Led by the tough Fidel, the squad faces off against a myriad of opposition, from villagers to well-armed smugglers, in a battle against the oppressive Sovereignty. The real-time exploration across Eastern European landscapes offers a refreshing change of pace from the usual mission-based structure, with diverse environments and objectives to conquer.
When it comes to combat, Chains of Freedom doesn't hold back - cover, flanking, and a granular action point system keep players on their toes, while the intriguing focus aim mechanic adds a thrilling risk versus reward element to the mix. From infected creatures like chasers and mutants to elite foes such as the smuggler phantom, the game throws a variety of enemies your way, each with their own unique challenges. Stealth sections add another layer of complexity, requiring players to navigate past patrolling enemies with finesse and precision.
In the arsenal department, Chains of Freedom doesn't disappoint - from firearms to melee weapons, players have a range of options to choose from, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Skills like overwatch and uppercut offer strategic depth, while bio crystals provide passive bonuses and stat boosts for those looking to fine-tune their character builds. With difficulty options catering to all types of players, from the casual story mode to the hardcore Challenge mode, Chains of Freedom offers a dynamic and engaging experience for strategy fans of all levels.
