Why play it

Chornobyl Liquidators is not a fantastic tale of exploring the Zone. It's a story about real people facing a real threat — the CNPP disaster. Invisible radiation, KGB, difficult moral choices... Do you have enough courage and strength to take on this challenge?

Story and worldbuilding

On April 26, 1986, the largest nuclear disaster in human history occurred. As a result of the explosion and destruction of reactor number 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, a massive amount of radioactive isotopes were released into the atmosphere. Squads of liquidators were sent out to combat this invisible and deadly enemy. They were not heroes, yet they were called upon to perform heroic deeds. Many of them paid with their own health, and even their lives...

Chernobyl Liquidators begins with genuine desire and offers touching and immersive first moments. However, the deterioration in quality as the game progresses, the transition to repetitive cleaning tasks, control issues, and poor technical performance detract from much of the experience's value. Despite the ambitious ideas, the execution is largely disappointing. Unless substantial updates are released, the game remains a frustrating experience.

A poor port of a lacklustre game, that fails to accurately depict the true horror of the Chernobyl disaster.

Do you want to know what it's like to be a rescuer from Chernobyl? This game will partially convey that to you. In the end, the overall experience is not exactly bad, although the gameplay is dull at times and the combination of simulation with espionage and stealth elements is not exactly the best decision.

Chornobyl Liquidators offers a poignant and intimate story, presenting a real playful structure. It entertains and engages for the entire five hours it takes to get to the end credits, also reinforced by brilliant writing and memorable dialogues capable of transporting you to another brutal reality. It could move those who, impressed by the television series, have left their hearts in the story of the most tragic nuclear power plant in the world.
