Cut off from the world, trapped in the Zone, attacked by hordes of nightmarish creatures, you must fight to survive and unite the few survivors.
Key Features
- Open World Exploration – Explore the huge and realistic open world of the real Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Chernobyl took over the zone, changing many of its elements, and people are trying to defend themselves against it using prototype technology.
- Character development – Create and develop your hero. Attributes and skills will affect combat effectiveness as well as conversation style. Arrogant muscle man with a big sword trying to scare everyone? Or a smart sniper who always finds the right arguments? The choice is yours.
- Various Battle – Fight for survival with an advanced melee combat system or keep your enemies at bay with a diverse arsenal of firearms. You can also use a stealth approach or ask others for help.
- Team building – Embark on an exciting journey of team building. Each of your companions is a potential teacher ready to pass on their knowledge and skills. Assemble your team and discover the unique strengths and skills they bring. The question is, will you earn their trust and unlock their full potential?
- A ride on a plane – Adapt your set-up and gear to your in-flight situation, allowing you to change things up quickly. You are free to develop multiple character skill sets. Are you facing a situation where the heavy melee you previously prepared would handle better than your current sniper? Use Planewalk and another one.
- Base Development – Develop your base. There you can create precious items and upgrade your weapons every day. Assign your men to tasks and they will deal with your equipment and supplies.
- Fractions – Struggle for influence and negotiate with factions. The Exclusion Zone is a battlefield that changes every day and reacts to your every move. Can you help them defeat an army of vicious monsters? Whose side will you be on when old conflicts resurface?
