[edit] Plot

Kid Icarus: Uprising is a direct sequel to Kid Icarus, and takes place twenty five years after the original game. Medusa is revived and she tries to eradicate the mortals while seeking revenge for what Pit and Palutena did.

The overall story is split into two major arcs. In the beginning, upon hearing about Medusa's revival, Palutena sends Pit to stop Medusa and her Underworld Army, and restore peace to Angel Land. During the latter portion of the story, Pit will encounter new characters and enemies in his journey. Pit and Palutena must deal with the bigger threats of Viridi and her Forces of Nature, as well as Hades, God of the Underworld and the true antagonist of the game.

[edit] Gameplay Modes

[edit] Story Mode (Single Player)

The Story Mode is divided into 25 Chapters that each represent a stage. Each Chapter is divided between an Air Battle, Land Battle, and Boss Battle. After clearing the Story Mode, you'll unlock a bonus Chapter which is the Boss Battle Mode. The Chapters are as follows:

[edit] Boss Battle Mode

Boss Battle Mode is a solo player, survival mode that puts Pit against all of the bosses he usually faces at the end of the Chapter. Pit has to defeat all of the bosses with limited health recovery. After defeating each boss, you will always return to the lobby, with the opportunity to heal yourself using the Drink of the Gods item, but you are limited with only five of them. With 20+ boss battles to complete, you have to be careful not to take too much damage in a fight, for if you run out of the Drink of the Gods item early, there's no possible way to recover health during the remaining fights.

[edit] Together Mode (Multiplayer)

Together Mode consists of two modes: Light vs Dark and Free For All. The players in this multiplayer mode are generic designed fighters. You're able to alter many settings in Options such as Handicap, Time Limits, and Item Frequency.

[edit] Light vs Dark

Light vs Dark is a battle between the light and dark team. Each team has to drain their opponent's team health bar by defeating the players. The player defeated that causes the team health bar to fully deplete, will become an angel, and the first team to defeat the opponent's team angel, will win the match.

[edit] Free-For-All

Free-For-All is a 6 way deathmatch with the goal of obtaining the most kills within the time limit.
