Designed from the ground up to offer a modern gaming experience, "Back in Action" showcases an updated isometric 3D look and interface, highly detailed character models and a variety of new gameplay features. "Back in Action" takes players to the fictitious country of Arulco, where a ruthless dictator has seized power and only a small group of rebels stand to resist him.
