A fight against the system
Set in a dystopian Eastern European state, Chains of Freedom throws you into the boots of an elite military squad trying to survive in a world full of corruption, conspiracy, and supernatural threats. Combat is turn-based and tactical, meaning every move matters—positioning, abilities, and squad loadout can make or break a mission.
Weapons? You’ve got everything from meat hooks and axes for brutal close-quarters fights to flamethrowers and mortars for wiping out enemies from a distance. There’s also a gear and upgrade system, letting you enhance your squad using biocrystals found in the world. Expect to scavenge for ammo, use consumables like Molotovs, and make some tough calls to keep your team alive.
A world on the brink
The world of Chains of Freedom is as dangerous as it is immersive. You’ll explore abandoned cities, hidden research labs, and heavily guarded military outposts, all while unravelling a conspiracy involving a rogue scientist, mind-control experiments, and a collapsing government. With real-time exploration outside of combat, you’ll need to stay sharp, make smart choices, and adapt to an ever-changing battlefield.
If you love turn-based strategy, dark dystopian settings, and games that make you think before you act, Chains of Freedom should be on your radar. April 15—mark the date.
