About This Game November 2008. NATO intelligence services report that, for reasons unknown, the Russian military has destroyed GORKY 17, one of the old Soviet "Secret Cities". A year later NATO takes over a former Russian secret base built on Polish soil. Diggers discover a laboratory complex in the completely demolished town. After examining the wreckage, NATO decides to leave the lab as it is. But shortly afterwards the town's previously deserted streets are suddenly teeming with hordes of grotesquely deformed creatures. Word soon gets out to the media, making it impossible for NATO to simply destroy the site. So troops are ordered to hermetically seal the area. Nobody is allowed in or out. A team of three NATO specialists under the leadership of the Canadian Cole Sullivan is sent in to examine the horrifying events on the ground. Will they discover the terrible secret of "Gorky 17"? And more important - will they live to tell about it? Be prepared for intrigue, betrayal and even some romance.

Old, quite old, but fine. Good music and audio surprisingly but not so great graphics with turn based squad combat. So far I can't figure out if it's entirely linear or not, but otherwise it reminds me of Fallout 1 a little bit.The reason I absolutely don't recommend is because I have never actually played this steam version. I had to hunt all over to find an actually working copy. Steam seems to be in the habit of selling broken crap to people and being stingy about refunds. It's a TERRIBLE business practice and reflects extremely poorly on Steam. Seriously go to GOG or hell pirate the thing if you want a copy that works. Don't give your money to steam it's Russian roulette whether your leased not owned copy of a game even works. Some people get this game working fine. Others manage to fix it somehow. Then a bunch of others never get to play it because it's just utterly broken.They have done worse though. Deadlock is still on steam store despite the fact it literally cannot work on newer machines and by newer I mean post Windows 7. Steam, stop selling broken crap. This game only gives me please insert CD error at best. I have found no fix for it except not using steam for it.. I installed this on 3 different computers (2018 Win10 high spec, 2009 WinVista low spec and 2013 Macbook Air with Sierra OS) and it did not work (Vista and Mac did not even start up, Win10 is very buggy) while my original disc installation worked flawlessly, at least on the windows PCs. Very bad port for an otherwise very good game, try to get it elswhere. Don't buy on steam.. Played this game when it came out in 1999. I was 6, and despite this game being turn-based RPG, it spooked the living sh*t out of me :D. WARNING ! BROKEN ! This is from the 'Vendetta - Ravens Cry' publishers Topware Interactive, ACE. They removed the , or added it on the other account. Either way it's a pretty sketchy looking way to conduct business. (That game was originally called just Raven's Cry. So name changing seems to be a typical tactic to avoid negative associations)This game does not work. I can at least get it to load, which is considerably more than some, however it's then the problems start. The top of the screen is consistently obscured, a minimum of 15% up to about 30% depending on just how broken the game decides it's going to be. It also hard crashed twice in the less than 15 minutes i was actually able to play the game without the top part of the screen of course.The terrible visuals are somewhat forgivable given it's age, but the broken state it's in is not. If you don't want to fix it Topware, then stop trying to pedal it. It's the kind of thing I'd expect from two bit hack jobs on the former Greenlight, not a supposed actual professional development studio.I have spent hours attempting to finding solutions online, none of them work for me alas. However i don't believe it should be on the customer to fix this even slightly.How dare they even consider selling a gold edition of this, until they can make the actual game work, it's utterly disgracefulSuch a shame the game did seem appealing but not in this unplayable and unacceptable state. The game looks nothing like the screenshots either and it's not a surprise the trailer is pre rendered featuring zero gameplay. I doubt they could get it to run and look like that, or be stable, or you know, actually just work.Charlatans.. Good game. Need remaster :(
