Chains of Freedom turns ONE today! It’s been a whole year since release, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us along the way – for playing, sharing your thoughts, and being part of the experience. To celebrate the anniversary, the game is currently 40% off on Steam. If you’ve been thinking about giving it a try, now’s a great moment to jump in.

Когда на Землю упал метеорит с таинственной субстанцией, вызывающей дичайшие мутации, Суверенное государство встало на защиту человечества. Да, по косвенным признакам оно кажется тоталитарной тюрьмой народов, зато у людей есть шанс пережить вторжение инопланетной заразы. Впрочем, не все хотят выменивать безопасность за свободу, поэтому отряду «миротворцев» необходимо найти и ликвидировать известного бузотера доктора Светлова, дабы ничто не будоражило умы сограждан.

Hey everyone, Our game is finally out — and we just wanted to take a moment, a real one, to say thank you. From the bottom of our hearts. We’re a small team within Nordcurrent with big dreams, and this game has been a labor of love every step of the way — we poured everything into this because we love making games. We love storytelling, world-building, creating moments for players to feel something real. And the fact that there’s a community out there can now play what we made? That means more than we can ever put into words. You’re not just playing a game — you’re supporting a team, allowing

The strategy turn-based tactics genre is a hard one to break into, mostly because a few games have already nailed it down to near perfection. XCOM, Fire Emblem, and Wasteland have basically set the blueprint, and they’ve done it so well that any new entry has to work extra hard to stand out. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for something new to shake things up a bit. Chains of Freedom definitely tries to do just that. Chains of Freedom, developed by Nordcurrent, drops us into a post-apocalyptic Eastern Europe where everything is falling apart. You play as a squad of soldiers who are shot
