Story
The apocalypse came by our own making, with a single blinding
flash, followed by a firestorm of sheer flame. It took just an
hour and a half to wipe out 3.5 billion people and 10,000 years
of civilization, plunging humanity into a hopeless Dark Age. In
the aftermath, survivors in Moscow moved underground and slowly
organized into small socially and politically independent tribes,
clustered around the city's deep, subway stations. The young man,
Artyom is among them. A member of the first generation of
children raised in the subterranean world following the
apocalypse, he has only the vaguest recollections of life above
ground, and contact with other humans beyond those that inhabit
his local station, "Exhibition," but he will have to face new
experiences with both if humanity is to survive. Mutated beasts
known as "Dark Ones" are spreading throughout the isolated
stations of the Metro, and Artyom has been chosen as the
messenger to spread the news of the new peril.
Become humanity’s last savior and uncover the truth behind the
horrors that await in Moscow’s underground.

. Gameplay
Metro 2033 is a single player, FPS that also incorporates RPG
elements. Action played out in the role of young Artyom, is
mission-based and because the game is based on the Glukhovsky
novel, the storyline veers away from the anti-Russian stance that
is often seen in post-apocalyptic stories and video games. Here
the Russian characters are humanity, and fight every day against
the terrors that nuclear war has wrought. These terrors come
mostly in the form of mutants known as " Novus," who have
invaded the Underground, as well as frightening alien-like
paranormal creatures that haunt the gameworld. The game hero,
Artyom, has a certain to the latter and a talent for
dispatching the former, which together make him a very popular
choice to be sent on missions. Combat throughout utilizes a
mixture of improvised firearms and melee weapons. Balancing the
use of these two is important because in this world of violence
and city, ammunition plays the duel role of protection and
commodity. Throughout the game players will use ammo as much to
purchase items and upgrades at different stations visited, as
they will use it in combat. In addition, the choices made by
players throughout the game register as "Enlightenment Points,"
or the lack of them. Accumulated totals of these register as a
variety of constructs such as curiosity, kindness and prejudice
resistance that can and will lead to alternative story endings.
Together with its unique inventory management system, engrossing
storyline and replay value based on morality, Metro 2033 is sure
to be a game not to be missed by FPS and RPG players alike.
