Download Today Because It Will Be Gone Tomorrow
A special deal worthy of note, Metro 2033 from video game developer 4A games is free on Steam for the next 24 hours. If you never experienced the classic post-apocalyptic wasteland set in Moscow, there’s never been a better time to start, because there’s no cost.
Note: This is not the remastered version. Metro 2033 represents the earliest of 4A’s forays into first-person shooters. The team took a different route by telling a unique story in a wasteland full of unpredictable creatures that are not zombies. Since Metro Exodus is due to release early next year, making the game free on Steam is a smart marketing move. Once players have their fill of dead Moscow, they might consider moving on to one of the stellar sequels.
You have approximately 24 hours to add Metro 2033 to your library. Download it via the official Steam page here.
Set in the shattered subway of a post apocalyptic Moscow, Metro 2033 is a story of intensive underground survival where the fate of mankind rests in your hands.
In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the earth’s surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age.
The year is 2033. An entire generation has been born and raised underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await outside.
You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised Underground. Having never ventured beyond your Metro Station-City limits, one fateful event sparks a desperate mission to the heart of the Metro system, to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible impending threat. Your journey takes you from the forgotten catacombs beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands above, where your actions will determine the fate of mankind.
