Metro Redux contains two games from the Metro 2033 game franchise: Metro 2033 and Last Light. Both games are first-person shooters with elements of stealth and survival horror. The gameplay is based on exploring the tunnels and stations of the Moscow subway, as well as the radiation-poisoned surface, and battles with mutated monsters and enemy soldiers of various factions. Metro 2033 and Last Light have multiple endings that depend on a variety of decisions made by the player as they progress through the game.
In both games, the setting is Moscow, destroyed by nuclear war. The protagonist of the games is a young soldier named Artem. In Metro 2033, he has to save his home station from the Blacks, mysterious and dangerous creatures. The game has two possible endings – their choice is determined by a system of “morality points” hidden from the player: in the end, Artem can either launch missiles into the Black hive, wiping it out, or destroy the laser targeting device, leaving the creatures alive. The plot of Last Light builds on the first ending: the missile attack on the Black’s lair was carried out, only one young individual survived, and now Artem’s task is to find and destroy the Black, while fighting the troops of the communist Red Line and the fascist Fourth Reich
