Synopsis:

SUDA51 (No More Heroes, Killer 7) returns with a unique game - presented in a comic-book style, cell-shaded format - Mondo Zappa is a newly-minted "executioner" in an ultra-violent cyberpunk world. Utilizing his Samurai sword and bionic arm, he hunts down criminals - easier said than done as many of his enemies share enhancements of their own. Side-missions and unlockables provide hours of bonus content as well. This exclusive mode contains a new "Nightmare" difficulty for players who really want to test their skills as well as a Theater Mode to watch all unlocked cutscenes and view character information (available after first playthrough).
