Battling for supremacy
Enter the open world of Escape from Tarkov as you struggle to survive in one of the two warring factions battling for supremacy. It’s a harsh world, can you survive it?
Escaping Tarkov
In this tactical first-person shooter styled survival game you are setting out to dominate your enemies.
The world of survival game titles is as vast as the open-world of Escape from Tarkov, with many titles that have come and gone. Escape from Tarkov is one of the latest survival games available and features with a whole open world to explore. The game contains enemies, loot, and more enemies. They may be fellow players or AI, but neither will show you any mercy.
In survival mode you’ll use your main character equipped with any gear you’d take on a raid mission. You can gain more gear by looting enemy remains or loot that spawns in certain locations. Don’t die, if you do you’ll lose every item taken into survival mode, and every item gained.
You can join the AI team in Scav mode, a great way to gather new loot with no penalty. However, if you wish to gain loot, you’ll first need to get past your enemy players and reach an extraction point.
You can practice as much as you need to in offline mode, a mode that lets you take gear into raids without losing it upon death. But take into account that any loot found in offline mode will not transfer to online modes. If you need a good trail run, then this is the game mode for you.
Where can you run this program?
Escape from Tarkov requires a high-end computer running Windows 7 or later.
Is there a better alternative?
No. The survival game genre is a cluttered mess featuring titles such as DayZ and Ark, but these titles only gained fame for a short amount of time before becoming repetitive.
Our take
Escape from Tarkov is a fairly new and exciting title entry to the survival game genre, offering PVP and PvE combat in one mode as you struggle to gain loot.
Should you download it?
Yes, Escape from Tarkov is a challenging first-person shooter that fans of similar games will love. The tactical challenge itself is enticing.
