ATOM RPG: Review After 100%

MASTERPIECE!!!

For the algorithm.

🎮💯( ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠д ⁠•́⁠)b

So it's basically a different version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R but it's the whole of the USSR

Only 9 cad bucks now on psn, gonna get it i think.
Looks like a more gritty wasteland 2,3.

I enjoyed playing how to survive games and most recently the last stand: aftermath, is this game similar to or better than those games?

i really liked encased it was cool game but I didn't really like the shadowRun games the mechanics filled to outdated so I have a really weak spot for Fallout style games would like this??

I'm definitely getting this. I loved Wasteland 2, and found 3 a bit disappointing and goofy. I've been looking for a console, post apocalyptic, isometric RPG to get into and I think I've found it

I'm facing a bug on the android version of the game. Not a single merchant re-stocks even after spending almost 2 in-game weeks without buying anything

I really wish I'd had this review guide when I played this game. I loved it at first, huge OG Fallout fan, but it ended up being one of the most frustrating and punishing gaming experiences.

After seeing this I'm half tempted to give it another go, however especially as there's a console version.

You do good work, Mort.

I'm at the beginning of the game, it felt promising, I love how it is the USSR counterpart to FO1&2 as a veteran of those, but in the end it fails to deliver, the combats are poorly balanced, animations were better in 1998 FO2, it's a bit overwritten, the story is not really engaging (it's quite literally a variation around "Heart of darkness" found Morozov and its team). But it was made with so good intentions I must support ambitious developers full of good intents like that.

I think my run is a bit broken for combat considering my character sucks at fighting/shooting and is a speech master, but I wish combats were slightly less unbalanced nonetheless you could be a speech master and a poor shooter in FO and still be able to win gunfights. I'm almost unable to win in any combat situation against humans when more than one are present, most of the time even if my partner and I are armed with guns fighting against unarmed characters it always fail because guns are bad and we get punched to death.

Also the lack of karma system is a bit problematic, I mean I could steal, murder people in front of my partner and he doesn't seem to care.

The foundations are there, but the game needs plenty of refinement to reach FO2, perhaps the sequel Trudograd fixed all those issues, I don't know, I'll try to finish my run first and learn how it should be played and then I'll go either for a second run or for Trudograd.

Despite all those critics and small flaws, I would still highly recommend playing that game.

This looks like a remake of Fallout 1 & 2 lol

Why is your HUD way more different than that on mine and also it almost looks the same as that from Fallout 1 and 2 … Perhaps because i’m playing on console. BTW nice review, and i’m enjoying this game af lol

Reminds me of Fallout 2...

Mort is it as good old Fallouts ? Is there any humor like in the second F.?

Basically took the what made stalker and the classic fallout games good and put them together

I was lucky enough to stumbled into a garage swarmed with bandits but somehow most of the time they try to shoot they end jamming their weapons and got away with a shit of rusty weapons to sell and actual armor, lady luck is blinding

hi Mort,any advice for a sniper build?

Just bought this for mobile. Usually don't play on mobile, but this game just hits different. I wish more companies did what these guys did. Bring the whole PC version to mobile and charge 10 bucks for it. Can't beat it honestly. Amazing game so far.

Any tips on the sniper build?

Your reveiw is spot on,But i feel like you left comment out, everygun every helmet, amrour is all historically accurate, i was expecting just basic kinda gear set, but that fact they have full soviet gear, genuine soivet camo etc, and accurate gas masks was cool

Thanks for the review. I was stuck on deciding what game I want to get next and I feel like a lot of games that have been coming out lately have been too expensive for the content they provide (i.e. Evil West which I love butttt still not worth $60+) and I know this will be a big bang for my buck.

I really wish studios would stop with half-hearted CRPGs whereby there is a clear optimum build and most of the time it relates to DPS or alpha strikes. It would be so easy in a loot based game to allow the social skills to give you a material advantage such as much cheaper gear or easier access to loot and currency while the usual combat skills have to struggle to gear up and make ends meet but is perfectly capable at offsetting their inadequate gear with personal abilities.

The DEX thing is also an unforgettable oversight as it flat out increases both offense AND defense while giving you more freedom to not commit to any risky decisions.

Thanks for the honest review, I was thinking of buying the for my next CRPG but it I'd prefer to not be gimped for not choosing the specifc builds the game was designed for.

Wished they added in some active abilities along with the basic attacks and called shots for combat. Still I’d probably enjoy combat anyway

The only thing I dislike about this game, like I did with fallout 1 and 2, is that shit inventory management.

This game receives so little praise from so much of the gaming community, and that is a damn shame. Hell it's one of my favorite games of all time, and dude, you can roleplay as Slav Fist Of The North Star very successfully with martial arts and throwing weapons and I did that and lost myself with one character for like 70+ hours.

Thanks.

Can I Run It says the video memory on my Surface Pro isn't enough for this. 💔😭

Finally, a decent game reviewer and a man of culture. Subscribed.

This is quite timely as I just purchased this to try to feed my Underrail itch. Phenomenal analysis my friend. You earned a sub.

Good review, I'm glad this game is getting the attention it deserves. Btw personality checks are required for getting some of the npc companions to follow you so neglecting it can make you miss out on some really great dialog between the characters

I honestly think that some of the worldbuilding and faction interactions are on par with Fallout: New Vegas. Dan’s factory gang is my premier example: they don’t operate as generic raiders, they’re a protection racket. And they actually do protect some smaller towns from even worse threats, like slavers coming from Syoma Voronock

Been playing Fallout 1, man really love how the game looks. There's another one that released last year. Atom RPG Trudogad

I'm a complet noob, but I wanna get into CRPG, pls recomend me easy games for begginers!

Reminds me a ton of wasteland 2

It's a cool game, I like that in recent years Russian developers have started making more games. Especially about the apocalypse, Russians are more sensitive to it, more dramatic, you feel complete despair, depression in such games. Example a series of subway games.

Yes, I know that the developers are from Ukraine, but the author of the books on which the games are made is from Russia. And there is no difference between Ukrainians and Russians, one people divided by corrupt politicians

Looks neat, but Underrail is higher on my list

I passed this over for so long because the name makes it sound like just another poorly made, generic phone game. The only reason I ended up buying it was because Wasteland 2 was such a terrible Switch port. Atom RPG ended up being almost everything I could want in a game of the same genre. If they made a directors cut with dlc included & changed the name a little they could make a killing.

This game was for me the greatest surprise of 2020, i got the game in August for around 1 dollar, i even brought it to a friend and we both really loved the game.
And i made a strength unarmed build, and i have to tell you that past some point in the game a became the one punch man.

Good review! It made me play Atom again ;)

They're channels you have only to watch one vid to know you wanna subscribe. This channel is one of them.
Cheers mate!

Pretty much all RPGs fall into the trap that intellect/intelligence is just overpowered. Wasteland (all of them), Divinity Original Sin 2, Fallout, Elder Scrolls... They all struggle because maxing intelligence for more skill points each level is just too strong. It needs a redesign.

Did you ever play Wasteland from 1988? This pretty much inspired the first Fallout game. Nice old school difficult turn based rpg goodness. Once I grow tied of the traditional Roguelike vibe I'm on at the moment I might give Atom RPG another go.

This game is so old.

One of my husband's favourite games recently 😊👍

The only question I have left is: Why not just play Fallout 2? :D

Those cutscenes have the tiniest subtitles I've ever seen.
