Fans of the gaming world will love the series with stand alone episodes focusing on specific video games with distinct, engaging storylines ranging from sci-fi to fantasy to resurrection. With intense action and battle sequences, distinctive animation, artistic designs, and stunning visuals, the series tells a continuation of stories that fans will love but also takes liberties to tell a different narrative that is both different and unique, which avid gamers will appreciate as well as piquing the interest of non gamers. While every episode brings something different, episodes such as Warhammer 40,000, Unreal Tournament, Pac-Man, and Armored Core are instant classics.

The series is a heartfelt love letter to the gaming universe that fans will acknowledge, inspired by the source material.
