Skopje ‘83 is a first-person shooter/roguelike set in post-apocalyptic Skopje. If you didn’t know (like me before writing this article), Skopje is the capital of North Macedonia. The visuals and gameplay might make you think of Borderlands, but Skopje ‘83 is an open-world roguelike with crafting elements. The goal is to give the player different experiences by changing the enemies and loot each run in this comic-book version of the Balkans.

Skopje ‘83 is out now for PC. Check out the launch trailer below:

WELCOME TO SKOPJE ’83

  • 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.

LOOT – CRAFT – SURVIVE

  • Take down the hordes of mutated abominations, gather resources and enhance your weaponry with blueprints that remain with you between runs.

NO PLACE LIKE DOM

  • No matter how hostile the outside world is, you always have your mobile base in the form of a DOM, the bus where you can not only upgrade yourself, but you can also drive it around the city.

EVER-CHANGING LOOT – ENEMIES – PLAYTHROUGH

  • 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.

UNCOVER THE MYSTERY

  • Skopje 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!
