Barkley Gaiden 2: The Son Of Dark Draker - Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Gaiden Episode 1

About

Barkley Gaiden 2 is a fan-made RPG that turns basketball into a post-apocalyptic survival tool. You lead a ragtag team of athletes in a world where the sport’s violent legacy has poisoned the planet. Gameplay blends resource management with回合制 battles, where each move feels like a crossover between sports strategy and fantasy combat. The story tasks you with navigating crumbling cities and radiation-scorched fields to reclaim dominance in a game that literally broke the world. The title leans into its absurd premise with glee, merging dystopian sci-fi with court-side chaos. While not officially licensed, its cult following praises the over-the-top humor and creative worldbuilding. Developer Turnicate built this as a direct follow-up to their earlier Gaiden project, and the sequel’s expanded systems earned it a 7.2/10 on niche community rankings. It’s a niche pick for RPG fans who enjoy satirical takes on末世 survival.

Storyline

In 2041, the First Dunk showed mankind the true destructive power of basketball. The Great B-Ball Purge began the next day. In 2053, the Second and Third Dunks devastated Earth's ecosystem, killing billions and wrapping the planet in the venomous shroud of Necron. The Year is 2065. The B-Blight now covers 70% of all arable land. The strong squabble over what few resources remain, while the weak are pushed into barely habitable 'orange zones'. No place on Earth is free of Basketball Radiation. Only a single human can sleep easy, lightyears away, aboard the space ziggurat Tír na nÓg.
