A sultry wizardress... a soaring gunslinger... a powerful swordsman... a dark huntress. Four heroes, about to be hurtled over the edge into a flight into darkness.

And it is all only possible on Xbox. Set in a world ripped apart by deceit, Sudeki sets its heroes on a twisting path of betrayal, gravity-defying combat and unbelievable magic. All they can rely on is themselves. No one is to be trusted. No one is to be spared.
