The story of Metal Max, ultra abridged ed.In the soon to be future, a scientist from the East named Vlad Bias creates his opus. Already world renown for his inventions in AI, robotics and household products (kinda like Elon) Vlad Corp designates to create NOAH. The super computer AI that will fix the biggest problem on earth, humanity and the environment. NOAH concludes its us that must go and not just sends all the birds flying, but releases some weird nanophage on the planet that converts 90% of the environ, flora and fauna into aggressive entities. Over the next 4 games, hilarity with sadness, ensues
