ATOM RPG: Post-apocalyptic indie game

This game looks and feels exactly like the orignal turn-based Fallout, but set in Russia... and I love it.

I feel like I'm playing Fallout 2 again but with an entirely different story. Having a good time and I'm already 10hours in, so I feel it deserves 5 stars, especially for the price.

if you were looking for INDIE fallout this is the best clone closest to the real thing and I love everything about it.

As others say, an enjoyable sci-fi RPG in a sarcastic, Slavic-flavored Fallout. Deep character customization, a large world to explore, an eclectic cast of characters (recruitable or otherwise). A healthy selection of factions & numerous ways to resolve quests. For better or worse, it continues tropes & trends (good & bad) of games of this type: an intriguing story, a wide range of people & places (even if most are superficial or exist as setpieces), as well as unforgiving RNG & arbitrary game mechanics (though the game does make an effort to explain things). The game is very punishing at the start, even though I poured all my stats into combat, making anything more than 1 or 2 skills impractical (on normal difficulty) until I reached high level & was able to budget & save up for gear & recruit allies. Unfortunately, numerous skills & perks are so niche as to be useless since their application is so rare. This can be mitigated by designating specific companions to roles, but even meeting them is a task in itself. I almost quit a couple times about 5 hours in, but I'm glad I stuck with it to about 80 hours now. That said, the game takes time & effort to enjoy. Even though many mechanics & plot developments seem to work against its own fun, with patience, there's a lot of game to explore & fun to be had. At times, it was a real blast, but also I've played long enough that the shortcomings are no longer justified in my opinion to keep playing. For instance, friendly AI, though influenced by the player, is pretty stupid. It's nice to allow the player to give general orders, but it'd be more efficient if the player just controlled everybody. In its current state, the player needs to issue orders, reverse orders, re-issue orders in a single conflict because companions lack sense. Other issues, such as poison & radiation hazards, companions standing in the way, & more, aren't game-breakers, but don't warrant the effort to complete the game. I enjoyed my time here.

Played all fallout games (beside 76 but that wasn't really a fallout game imo). This game have clearly taken insperation from the early fallout games and thats a good thing if you ask me - We need more of that :) If your into this game type I would recommend giving this a spin!
