Synopsis
Post-apocalyptic treasure hunter Riot seeks Rido, a life-restoring energy source, while battling evil Demsters.
In a post-apocalyptic world, the treasure hunter Riot and his pretty sidekicks are searching for Eyes of Zalem, which they hope will guide them to Rido, the treasure of a long-lost Quall civilization. A limitless energy source, the Rido has the power to even restore life; but unfortunately for Riot, the evil Demsters are after it too. (from ANN)
