Zero Sievert

A tense and taxing but wonderfully engaging hybrid of singleplayer roguelike and extraction shooter.

Zero Sievert might use a lot of familiar genre descriptors, such as roguelike and extraction shooter, and it might not do a whole lot different from other, similar games that came before. However, everything it does, it does just right. It rewards you enough to make the steep challenge worth putting up with. It pushes you to explore and experiment by making both goals feel achievable with the right plan and a bit of luck, and eventually, it gives you the tools to make some fantastically detailed weapon builds and take on even bigger challenges with bigger rewards on offer. It's all recognizable, sure, but when Zero Sievert is this fun, innovation doesn't really matter.

A catchy extraction shooter from a post-apocalyptic environment successfully deceives with its appearance. Behind the cute pixel art is a decent game challenge and a ruthless world.

ZERO Sievert is a brilliant game that reinterprets the extraction shooter genre in an original way, but also more detailed in some aspects than the competition.

Zero Sievert is tough, but it offers a satisfying experience that teaches you upon every death, giving you a reason to keep playing.

ZERO Sievert's clear inspirations are Escape from Tarkov and STALKER, and it succeds in providing a decent mix of the two game, with a good atmosphere and solid weapon mechanics. However, the crafting system (and its resource requirement) feel a little grindy and less milsim-oriented folks might find some mechanics a little frustrating.

Zero Sievert is an excellent game that will draw you in and get your heart racing with excitement and adrenaline. The setting in post-apocalyptic Eastern Europe following a nuclear power plant explosion is put to good use, and the pixel art style gives this top-down RPG shooter a unique flair. It’s truly an impressive title that will keep you hooked. With a wide variety of real-world weapons that you can customize, plus a vast array of resources, materials, and gear, you’re guaranteed never to get bored. Enemies won’t give you anything for free, and every time you survive a hunting trip, it’s an achievement in itself. Zero Sievert definitely has great potential, and if you enjoy this style, love the atmosphere of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, and appreciate the gritty mechanics of Escape from Tarkov in a 2D pixel art style, this game will undoubtedly become a major time sink for you.
