Metro 2033

Metro 2033 is a first-person shooter set in the shattered subway and poisoned surface of post-apocalyptic Moscow. You play as Artyom, born shortly before the catastrophe and raised underground. After a fateful event, he must travel to the heart of the Metro system to warn humanity's survivors of an approaching threat; what happens on the journey will determine mankind's fate.

The underground world

In 2013, an apocalyptic event killed almost all of humanity and made the Earth's surface a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the Moscow underground, where civilization entered a new Dark Age. By 2033, a generation has grown up in the Metro's besieged station-cities, struggling to survive alongside one another and against the mutant horrors outside.

Your journey leads through forgotten subway catacombs, where mutants hunt and ghostly spirits lurk. The tunnels are filled with the everyday horrors of a broken society living in constant fear.

The poisoned surface

Above ground, you explore the desolate city and rely on your gas mask and rifle for protection from the poisoned world and its creatures. You must also face the terrors waiting along the way.
