Play as Vasily, an elite operative who once worked for one of the biggest arms industry corporations in the world. Officially working in security, you were tasked with infiltration, assassination, extortion and even torture. When eventually the corporation decided to turn you into one of its cyborg soldiers, you manage to narrowly escape to a secluded monastery deep in the snowy mountains.

For 20 years you tried to find peace and harmony amongst your fellow monks, but you are still too haunted by your murderous past to find either. Now after all of these years the corporation is finally closing-in on your location, and in so doing they have given you one last shot at redemption.

Confront your violent past in the story-driven single-player campaign, or test your skills against countless enemies in the horde-like Arena Mode. Take down foes quietly with stealth or beat them down with a variety of fighting moves and weapons, including firearms, explosives, environmental objects, hammers and the raw brute force of your fists.
