Based on the rich world created by Todd McFarlane in his best-selling KISS
Psycho Circus comic books, the game is set in a demonic world of mystery and
horror. Players battle hideous freaks-of-nature spawned by the conception of
the Nightmare Child, an evil being whose arrival has perverted the fabric of reality.
Gamers begin as mortals and progressively acquire the powers of The Elder, a
supernatural being with the power and ability to destroy the Nightmare Child and
save the universe from doom. The Elder, embodied by four alter egos, each
based on the KISS characters (the Demon - Gene Simmons, the Starbearer - Paul Stanley, the Beast King - Peter Criss, and the Celestial - Ace Frehley),
together prevent the unraveling of the universe. Each KISS character represents a
different type of game experience, with unique locations, realm bosses, challenges, weapons and powers. Players will blast their way through water, earth, air, fire and nightmare realms by employing a variety of innovative weapons.
