Murakumo is a futuristic action game starring armored bipedal robots with the ability to fly. Players can freely move their robot around a 3D city called Oliver Port to stop other models (known as A.R.K. or Artificial Reflexive Kineticoids) from harassing the population. It is unknown why the typically stable machines are suddenly malfunctioning, since they were originally designed to help mankind maintain peace throughout the land. Now they are a threat. Could this be part of some diabolical plot to overtake the city?

As part of a special service team financed by the company who designed the robots, players must search the city on foot and in the air until they find their target(s). A number of explosive weapons can be used to neutralize the enemy, but players need to be wary of surrounding buildings and objects. Contact with structures results in damage to the armor, which eventually leads to pieces flying off. The action is divided into a series of missions, where players have the opportunity to select from an assortment of A.R.K. models before attempting to complete their objectives. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
