Product Description
-------------------
Long ago, when the seed of mankind was first taking root, God
laid down his plans for the human race. He appointed the Grigori,
the most human of all angels in heaven, to watch over them from
the celestial realm. The Grigori, known to some as the "The
Watchers", dutifully continued their vigilance through the ages.
Over time, they became fascinated by the lives humans led, with
the uninhibited freedom and passions. Subtle at first, the
fascination soon led to feeling of longing, desire and lust.
Until one eful day, the Grigori turned away from God and
descended to Earth. When Heaven's highest order, the Council of
Elders, discovered the Grigori's betrayal, they were furious.
Their anger only grew stronger when they learned that the Fallen
Angels had taken in daughters of men, deviating mankind from
God's great plan. To set matters right, the Council decided to
send a terrible flood to wipe out the entire human race. However,
there was one man who objected to the Council's decision. His
name was Enoch, a scribe whose righteousness moved God to bring
him to Heaven while still living mortal. The Council heard
Enoch's pleas and agreed to spare mankind on the condition that
Enoch capture the fallen angels and bring them back to Heaven to
be imprisoned. To prevent the impending flood, Enoch returned to
Earth on a mission to escort the Fallen Angels back to Heaven.
Upon his arrival he confronted Azazel, one of the seven who fell.
However, Azazel refused to return to Heaven and went into hiding
along with the others, warning Enoch not to follow. And so,
Enoch's long journey begins.

player action-adventure game in which players must subdue rogue
angels, loose on the Earth in order to uphold God's divine plan
and prevent the destruction of humanity. Loosely based on the

patriarch Enoch and his role in some traditions as Metatron --
the angelic intermediary between God and his people -- El
Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron features a compelling
storyline; a distinct visual experience; combat, platforming and
exploration gameplay; unique weapons and feedback systems; and
controls that are designed to suit all levels of players.
