This game's supposed to go on sale next week
Quick translation from the game's site...
Synopsis
The world's environment was being polluted and destroyed. As part of the endangered species, humans decided to create a master computer named "Noah" to help resolve this problem. As a result of Noah's computations, it decided the best way to save the environment was to eliminate humans. Using the world of networked computers to its advantage, it launched missiles at the unknowing humans and a war began. Noah continued creating new weapons, merging machinery with various living things to create monsters. Before long, humans were at the edge of destruction.
Not all was lost however, as humans made use of their war machines created with Over Technology. Working together to destroy monsters and earning cash from doing so, these people earned the name "Hunters". As the number of Hunters grew, soon a Hunter Force was formed around the world. Later, rumour had it that one Hunter had defeated Noah.
Thought to be completely destroyed, Noah's core still remains. The "Noah Seed", made of an indestructible metal, was all that was needed to recreate Noah's AI program...
