Rico finds himself in a situation that he has been in before, leading a rebellion in a small country called Solis. This time, the villain is Oscar Espinosa who leads the Black Hand, an evil organisation that has created Project Illapa, a device that can control the weather. After failing to take down the device in the very beginning of the game, Rico now has to build a resistance and take down the bad guys, one region at a time. Of course, everything owned by the Black Hand is marked with a distinctive red colour to make it easy for you to identify and take down.
