    Dive into Skopje, a comic book styled first-person shooter with rogue-lite elements and an open-ended world gameplay.

    Explore a city thrust into disarray by an unknown event and survive the hordes of mutated abominations that lurk at every corner. You'll need to gather resources and enhance your weaponry with blueprints that remain with you between runs.

    Every time you die and come back, the city is changed. Enemies spawn in different locations, the loot changes, and you have to kill your way through the city again. Different roads lead to different challenges.

    Skopje '83 has its own unique way of revealing its secrets, with engrossing environmental storytelling that pulls you into a world of alternate history Balkans, occult dealings, retro-futuristic science and more!

    Skopje ’83 blends comic-book style visuals with FPS roguelite survival, offering plenty of weapons and a wide-open approach to exploration. While its atmosphere and Balkan-inspired world stand out, unclear progression and a myriad of questionable game design choices hold it back.

    Depending on how you play and enjoy games, Skopje ‘83 is very divisive in that regard. Some people may like a game where it doesn’t hold your hand and you’re allowed to explore wherever. There is enjoyment in finding things out on your own, but even that has its limits when you end up repeating the same moments with very little change. This is a hard game to recommend to most people and it feels like one where you would need a guide to help you through it. The gameplay and art style carry this quite well, but the lack of direction is one of the main proponents knocking it down in terms of enjoyability.
