It is a SpiritualSuccessor of ''VideoGame/XBlades'', a previous Action Adventure Hack and Slash game developed by Gaijin Entertainment that also starred a sword wielding ActionGirl names Ayumi.
A [[DualWielding dual sword-wielding]] treasure hunter named Ayumi finds herself stuck on a mysterious and dangerous island. While rich with bounty, the island is also caught in the throes of Chaos magic. Ayumi soon discovers that it is also the home of thousands of long-held secrets, including special powers and abilities that she can gain for herself. Using everything she can, she must find a way to defeat armies of menacing villains and a multitude of treacherous traps in order to break free of the possessed island's grasp.
