When we say that '83 is a spiritual successor to the Rising Storm series, it's not only the accessible realism approach that makes '83 worth that title. Members of our team have worked on all previous Rising Storm titles, and also on the Red Orchestra franchise. Some of us have been in the biz of developing accessible realism games for the past 15 years.
It's just what we do best.
Games in the tactical/mil-sim shooter genre are usually a huge time sink. Everybody loves Tarkov and Arma but... not everyone can game 100 hours a week, or afford to prep for a match for XYZ minutes - only to die instantly!
'83 is mindful of your time. It skips the dull parts commonly present in realistic games, takes you to action fast, but does not neglect the lethality of war.
You can absolutely still die fast, but should that happen, you're back in business within a minute or two. You might want to avoid the dying though, your squad needs you and every death matters, as the matches are only 30-40 minutes long!
The tactical aspect of '83 lies in the objective focused flow of every match that simply requires teamwork to win. Clutch situations when capturing key objectives on the map can be solved with smart flanks, diversions, or well-timed fire missions, all coordinated across multiple squads within a team.
As with any tactical shooter, the selection of gear matters and can make a difference in '83. However, the point is not to experience gear fear. You can customize your loadout, but there are predefined classes (including a team commander!) that set some boundaries in order to strike a balance across factions.
There is a large selection of weapons and other gadgets, each meticulously designed and animated according to their real life counterpart. Also, the weapons behave in a realistic way: the barrels and suppressors overheat when rapid firing, machineguns are better deployed on a stable surface, and bullets don't magically teleport in between magazines when you reload a half-empty one.
Sounds like a game you want to play? Great!
Please add '83 to your Steam wishlist, and let's stay in touch!

I have played RO2, RS, & RS2 all are excellent shooters. This game is no exception. The combat is extremely fun and the assets are fantastic. The only issue with this game is the player count. BLUE DOT GAMES, MARKET YOUR GAME. PEOPLE WILL BUY THIS GAME AND PLAY IT
Редкостная ерунда с онлайном 15 человек
completely dead on arrival unfortunatley
I'm going to say it simply. Don't buy until you hear it's got its players back and is in a stable condition. It had potential so just add it to you follow list and come back later. It's an empty game as of this review so it's completely unplayable in that regards. Side note a review by North_Dumpling made a claim he worked on the dev team and there was some shady business. They gave zero proof of this. He had made a claim and blocked me for asking for more proof then a "trust me bro". Making it impossible to comment further on his review. His response to me asking for proof was "Those who know me, know its true. Got nothing to prove to you." This is fundamentally wrong. Making a potentially slanderous claim and saying you don't have to back it with any poof should be grounds to remove the review. Also yes 100% I am so petty as to make a actual review just to have a side note to call them out. I don't care lol
As a big fan of RS2 I can't wait for servers to fill up in 83. Hopefully some youtubers will help promote it soon or the studio invests in some marketing campaign when they are fully finished with the game.
Ну вот и настал черёд мой оставить комментарий по этой игре)) скажу сразу игра понравилась. Я изначально участвовал в бета тесте, и она у меня фризила ужасно. К моему удивлению, когда сегодня её купил по скидке и зашёл в игру, просто удивила )) спасибо разрабам, видно что поработали. НО игра ещё сыроватая и её нужно улучшать , а так она зашла мне . Нужно поработать над анимацией персонажа- бег ужасный , следы от пуль плохие нужно поработать над эффектами попаданий по предметам. Уменьшите огонь из дула стрелкового оружия во время стрельбы , поработать над глушителем (громко очень). Игру рекомендую ! Нужно развивать комьюнити и наслаждаться игрой. Сам я играть буду и собирать народ на сервера. Для игры раннего доступа ТОП !!! Разработчикам спасибо, что выпустили игру на мой день рождения )) 23.04.1983 ! Ещё и год мой .... гойда!!!
Плюсы: 1) довольно хорошо продуманные механики, есть выбор режима стрельбы, что уже хорошо, почему-то в hll этого до сих пор нет. 2) приятные модельки и звуки 3) разрабы учли кучу всяких мелочей, которых нет во многих играх, но из-за которых играть становится намного приятнее Минусы: 1) Онлайна почти нет, вечером по мск играет человек 6, в остальное время онлайн полностью отсутствует 2) куча багов и всяких недочетов. Гранаты летят не по пальцу, а чуть правее, но почему-то так во многих играх, как-будто у всех разрабов косоглазие, в чем проблема сделать как в арме, там гранаты нормально кидаются. Машины ужасно ощущаются, при столкновении ничего не происходит. Следы от пуль ужасно выглядят. Звуки ходьбы слишком далеко слышно, из-за этого почти любой бой превращается в ожидание пока кто-нибудь не топнет. У некоторого оружия пули летят выше, чем стоит дальность прицеливания. И это только самые заметные недочеты.
0 PLAERS ONLINE. MULTIPLAYER ONLY. WOULD NOT LAUNCH WITHOUT BIOS UPDATE AND TWEEKING OUTPUT OF CPU.
На волне Вьетнамских и Сталинградских флешбеков приобрёл этот "шедевр". Отыграл меньше часа и отложил до лучших времён (а настанут ли они с таким онлайном?). Всё, что годами нарабатывалось в предыдущих играх студии успешно просрано, не предложив ничего взамен. Игра уровня фритуплейных помоек, навечно застрявших в бетатесте.
