Im Lande der Urukai
In the neon‑lit ruins of the corporate monolith "Das Böse Heiligtum," heroes must brave twenty‑plus labyrinthine factories where magical overgrowth hides a deadly outbreak of Compound V‑spawned zombie‑like monsters, each hall a twisted blend of industrial steel and wild, sentient flora. As they uncover the sinister secret behind the vanished workforce, they face escalating horrors—from relentless generic foes to mythic bosses like Homelander and Vlad the Impaler—culminating in an epic showdown that could decide the fate of a world teetering between high‑tech tyranny and arcane apocalypse.
