In TRIBE NINE Chapter 2, the main story unfolds in Minato City, once the stronghold of the original anime's protagonists and now a battleground ruled by Dominance—a system where people assert control through status, ability, connections, appearance, and displays of power. In this unforgiving environment, Yo Kuronaka and his companions must confront the formidable #9, the chapter’s primary antagonist, as they fight to survive and resist the oppressive order.
This brutal action RPG follows a group of teens fighting the madness and fighting to reclaim their freedom through intense, strategic battles that allow for diverse character builds and combat maneuvers. Beyond the action, the game tells a story of defiance against an oppressive system, immersing players with the depth and quality of Japanese-style creations. With its blend of humor, brutality, and unforgettable characters, TRIBE NINE offers an engaging and immersive experience—free to play with in-app purchases.
