ATOM RPG: Post-apocalyptic indie game

The game got me hooked. It’s surprising that it’s not here on the site in the “games similar to Fallout” selection. Guys, this is Fallout 1-2 in the USSR setting with improved graphics. The game has its shortcomings; many blame it for its lack of authenticity and lame balance. I don’t know... This is fantasy, the reliability here is conditional, the main thing is that a person is immersed in the atmosphere of a post-apocalypse, and I think the developers succeeded. Combat, not x-com, of course, but this is not required here, the battles are quite on the level with the same Fallout or Vasteland 2. A controversial point for me is the use of avatars of famous personalities; I think we could have done without it. In general, I recommend you to play through it, don’t waste your money - buy it on Steam (I bought it) to support the developers, because... Part 2 is being prepared.

This is a super game, not even like that, SUPER!!! Anyone who has 1 or 2 fouls must play. At some points, ATOM RPG even surpasses them. Complete freedom, the style of play depends on the stats of your character, there cannot be two identical playthroughs, a large amount of black humor, Easter eggs, references to various books, games, crafting armor, weapons, cartridges, items, turn-based battles where you need to think with your head, a lot text, each character in the game has his own story, which he may or may not tell, depending on his stats. There hasn't been such a cool project for a long time. Respect to the developers and do not stop there.

I really liked the game: incredible plot, beautiful graphics.

I’ve been following the game from the very beginning, as soon as it started appearing online. I haven’t gotten such a thrill since Fallout 1 and 2; you can’t compare, of course, very different worlds. But these are just my subjective feelings. Thanks to the development team.

Cons

1 Poorly thought-out text garbage from a bunch of useless NPCs.

2 Unbalanced gameplay in a group. Help from allies is only for carrying belongings.

3 Boring quests with long and expensive treks back and forth.

4 A lot of time is spent on moving all the pieces on the battlefield.

5 Poor selection of trade.

And many more nasty things that I found..

Pros

1 Quite a large map. Each location has a story.

2 Lots of humor.

3 I gave up towards the end and don't regret it.

I've seen better games, like KGB agents dropped on a prisoner planet, or a guy whose car breaks down in the middle of the road in winter and he has to squirm around to avoid freezing or starving to death.
