The whole personel is slaughtered, city surroundings are captured. Mysterious and mad man called Tsantsa is behind all these events. Special Ops were sent immediately into the city, their task is to clear the city itself and prison blocks from crazy inmates. City streets are full of lunatics and thugs, what means that you should grab guns and start a Slaughter! You can bulldoze in, destroying everything that moves, like a true soldier. But you can also search for secret intel and records, to put together pieces of a gruesome story that took place in Burdeck's Prison."

Due to excellent shooting system you can feel power of each and every gun from which you will fire, and deeply elaborated damage system make every kill unique and exciting.
