Furthermore, not all robots were destroyed – without the leadership of a powerful AI, they returned to their basic functions and focus only on maintaining their condition. At the same time the side effects of the previously used weapon of mass destruction become more perceptible and various mutations become a real problem for the survivors. They fight each other for the remaining resources and goods. Countless small factions were created in place of fallen governments. The game takes place on the territories of the devastated Europe.
