ATOM RPG: Post-apocalyptic indie game

As the title says, it's a pretty decent game for it's price. I do not understand why they put Martial Arts into it though. When I see that as an option for fighting, I usually choose that because it's generally pretty good. Martial Arts is god damned garbage in this game though. I even gave myself the Blackbelt Perk, so that I'd be even better with it, but it makes you useless with guns. And guess what? Every Bandit/Radier/Person in Rags you'll find uses Guns. So have fun getting close. 111 Points into Martial Arts, and it is a complete waste. Any gun will hit harder, has range, and you don't have to be molested by Bears for trying to give them a punch. Seriously, who designs Martial Arts to be useless? (They should just call it brawling or some such, it's not like you do any cool moves or anything, like Martial Arts generally have.)

I'm a big Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics fan and for me ATOP RPG is like a dream came true :)

Fine extension of the the Fallout ethos. I am especially encouraged by frequent updates and serious effort to eliminate bugs. Keep it up, guys!! Good value at the price.

I never ran into any bugs. I think it's interesting to play a game made in a country other than the US, it gives the game a fresh feeling despite being about a topic that's got a lot of games made about it. I expect to get many hours of fun out of this game.

Try to imagine a western studio making Stalker. Even if they were to attempt a 1:1 conversion and followed the basic design principles as closely as possible, the cultural beliefs of the development team would seep into the bones. ATOM is Fallout, and yet not Fallout. The eastern European flavour doesn't merely amount to an occasional cultural reference, but also manifests in survival elements (it's a Russian thing), and unsanitized writing that opens up roleplaying opportunities most modern western RPG developers would balk at. ATOM cannot eclipse Fallout, but it's distinct enough to avoid being labelled a lesser copy that makes you wish you were playing Fallout instead.
