SHRIKE: Sixty minutes is all it took for the Ancients to bring humanity to the brink of extinction.

In the hunt for food and fuel, the weak perished, and the strong grew ever more powerful.

Until a new age arose.

The Age of the Great Predator Cities of the West.

• 53:30 — How many shots does that gun have?
