Take on the role as a liquidator and descend down to an abandoned facility, buried deep below the sewers. You get to fight mutants, bosses, acquire awesome items and ultimately destroy the nuclear core, which is mutating any form of life that is present. You'll come across everything from ravenous toads to armed cyborgs on your way down.(Storyline via IGDB)
