10 years ago... A mysterious burst in the sky gave ordinary men and women remarkable powers. They are called Epics. But, each Epic turned out to be evil. Today, in the city once known as Chicago (now Newcago), an all-powerful Epic named Steelheart rules supreme!

Nobody fights him... nobody but the Reckoners! This is where you help. You are a member of the Reckoners, a skilled group of normal humans who eliminate Epics. Your mission is straightforward, but not easy. Demolish Steelheart and his Epics and save the city.
