About A.N.R.S - Heroes Assemble
Story
In C.A. 20—the year known as the Crux Age—, the invasion of lifeforms from the other dimension, the rampage of giant monsters, the mutation of Spirit Stones, and the sinister schemes of evil organizations plunged the world into an unprecedented crisis. Cities crumbled, nations fell, and civilization stood on the brink of collapse.
Yet, in the darkest hour, new guardians began to awaken. Guided by fate—DEUS—they assembled to ignite the final light of hope and fight back against the end.
"Ignite it—the flame that leads to the future!"
