Gameplay
Metro
Exodus is a first-person shooter game with survival horror and stealth
elements. Set in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the former Russian
Federation, the player must cope with the new hazards and engage in combat
against mutated creatures as well as hostile humans. The player wields an
arsenal of hand-made weaponry which can be customized through scavenging
materials and a crafting system. The game features a mixture of linear levels
and sandbox environments. It also includes a dynamic weather system, a
day-night cycle, and environments that change along with the seasons as the
story progresses. It is set over the course of one whole in-game year.
Setting
Metro
Exodus is set after the events of Metro: Last Light, on a post-apocalyptic
Earth that has been devastated by a nuclear war. The game continues the story
from Metro: Last Light's "Redemption" ending. Similar to the previous
two entries, the player assumes the role of Artyom, who flees the Moscow Metro
and sets off on a continent-spanning journey with his allies to the far east,
on a locomotive called the "Aurora". The story takes place over the
course of one year, starting with a harsh nuclear winter in the Metro. Another
major character, returning from the previous game and the book Metro 2035, is
Anna - who is now Artyom's wife. Miller, Anna's father and leader of the
Spartan Order, also returns from previous games and novels.
