Postapocalyptic strategy played in real time with elements of cRPG, prepared by our eastern neighbors, Arise programming team. In the future, the development of our great civilisation was effectively halted by the cataclysm that turned the Earth into one great wilderness, and also drastically reduced the population of everything that lived on it, including people. The place of multi-million thriving metropolises has been replaced by small settlements of survivors trying to survive in this situation. The player has the opportunity to direct the fate of one of the inhabitants of such an enclave, unfortunately, as soon as it is razed to the ground by one of the numerous bands that spread around the area. Bred, because that's the man's name, he swears revenge on all bandits. He unites the people he meets and starts a struggle to restore order to the world.

The main cons of the game

  • Lack of Depth: The gameplay is described as simplistic and lacking strategic depth, with no base building or resource management.
  • Poor AI: The artificial intelligence for both enemies and friendly units is criticized as being very poor, leading to awkward and unpredictable unit behavior.
