Escape from Tarkov is a multiplayer FPS inspired by popular military simulation games like ArmA. The game emphasizes the use of realistic weapons and ballistics, making the fights extremely short, intense, and strategic. It allows players to engage in raids in the fictional region of Norvinsk, a Russian economic special zone that turned rogue after its government collapsed. Players explore various environments, from urban chaos to beautiful seaside landscapes, and must progress as teams to reach an extraction point without being killed by rival squads also roaming the map. If a player dies, they lose their belongings, which can then be stolen by opponents, making each enemy encounter filled with thrilling danger.
