Content

Story

Mankind went into space, began to explore other planets and transferred its armed conflicts to other star systems. People have accumulated a huge amount of weapons in preparation for a large-scale interstellar war, and this is what saved humanity when a new deadly enemy appeared from the depths of the universe.

Huge automatic ships with artificial intelligence and inhuman logic - a legacy of the space war that ended a millennium ago between the long-vanished races. Their only goal is to kill all living things, and their logic is random and unpredictable. People called these killer cars Berserkers. Now either humans will destroy the space killers, or the berserkers will destroy the human race. There is no third.
