearing bear (what?!) dumb enough to set foot in the same panel as them!

RICK AJAX: Full time tough guy Rick Ajax is UNBOUND SAGA’s protagonist who has battled every threat a monthly comic book could ever throw at a guy. Aliens, toxic punks, killer robots, mutant reptiles, you name it, have all locked horns with Rick Ajax at some point or another, and all have been beaten back by his mighty fists. But now, Rick fights for one thing: freedom from a world he is weary of defending.  And that will only happen when he defeats the writer/artist/god hand that created the UNBOUND SAGA, an entity known only as “The Maker”.  It will be an epic showdown!

LORI MACHETE: Beautiful and deadly, Lori Machete is Rick’s loyal ally in the seemingly endless string of battles that have defined their existence. Agile, armed with twin blades and a wicked need to punctuate every headshot with a wise crack, Lori high-kicks her way through any gang of baddies that get in her way. Lori has joined Rick in his quest for The Maker, a journey that will lead them through a gauntlet of foes towards their eventual freedom from a violent and dangerous world.
