The Setting and World

You explore a huge, open map covering desert and jungle areas. The game features dynamic weather and a day-night cycle. The game relies on your real-world sense of direction rather than a glowing mini-map. You must use physical paper maps and a hand-held compass to navigate. [, , , ]

Survival Mechanics

The game focuses on harsh realism and survival: []

• Malaria: You must find and take pills regularly, or you will collapse from the illness.
• Weapon Degradation: Guns jam and break during firefights because of the wear and tear.
• Healing: You must manually pull bullets out of your arms or stitch up deep cuts during combat.
• Fires: Fire spreads dynamically. You can use it to burn down enemy camps or flush enemies out of the grass. [, , , , ]

Gameplay and Challenges

You earn "rough diamonds" to buy better weapons and upgrades. Enemies respawn quickly at roadblocks once you leave the area. This makes travel dangerous. You can pick "buddies" (friendly mercenaries) to help you on missions. If you take too much damage in a fight, your buddy can save your life
