H.E.N.T.A.L.K.E.R.

H.E.N.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a game set in the radioactive wastelands around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. You play as a girl who fights mutants, mad scientists and anyone else who stands in her way, while searching for artifacts and trying to survive.

The zone

The zone is dangerous, with traps and mutants that threaten anyone who cannot move fast enough. Its inhabitants are focused on survival, and radiation is described as the least of your problems. The setting is based on the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant zone, which the creators say they visited and documented.

Fight to survive

You use weapons against mutants, mad scientists and other threats. The game has an arsenal of three weapon types, though how to select them is unclear. You can move left, right or straight through the wasteland, and the plot is non-linear.

Tone and atmosphere

The game presents a post-apocalyptic setting with jokes and humor. It also features detailed graphics.
