GAMEPLAY INFO

Special Moves:

* Shield Bash: General Star lunges forward, smashing his shield into his foe's jaw, sending them stumbling backwards.

* Colt 1911: Withdrawing the titular firearm, he fires off a shot from his gun at the opponent

* Roundhouse Kick: General Star spins around, foot connecting with the opponent's jaw.

* Justice Punch: General Star jumps into the air towards his opponent, then throws his fist out, connecting with his foe's jaw.

Awakening:

Eagle's Fury: For 10 seconds, his chest glows with the symbol of a bald eagle, making him more agile to incoming attacks, as well as boosting his strength.

Cruel Acts:

* Shield Guillotine: General Star throws his shield, letting it bounce on the walls of the arena as he grabs his opponent's arm as they try to attack him, then he snaps their arm, making them scream in pain before he throws them to the ground, leaping into the air and grabbing his shield before going downwards, the rim of the shield colliding with their neck and cutting their head off.

* Star Throw: General Star hurls a shuriken into his foe's eye, the blade going into their brain and dropping them to their knees.

Divine Intervention

Eagle's Demise: A defeated General Star drops to his knees as his opponent leaves, Necrom teleporting to his location. Then, all of a sudden, Necrom snaps his fingers, a group of eagles descending upon the general. The massive number of them crowds him out as all we hear is their screaching and the general's yells of pain. After 5 seconds, the eagles go away, leaving a half eaten corpse of what used to be General Star as it falls over.

MISC:

* Voice Actor: Fred Tasticore

* Intro Sequence: General Star drops in, fist planted and feet spread out before rising and, as he draws his shield, remarks "By the end of this, you'll be seeing stars!" as he then drops into a combat position.

* Stage: Times Square (BGM: "War" by Edwin Starr)

STORY MODE

Intro Cutscene:

(Scene takes place somewhere in the past, around the 1960's, as we see a brown haired Peter Graham, wearing a typical military outfit alongside with his fellow Americans.)

Peter (v/o): "America, Land of the Free. I fought with all of my blood, sweat and tears to protect it."

(Peter and his fellow soldiers are fighting against Russian soldiers in the jungles of Vietnam.)

Peter (v/o): "My name is Peter Graham, one of the most decorated soldiers in the United States."

(The war's segment lasted for twenty seconds as both soldiers are shooting with their guns, leading to many casualties, but Peter is determined to survive.)

Peter (v/o): "I was once a regular General who fought in countless wars before changing me into the greatest superhero of all time..."

(Later, we see Peter wearing an old-school grey and white outfit that resembles WWII-era Captain America, complete with an eagle-themed shield, and adopts the codename of General Star.)

Peter (v/o): "General Star!"

(Years later, we see General Star saving citizens from a burning building in New York with all his wit.)

Peter (v/o): "At the time, I saved many lives... and fought against many villains, some of them eve"

(We cut to General Star fighting against a Brainiac-esque supervillain with the power of Technokinesis in a typical evil lair.)

Supervillain: "I admire your bravery, General Star, but today is not your luckiest day."

General Star: "Not in your dreams!"

(Both General Star and the supervillain fight each other for twenty seconds with their respective fighting attacks, until Star smashes said villain with his shield, knocking him out.)

Peter (v/o): "However, those days are gone."

(We cut to the present time as we see an old Peter Graham, wearing his glasses, looking at the images of his past as General Star, younger him smiling with a rifle in hand, accompanied by a squad of other men.)

Peter (v/o): "I'm now retired as a normal citizen, and somehow I feel empty."

(We hear the door knocking as he hears it.)

Peter: "Who's there?"

????: "Is Peter Graham here?"

Peter: \*sighs\* "I'm coming."

(Peter opens the door of his house and sees a black haired man wearing a suit.)

Mysterious Person: "I heard you're the legendary General Star, right?"

Peter: "I was, but I'm officially retired."

Mysterious Person: "I understand your situation, however I got a surprise for you."

Peter: "What is it?"

Mysterious Person: "Someone is organizing a fighting tournament called God's Game, where the best of the best are competing. Do you want to relive your glory days?"

Peter: \*thinking\* "Yeah, what the hell."

Mysterious Person: \*gives an invitation to Peter\* "Take this with you. The world needs General Star again."

Peter: "Thanks for the offer."

(The mysterious man leaves the house. Later, we see Peter wearing an updated version of his General Star [shown in his HeroMachine image above] and then leaves his house. The last scene shows General Star walking down the street, the background with a waving flag of the USA.)

General Star (v/o): "American citizens, don't fear, because General Star is back."

Rival Cutscene

(Scene takes place in the Tournament Arena, where the mysterious man announces the competitors.)

Mysterious Person: "And now for the final round of the God's Game! In one corner, we have General Star, the All American Soldier, and in the other, we have Thunder's Fury, the Electric Speedster!"

(The two fighters take their places, Thunder's Fury grinning as he jumps a bit around, General Star with a more stone faced expression.)

Thunder's Fury: "Heard all about ya, sir. Let's see if old age hasn't slowed you down at all."

General Star: "Watch it, kid. This old man can still pace with the best of them." \*readies himself\*

Thunder's Fury: "Let's put that to the test!" \*electrifies himself\*

General Star: \*smiles\* "Good kid..."

(General Star drops into a combat stance.)

Mysterious Person: Now fighters...PROVE YOUR WORTH!

Final Boss Cutscene

(Thunder's Fury is grounded as General Star backhands him with the shield, then drops and levels the shield with his opponent's neck. Then, as everyone looks on, the old general smiles, withdrawing the shield and offers a hand up, which the younger hero accepts with dignity)

Thunder's Fury: "Thanks."

General Star: "You've got a lot to learn, kid. But you're not off to such a bad start."

(The two heroes share one last smile as the defeated Fury leaves the arena. Then, the portal opens, transporting the old superhero to the mystery man's spot. Then the mystery man drops the disguise, revealing himself as Necrom, the purple skinned God of Mischief.)

General Star: "So, you finally give up the charade."

Necrom: "If I came to you as this, would you have trusted me?"

General Star: "Fair enough, now who are you?"

Necrom: "I am Necrom. God of Mischief, and organizer of this tournament. And I must say, your life fascinates me, Peter. One of the most decorated soldiers, and a Marine to boot. Went on to becoming the hero of America like Captain America. And now...you're an old man, forced to sit at home and ruminate over your glory days.  And I must say...that's not the end a man like you should deserve."

General Star: "Get to your point."

Necrom: \*creates a potion in the air\* "If you'd like, I can give you this. This is what you humans would call The Fountain Of Youth. Take this, and you'll revert to your prime. You'll be able to fight the good fight for years and never slow down. All I ask...is that you don't interfere in my affairs on Earth. I leave you alone, you leave me alone, we're all happy."

(For a moment, Star looks tempted to take it...then instead, he hurls the shield at the bottle, shattering it)

General Star:  "No. I won't take it. Because there comes a time for us all. My time has come, I need to let others like Thunder's Fury and Barbara to take over!"

(The old general drops into a combat stance, readying for a combat as the shield returns to him. Necrom, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, calls his red blade to him, a dark aura surrounding him.)

Necrom: "So be it. But this time, the hero will NOT be victorious!"

Ending Cutscene

(General Star and Necrom trade blows, shield clashing off sword for 6 seconds, before General Star gets the upper hand, uppercutting the God with his shield and sending him to the floor. Necrom pushes himself up and looks up at General Star.)

Necrom: "This will never be over, Peter...Thi-"

General Star: "You talk too much."

(The old man suddenly breaks the god's neck, then gets up and takes a few deep breaths as he lets the corpse fall over. Later, we see General Star standing up in the podium, addressing to the audience.)

General Star: "Citizens, the menace known as Necrom is dead!"

(The audience cheers.)

General Star: "However, the time has come for me. Sooner or later, the next generation of heroes will need to take over, and that time is now. Without further ado, please welcome Thunder's Fury and Barbara Blaze!"

(Thunder's Fury and Barbara Blaze arrive to the podium, much to the rejoicing of the audience. The two smile at the old hero, as General Star shakes the hand of Barbara and then turns to Thunder's Fury as the young man begins to speak.)

Thunder's Fury: "The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name of General Star is the hope he brings to us. He was a legend in every sense of word, and now, I'm holding his torch to continue his legacy."

(The audience claps to Fury's speech. Barbara is now next to speak.)

Barbara: "He's a role model for the citizens thanks to his good sense of justice. I read everything of him when I was a child in school. Now, I will do the best possible to bring peace and harmony, not only to America, but also to the rest of the world."

(The crowds cheer once more, as the two younger heroes lift the old man's arms, then he breaks off and bows. Later, as Peter, now dressed in a brown leather jacket, jeans, and a grey shirt, is walking home, a younger man, this one around age of 18 or 19 and voiced by Jason David Frank, walks to the former hero.)

???: "So it's over, hanging up the shield?"

Peter: "Yes, Oliver. I am."

(Oliver smiles sadly, then grasps Peter in a big hug, surprsingly, as Peter then hugs Oliver as well.)

Oliver: "Don't worry, gramps. The city'll go on without you."

Peter: "Heh. I know it will, kid. Now, go on, 'Justice Bringer', you got a city to protect!"

(Oliver nods, then races off, Peter walking into his home with a proud look on his face. Then the screen cuts to Oliver grinning as he produces a device on his wrist,hitting a button)

Oliver: "Bring the Justice!"

(The last scene shows Oliver transforming into a Spandex version of his grandfather's suit, but adorned this time with some armor on it, complete with a Power Ranger-esque helmet, covering his entire face. After that, the screen turns black. "Live to Rise" by Soundgarden starts playing as the God's Game logo pops up for ten seconds and then the credits roll.)
