It is the near future, and the city of Freeport teeters on the verge of total collapse. The twin tides of rampant crime and ruinous graft face only one barrier: the elite strike force HARDCORPS. Led by Colonel John Blade, HARDCORPS is the last force for justice in the darkening city.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was produced by ADV Films during their 'throw money at video game adaptations' era, alongside Tekken and Sonic OVA.
Freeport's design directly rips from the game's Quake II engine aesthetic, making this a fascinating fossil of late-90s PC gaming ambition.
