A love letter to old CRPGs

I am having a blast playing this, and I DID expect a lot from the game, as old isometric Fallouts are in my "top 5 of all time" list. The current version (1.1) is in my experience free of any bugs. I am 50+ hours in, taking my time roaming across the eastern wasteland :) and getting excited with myriad of little details and references scattered across - clearly this was made by people who are fans of old isometric CRPGs, and that is obvious in every screen of the game. The fact that the game does not hold your hand is very refreshing, and improves the feeling of being lost and resourceless at the beginning at least - you'll have to "earn" everything, nothing is given for free, and that is more than welcome in my opinion. Of course, I can list some things which would improve the game, but taking the price and value into account, this is a GEM!

one of the best

well, what a surprise. i didn't expect to love atom that much. all these negative reviews almost prevented me from buying it, but it ended up being one of the best crpgs i've ever played. atom is a love letter to fallout, not just a "clone". atom is the reason why i love video games. i'm playing an alcoholic character who uses his dog and his slave to carry his booze. doesn't get better than that! since everything has already been said about atom, just read the previous reviews for more details.

All you need is Hexogen

When you don't have something important to do and you like rpgs like Wasteland 2 and Expeditions: Viking go for this game. I sunk over 100 hours into this little gem, even though it started out roughly (the tutorial does not show, what you should actually expect from fights). What I liked about it the most is its humour. From its setting alone you cannot expect the numerous references (pokemon!) that game throws at you, I probably missed half of it anyways. On the negative side I experienced quite a bit of grinding mid-game, the followers are sometimes plain suicidal and I rather have a cover-system in these kind of turn-based fights. But that wasn't a game-breaker at all, it just felt like a lack of tactical possibilities. Thumps up from me, totally worth the full price or even more, devs are constantly working on the game too.

Pretty well done, with minor nitpicks

Quite solid successor of Fallout 1&2, describing the Soviet side of the Armageddon. Coming from a post-Soviet culture myself, I quite enjoyed the gags and references, although someone with Western background might miss quite a lot (I guess the same in reverse applies to Fallout series). Pros: + Reasonably large, believable world + Loads of side quests, sometimes intertwined, with interesting twists + Variety of gear and items in general + OK graphics for the genre Cons: - Some skills are a bit underused (yes, Pickpocket, I'm looking at you - the one that's mandatory to use in exactly _one_ quest in the entire game) - Some random encounters felt unbalanced (you get overwhelmed quickly, esp. at the beginning) - Lack of money at the vendors - No voiceovers (I know this is budget-dependent, but still...) Overall pretty nice impression and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Fallout 2 style RPG based in Russia

This was one of my favorite games during the pandemic. There was very little hand holding which was a nice relief. An actual challenge in RPGs is a rare thing. The Dialog is witty and everyone has something to say. It's political without being slanted pro russia or anti usa. Overall, just a fun, dark rpg with great moments of humor to lighten up such a dark subject matter. I can't see any rpg fan not enjoying this game.. and the sequal Trudograd. MUST PLAY.
