A post-apocalyptic, isometric, top-down RPG reminiscent of Fallout where you play a Russian in Russia
A post-apocalyptic, isometric, top-down RPG reminiscent of Fallout where you play a Russian in Russia. You are a member of the ATOM organisation, a secret arm of the military that’s been getting ready for the task of rebuilding the Soviet Empire since even before the war. A major in your organisation goes missing and you are sent into the wastelands to look for him. Like early Fallouts, ATOM features a world with much to explore and discover. Dozens of quests litter the devastated landscape, many with variant solutions or outcomes. Dialogue choices are multiple-choice and change based on stat allocation and style. There’s a hunger system, radiation and poison, as well as resistances and cures. Combat is grid-based and you have a limited number of action points to use, so it’s a good thing you have more of them than most monsters, because - despite your extensive military training - you are very bad at fighting early on. Visually and system-wise the game is great. There’s an intricate skill system that not only has an effect on speech and combat, but on your actions in the game world. THE GOOD - Interesting story, with a lot of interesting side-stories - Deep skill / Attribute system - Items and weapons to craft THE BAD - Random encounters can be too hard for your level - Rough start - Inventory management 7/10

ATOM RPG is basically Russian Fallout 2.5
ATOM RPG is basically Russian Fallout 2.5. It has the same non-linear structure, turn-based combat, skill checks, attributes, skills, traits/perks, irreverent writing, interesting locales and open-ended quest design. It has the same attention to detail and rewards you for being comprehensive. It's missing the talking head dialogue but given the budget, that's understandable. Simply put, if you enjoyed FO1 and 2, you'll like ATOM RPG. That said, there are some flaws. RNG is everywhere. Lockpicking, pickpocketing and crafting are all based on chance, making save-scumming basically mandatory. It becomes less annoying as you put more points into each respective skill but it still seems unnecessary. They should have just done what New Vegas did and require specific levels per skill check instead of RNG. That way, you don't waste your time retrying failed checks. The UI was pretty clunky too. Lockpicking and pickpocketing are selected through a contextual menu that requires you to hold LMB. They should have just used hotkeys. Likewise, if you want to identify an item without picking it up, you have to use the same contextual menu. They should have just showed the item name when you mouse over it. Nitpicks aside, ATOM RPG is a remarkable value. It's a 60+ hour CRPG with a $15 price tag. If you're a fan of the genre, this is a no-brainer, especially if you're an old-school Fallout fan.

Hard to put down
Feels like a Russian remake of Fallout 1/2, set in Russia where the war started in the 1980's; a game made by people who really loved Fallout 1/2. I enjoyed it, large world to explore, a stronghold to claim, the most Soviet Union looking car ever made, quests with alternate paths and solutions. I'm not 100% on the idea that vodka cures radiation poisoining. If you ever felt nostalgic about Fallout 2 but played that game to death, this is the game for you. Highly recommended.
