As a shooter Metro 2033 features a wide range of weapons (some fictional and some based on real weapons) that the player will use in combat. The war takes place between humans and mutants. Humans fight with similar weapons available to the player. The game has health refills rather than the default 1 health of the game, if the player avoids taking damage for a period of time, health will slowly recharge. The player can speed this process up by using a medkit, which will almost instantly heal the player to full health. When a player is severely injured, it can take more than twenty seconds to return to full health.
In a combat environment, ammo is considered a rare and necessary item. Ammo is used as currency for exchange. Due to the scarcity of ammo, an important aspect of gameplay is that players can pick up loot from their surroundings, as well as weapons and items. Military-grade ammo can be used to purchase ammunition, weapons, and items at most subway stations, albeit at a high price.
The location of the game reflects the dark space of the subway and the horror elements of the game. Strange phenomena and occasional noises, and most of the time the player has to rely solely on flashlights sometimes resorting to night vision during gameplay.
Metro 2033 aims to be immersive, the gameplay and interface are somewhat atypical. The game lacks a health meter, relying on heart rate and blood spatters sound on the screen to show the player’s current state of health. The player must collect air filters for the gas masks, which last a few minutes each and are automatically replaced, as long as the player has plenty of reserves. There is no heads-up indicator display to indicate how long until the player’s gas mask filter starts to fail, rather, a timer on the character’s wristwatch gives until how long the current filter expires. The gas mask can become visibly damaged and will stop working if punctured, requiring it to be replaced. With all weapons, ammo is (partially) visible, informing the players that their weapon is running low on ammo and they must reload. The game does not feature sparse traditional HUD elements, such as an ammunition indicator. However, on the most difficult difficulty, no HUD element is present, and the player must keep track of the ammunition of partially visible magazines.
There are also some moral choices in the game that for Karma, can lead to different endings. Choices can be either getting good player Karma, for example, saving the prisoner from performing, or bad Karma, for example being rude to someone who steals. Gain or loss of karma is marked by a flash of light and a resounding sound.
