Escape From Tarkov

Escape From Tarkov is an online RPG game designed for multiplayer. This project was released by Battlestate Games in 2017. The game is distinguished by its mixed style - it is simultaneously a horror, combat simulator, role-playing game and a multiplayer shooter with hardcore elements.

Atmospheric visual

With its atmosphere, Escape From Tarkov resembles the Stalker series, beloved by gamers. Despite the fact that there was no catastrophe in the city, due to the battle of groups and the cordoning off of the settlement, the surroundings here are depressing.

Most of the game will have to be played in semi-darkness or dim lighting. However, the developers did not try to hide graphics flaws in the shadows - all weak aspects are clearly visible in the illuminated areas of the map. For Tarkov, darkness is just another way to immerse the player in the atmosphere of the world.

Escape From Tarkov Gameplay

Escape From Tarkov is a survival shooter with no right or wrong. You don't need to be a hero, the chosen one, or the main saint here. The main goal is to survive and get out of the city, and how the player will do it, the developers do not care.

The game puts a lot of emphasis on realism. Shooting - according to all the rules of mechanics and ballistics. The world around us is destructible. The character feels thirsty, hungry, tired. He can also die not only from the total damage, but also from fractures, concussions or blood loss. Death is followed by a complete loss of the collected inventory, even the selected weapon. The player has his own safe container, from where items do not disappear, but its volume is limited, so it will not be possible to collect all the treasures of the world there.

At the very beginning, you can choose your character and faction. Available for selection are "corporations" and "hired by the state." This choice does not have a serious impact on the plot, but opens the story from different angles.

Since the game is multiplayer, it has the ability to create clans and groups. This helps to go through difficult parts of the map, fight raiders and together experience the difficulties of Tarkov.

Escape From Tarkov Story

Although Escape From Tarkov is an online game, it has its own storyline. There is no coherent narrative here, but the inner story allows for maximum immersion.

The events of the project take place in Tarkov - a fictional Russian city. After Russia and the European Union entered into an armed conflict, this settlement became a zone of exclusion and a place of hostilities at the same time. The city is ruled by mercenaries and private military companies. The main character must get out of the city to stay alive. But the whole world around him will prevent him from achieving his goal.

Who are we playing for

In Escape From Tarkov, there are several different factions that "hold" the city. Some of them can be cooperated with, and some are found only as opponents:

• USEC - mercenaries who are engaged in the protection of the enterprises of their employer-corporation.
• BEAR - security forces who are not part of the state army, but were hired by the government.
• Wild - residents of Tarkov who became victims of the current situation.
• Wild Raiders - people who became bandits due to the Tarkov overlap.
• Merchants - residents who have some material goods or connections. You can contact them for trade or during quests.

Unusual solutions

Escape From Tarkov will appeal not only for its atmosphere, but also for interesting features that make the gameplay even more fun:

• Combat and survival are tightly linked. Finding the necessary weapons and ammunition is difficult, medicine is even more difficult. Because of this, from the first minutes of the game, you have to behave thoughtfully, evaluate resources and capabilities.
• You have to be on the lookout at all times. In order not to run into a robber, the game makes it possible to interact with the world in different ways. For example, you can not only open a door, but also kick it out or throw a grenade into the slot.
• The weather and time of day change in the game. Because of this, the character's abilities, shot ballistics and much more change.
• There is a safe place in the game - a cache. Nobody can kill a character there, things don't disappear from there. Also here the player can study the map and quests.
• Real weapons have been recreated for the players. Their ballistic characteristics also completely repeat their prototypes existing in our world. Weapons can be modified and improved, but only within the framework provided by the creators. It will not be possible to hang all the body kits on the barrel at the same time.

Escape From Tarkov will be liked primarily by those who love hardcore shooters. There is a bit of everything here: role-playing, plot, quests, beautiful shooting, and even survival. You will definitely not be bored here, and the passage cannot be called easy.
