In a world left in ruins by a catastrophic nuclear war, a powerful World Empire has risen to dominate what remains of civilization. Citizens live under suffocating control, stripped of their freedoms, and the possession of any weaponry is strictly outlawed. Yet beneath the Empire's iron grip, a small resistance group refuses to surrender their fight for liberation. Their unlikely arsenal? Antique firearms preserved as decorative relics—weapons that, as if awakened by the team's unwavering resolve, manifest as humanoid warriors known as "Musketeers." Among them are Brown Bess, Springfield, Kentucky, and Charleville, each embodying the spirit of their respective guns. Standing against the Empire's own incarnated modern weapons, these Musketeers can unleash a powerful transformation called "Absolute Noble" mode to face overwhelming odds. Set against a backdrop of oppression and rebellion, this is the story of ancient souls rising to challenge a future ruled by fear.
