About the game
English description: The year is 2033 A.D. The world is after a nuclear war. The planet surface is contaminated with radiation and almost unfit for habitation. The mutants reign supreme on it. Cities lay in ruins; small groups of survivors hide in bomb shelters. The Moscow Metro is the biggest one, the last retreat for human race after the Judgment Day. Metro 2033: Breakthrough, based upon the cult science fiction novel Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky, allows you to descend into the tunnels of Moscow subway as a leader of the underground post-apocalyptic group and lead it to victory! The players complete trade and war quests, repel the mutants' attacks, trade at markets, and join the metro stations under their banners. The player whose faction gains the most influence wins! Russian description: 2033 год. Мир после ядерной войны. Поверхность планеты заражена радиацией и почти непригодна для жизни, на ней безраздельно властвуют мутанты. Крупные города превратились в руины, а горстки выживших прячутся по бомбоубежищам, самое большое из которых — московское метро. Именно оно — последнее пристанище человечества после Судного дня. В этой настольной игре по мотивам культового фантастического романа Дмитрия Глуховского «Метро 2033» вы сможете спуститься в туннели московского метрополитена, возглавить одну из группировок постъядерного подземелья и привести её к победе! Участникам партии предстоит выполнять задания, отбивать атаки мутантов, торговать на рынке и объединять станции метро под своими знамёнами. Игрок, фракция которого добьётся наибольшего влияния, будет объявлен победителем!
