At the dawn of the 22nd century, an evil power brought inanimate objects to life, and they turned on humanity. Bridges, automobiles, cities – the whole of humanity's creations were all compelled to turn on their makers. Mankind's fears of apocalypse became reality!
Hidden amongst humanity's survivors, an elite unit of specially trained ninja known as Moondivers has been lying in wait for orders to reclaim the planet.
Today, those orders arrived. Today, the battle to retake Earth begins.
Moon Diver was created by Koichi Yotsui, the visionary game designer behind Strider.
