Game Summary
In the year 2013 almost all of humanity
was wiped out as a result of a devastating war, and Earth's
surface became a nuclear wasteland. The few survivors in Moscow
retreated to the city's subway tunnels. But even underground,
human society continued to develop in predictable ways. Factions
were formed, and stations and entire lines were occupied by
ideologically opposed groups of people. War continued on a much
smaller scale, adding to the difficulty of living under nearly
impossible conditions, fearing the dark subway tunnels which
harbored terrifying creatures.
Artyom was born a few days before the apocalypse, but raised in
the underground. Up until now he had never left the relative
safety of the Exhibition, the northernmost station in the Moscow
metro, where he lived together with his stepfather. However,
everything changes when a soldier called Hunter arrives at the
station, warning its inhabitants about a group of mysterious
creatures known as the Dark Ones. When Artyom realizes that Hunter
will never return from his mission, he decides to travel through
the tunnels to the central Polis station and get help there.
Metro 2033 is a first-person shooter with survival horror
elements, based on the Russian book of the same name by Dmitry
Glukhovsky. Most of the game takes place underground, but several
times Artyom will have to venture outside, into the perpetual
nuclear winter. Game progression is fairly linear, though areas
may be explored more thoroughly for items and ammunition.
Setpieces include a few on-rails sequences, missions that involve
defending a location from an onslaught of monsters, and others. A
few stages can be completed in a stealthy fashion.
Mutants and hostile humans are the enemies of the game; Artyom can
use a variety of weapons to deal with them, including AK-47,
sniper rifle, automatic shotgun, and others. The player can only
carry a sidearm and two primary weapons at the same time. Dynamite
sticks and knives complete the set. All weapons come in different
variations with scopes, silencer and other upgrades attached.
While the upgrades cannot be bought individually, already upgraded
weapons can be purchased at shops in the stations in exchange for
the old weapon and powerful military-grade ammunition, the only
currency in the game. If Artyom is hit, he slowly regenerates his
health automatically; however, medikits are available to instantly
heal him and increase the regeneration rate for a few seconds.
When traveling on the surface or through poisoned areas, Artyom
needs to equip his gas mask in order to survive. The filter of the
gas mask wears down as it is being used (indicated by Artyom's
special watch and his heavier breathing) and can even be damaged
in melee fights, straining the filter even more. Other tools
available to Artyom are a pair of night vision goggles, a
flashlight, a light-meter, a lighter, his journal with a compass,
and a charging device. The latter is required to manually recharge
the flashlight and the night vision goggles once their energy gets
low. The light-meter, on the other hand, helps Artyom to determine
if he is hidden in the shadows, helping him to avoid some dangers.
Other environmental hazards include seeking anomalies and strange,
sometimes deadly visions. These visions play a role in the game's
plot, and also serve as moral judgment of Artyom's behavior, along
with his actions during certain situations involving hostile human
organizations. Depending on these choices, the game will reach one
of the two available endings.
