The award winning cyberpunk circus showdown returns!
Gangs overrun the neon-clad side streets, the underbelly and outcasts dominate the forgotten ruins of the old district. Chaos reigns in the shadows. A showdown is brewing downtown. An initiate stumbles among a crew of meta-human misfits known as the BARBAROI. Does she have what it takes to be one of them? This is do or die, this is her initiation.
Prepare for a high-octane, acrobatic spectacle that will pull you into a cyberpunk world of wild, daring circus.
