'83 is a 40v40 squad based, objective focused online tactical first person shooter set in a Cold-War-Gone-Hot scenario. It's designed with 'accessible realism' for the most enjoyable, but still hardcore experience that gets you to the action fast, without losing the lethality of war.

Members of our team have worked on all previous Rising Storm titles, and also on the Red Orchestra franchise. Some of us have been in the biz of developing accessible realism games for the past 15 years. It's just what we do best.<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1059220/extras/c50a5b1c02205e609b771633eb63b026.webp?t=1768301130" width=600 height=50 />Games in the tactical/mil-sim shooter genre are usually a huge time sink.  Everybody loves Tarkov and Arma but... not everyone can game 100 hours a week, or afford to prep for a match for XYZ minutes - only to die instantly! <video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1059220/extras/2509fc19718f097d28ea7c5ab470abce.poster.avif?t=1768301130" width=600 height=124 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1059220/extras/2509fc19718f097d28ea7c5ab470abce.webm?t=1768301130" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1059220/extras/2509fc19718f097d28ea7c5ab470abce.mp4?t=1768301130" type="video/mp4"></video>'83 is mindful of your time. It skips the dull parts commonly present in realistic games, takes you to action fast, but does not neglect the lethality of war.You can absolutely still die fast, but should that happen, you're back in business within a minute or two. You might want to avoid the dying though, your squad needs you and every death matters, as the matches are only 30-40 minutes long!The tactical aspect of '83 lies in the objective focused flow of every match that simply requires teamwork to win. Clutch situations when capturing key objectives on the map can be solved with smart flanks, diversions, or well-timed fire missions, all coordinated across multiple squads within a team.<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1059220/extras/f2b2f5f224ef43008137259c096c2afa.webp?t=1768301130" width=600 height=50 />As with any tactical shooter, the selection of gear matters and can make a difference in '83. However, the point is not to experience gear fear. You can customize your loadout, but there are predefined classes (including a team commander!) that set some boundaries in order to strike a balance across factions.<video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1059220/extras/d87311c26aef5cab029ee30bc74f2c5a.poster.avif?t=1768301130" width=600 height=124 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1059220/extras/d87311c26aef5cab029ee30bc74f2c5a.webm?t=1768301130" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1059220/extras/d87311c26aef5cab029ee30bc74f2c5a.mp4?t=1768301130" type="video/mp4"></video>There is a large selection of weapons and other gadgets, each meticulously designed and animated according to their real life counterpart. Also, the weapons behave in a realistic way: the barrels and suppressors overheat when rapid firing, machineguns are better deployed on a stable surface, and bullets don't magically teleport in between magazines when you reload a half-empty one.Sounds like a game you want to play? Great! Please add '83 to your Steam wishlist, and let's stay in touch!<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1059220/extras/fc97d9886b4ac851fb0fdb196871e394.avif?t=1768301130" width=600 height=600 />
