Our take on The Zone
The open-map framing may suggest a broader exploration game, but the stated activity centers on two objectives: killing aliens and disabling electrical installations. The available combat details are also narrow, with three weapons, one grenade, and vodka for healing.
What is The Zone?
Play as Dimitri, who investigates an island where an unsuccessful experiment created an unknown chemical element.
When particles from the element meet electrical waves, portals open and bring creatures from another dimension. The objective is to kill the aliens and disable electrical installations spread across the map. Gameplay combines third-person shooting with strategic choices about the installations and a safe zone that closes during play. The game includes a large open map, online rankings based on alien kills, and achievements. The listed equipment consists of three weapons and one grenade. Vodka can be consumed to heal.
