Creeping through hallways of dilapidated apartment complexes, rifling through bunkers and witnessing walls ripped apart by this green, glowing material… it never got old in the fourteen or so hours I spent in-game. Perhaps the most exciting in all of this is just how aesthetically intriguing the game is made by the damned stuff. ![]() What this material allows for is rifts between worlds, time travel and re-shaping of past decisions. Sporting more than just your typical monsters, created by the nuclear explosion, the land is also plagued by an alien metal called – you guessed it – Chernobylite. Where this game largely differs from its inspiration from other games of similar settings is that it takes a heavier science-fiction tone. They’re all beats we’ve seen before.Ĭhernobylite does pretty well in evoking a sense of post-apocalyptic dread The story boiled down still largely follows a male protagonist on a journey to save the girl. A lot of polish is still needed for the narrative, and I’m not just talking about the typos you’ll often find in dialogue subtitles. In your refuge, you’ll hear your companions wax poetic in ways that feel too tangential or abstract, leaving a vibe of a poor man’s Pathologic. While rifts between worlds gelled with a political conflict have a recipe for a good backdrop, hammy and stereotypical writing holds Chernboylite back. I won’t go into spoilers, but both the story and character writing in the game do disappoint. Your overarching mission becomes clear: survive in this apocalyptic hell by gathering up supplies, accumulating a party of wacky survivors and building towards a final hurrah in the game’s conclusion, hopefully rescuing the girl. Soldiers and scientists alike are invested in the alien material that has grown since the explosion. Haunted by visions of your fiancée, it’s clear she plays some role in the rumblings that are still occurring at the heart of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. There’s a reason for your journeys in this dangerous territory. Set thirty years after the Chernobyl tragedy, players take up the role of scientist Igor Khymynyuk, wandering the radioactive wasteland that is The Exclusion Zone. Like the setting it wears on its sleeve, your time with Chernobylite teeters ever so close to doom and gloom.Īn apocalyptic world, a crumbling nuclear plant and a girl in a red dress game, it’s no mistake the team is aiming for those comparisons.ĭespite some decent attempts, this game makes for a hard sell in an already saturated market.
