S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly is a free, standalone fan‑made survival FPS experience for Windows inspired by the classic S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series (Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat). It uses a custom 64‑bit Monolith/X‑Ray engine to stitch maps and content from across the trilogy into one interconnected “Zone” you can freely explore in multiple playstyles.
Rather than adhering strictly to the original story, Anomaly focuses on open‑ended survival, scavenging, faction warfare, and sandbox exploration. You can tackle a story‑driven campaign, roam the Zone in sandbox mode, or jump into warfare mode where factions battle for territory. The game features deep survival mechanics such as hunger, thirst, radiation, weapon degradation, scavenging, crafting, and dynamic AI behavior—with weather and day/night cycles adding to the immersion.
Anomaly is highly customizable, offering hundreds of adjustable settings, and supports addons and community mods that expand gameplay further. Popular expansion modpacks like GAMMA add even deeper survival, crafting, and realism features for players looking to push the experience.
