ATOM RPG: Trudograd

The GOG store page is incorrect. You cannot play this game with a controller. Otherwise, it is great!! You just absolutely have to use mouse + keyboard.

Following the nueclar war and all that you're a small town dude set on a big man's task. are you that guy? can you find it in yourself to stop the approaching threat of another mass extinction event? or will the wasteland, with its stories, struggles and people within it, take you soul and seemingly bring apon the looming yet warranted doom? this is a culture dump of brilliant minds that warmed up on A.T.O.M. this is it. this is the scratch you've been looking for

Nice game! Nice game! Nice game!

This game seems good at first look. With time you discover how many skill cheks do nothing most of options you see are just mirrage. for exemple you can make a skill check to turn off robots you just need 205 i tech, but thous robot is already turn off(and robot who talk with you and turrent still work) when you meet them first so instate making a skill check you can just shoot them and you end up with this same result. So this skill check is pointless. Many thing are like that, they add extra stuff to skills but rpg side seems less then in first game, and there wasn't much there to begain. In first game your companin sometimes charm in with there skill check, this no longer happen. It seems like many thing is not utilized fully. Some quest can lock you in bad choice, like getting wepons for rebelion. If you not gonna pass skill check or have money, you have to kill them, you can't go back letter, or just not attack them, why ? Crafting did not get upgrade. Radnom encaounters are wird and offten enemy spawn on your face. your companion can't follow you like in first game, know they will try to go araound map trigering every one just to come to room. from every talk with npc i only enjoy talking with 3 old ladys, that was fun. There is radion that I only use twice, and when i wan't to use it for logicla purpose I couldn't , the npc even mention you can do it, but it was not avible option. From time to time you find a robbers radio, still didn't figured out how to use it. Some achivment like become king of the ring don't even give you a cosmetic talent, if this is so much to assk. New wepons are fun so this is plus. Cold is too easy to beat, and im dying from carring all this meat with me. but well I bought this on 60% off for 20pln and this is how much it was worth. It could be great but it is beare bone of rpg

When the game was first released in 2020, controller support was listed as a feature, though the game did not actually support controller play. Over 4 years later and controller support is still listed as a feature but is still missing. I loved ATOM and was excited to support the game devs with another purchase, but now it just feels like I was scammed. After all, ATOM had controller support (that worked smoothly) so I'm struggling with why the devs wouldn't have included it in this game. TLDR: Devs marketed the game on false pretenses. Do not buy.
