Closers

Story

The action is set in the not too distant future, when the Earth is invaded by dangerous monsters swarming through dimensional portals. At first humanity was helpless, as conventional methods were not sufficient enough to defeat the creatures. However, the advent of dimensional portals gave some people supernatural psychokinetic powers, with which they are able to close the dimensional gates and fight the invaders. In the end, humanity succeeded in defeating the monsters and started to rebuild the damaged cities. The actions starts when dimensional portals start to appear once again and monsters going through them are more numerous and stronger than before. You take control of a group of students from Seoul, who make up a local Closers squad. Their objective is to defeat the invaders.

Yi Suiel-bi is a girl of a Caster class, her physical weakness and small damage resistance is made up by a huge set of distance supernatural attacks.

Carrying no weapons, he concentrates on hand-to-hand combats and psychokinetic skills. The game offers a variety of levels intended for PvE that aim at resembling areas around Seoul. They are, however, modified so as to fit the designers’ vision of the future.
