In an unspecified dystopia, a tyrant rules with an iron fist. To maintain control over the people, he employs 'Dasdaran', dangerous, scythe-wielding warriors who obey his orders without question or qualm. But at last the day has come where a hero will rise from the masses to challenge the Dasdaran and free his people from subjugation and slavery. The only problem is that this hero is completely incompetent.
