A year later NATO takes over a former Russian secret base built on Polish soil. Diggers discover a laboratory complex in the completely demolished town. After examining the wreckage, NATO decides to leave the lab as it is. But shortly afterwards the town's previously deserted streets are suddenly teeming with hordes of grotesquely deformed creatures. Word soon gets out to the media, making it impossible for NATO to simply destroy the site. So troops are ordered to hermetically seal the area. Nobody is allowed in or out.

Only two major Fights left until I reach the last Boss. It was the perfect Surprise for Halloween, until now i fought my way through endless waves of enter image description here Cutter Mutants enter image description here Juggernaut Mutants Rocket Mutants, Exploding Mutants, Bloodsucking Mutants, Stealth Mutants, AND OF COURSE enter image description here Cowboy Mutants! Beside that Russians and the Nato want you dead AND beside that you never have more than six bullets for your guns so you use your oldy rusty Axe on Level 10 to cut through them all, just to find out that nobody is alive, beside some journalist-chick, that has no useful information at all for you, so you go back to your good old axe. God this game made me Insane but it was worth my hole sanity.

Got it on Halloween-Sale on GOG. Its bad, great, casual and patrician at the same time. It makes so many things right and so many things are badly underdeveloped.
