Story

The year is 2612. The International Federation of States (the governing body of Earth) decided to exile the worst of the planet's criminals to a small meteor loosely orbiting the planet, called IS-326, nick-named "THE HELL". On the asteroid there are no walls or jails. Unchained Prisoners have been left alone to follow their own destiny. Survival is the only universal law. Life on "THE HELL" spawns a violent sport without any rules called "RAGEBALL" and played on hostile fields with an iron skull for a ball.

Anyone on IS-326 is eligible to play Rageball. The only aim is to put food in your belly and clothes on your back, and if you are lucky, to struggle towards a better life. In time, the World TV Networks decided to follow this strange new sport, pulling in massive audiences for each match. The media frenzy kick-starts a network of illegal betting and rigged matches.

However, in a world without rules, what can truly be called legal? Everyone has a price... as the manager of your own RAGEBALL team, how much are YOU worth?
