In a world without hope, without law, without mercy, only one thing has a price: resources!
Even after the world gradually turned into a lifeless hot desert, the war did not stop. The ruins of one of the last bastions of a united humanity have now become the battlefield of countless bands of raiders who roam these forgotten lands in search of valuable resources. A cult of rage drives these ruthless warriors of the desert. Their combat vehicles, assembled from parts of military equipment of the past, are decorated with special flags where raiders mark their victories. Rumors of the best warriors spreads quickly, and the hunters themselves often become the prey of those who dream of glory of the chosen one of the sacred rage.

So start your engines and fill up your machine gun belts... oh what a beautiful day... what... Read more
