Gorky 17 is a classic role-playing adventure with turn-based strategic battles. The project, released a year before the transition to the 21st century, uses three-dimensional pixel graphics with an isometric camera. This view of the events allows you to better see what is happening around and navigate in space more easily. The game's actions describe an alternative development of history, in which Russian military forces destroy Gorky 17 - a secret city built in the Soviet Union. This happens in 2008. The science fiction storyline will captivate the gamer with well-developed dialogues, a huge number of characters with their own personalities, and constant changes in the environment in which the characters live.The single-player campaign will tell about the confrontation between NATO and Russian troops. After the destruction of Gorky 17, a Russian base in Poland was opened, which stored a lot of important data about underground experiments conducted on the territory of the then USSR. Traces of mutated creatures, vaguely resembling humans, are found in an underground laboratory complex. NATO troops are ordered to build a kind of sarcophagus to close this discovery from the rest of the world to avoid media hype and possible tragic consequences. Only three of the most experienced warriors are allowed inside for a reconnaissance operation. The operation is led by a Canadian named Cole Sullivan.In addition to combat scenes, the gameplay consists of many dialogues in which the gamer takes part by choosing lines that influence further events. Battles are based on tactics, because any resistance can be overcome with a properly developed strategy. Each character under the player's control is subject to pumping in order to destroy stronger monsters in the future.
