GB Feature: ATOM RPG Review

It’s not every day that we get a chance to check out an isometric role-playing game set in a Soviet post-nuclear wasteland, so we made a point of taking AtomTeam’s crowdfunded ATOM RPG through its paces to see what it has to offer within the CRPG landscape. A little something from our full four-page review:

The game’s story follows a member of ATOM, a secret military organization that has a lot in common with Fallout’s Brotherhood of Steel, on a quest to find a missing general. This quest will take you all across the game’s multiple overworld maps and their locations that include dilapidated pre-war bunkers, an assortment of settlements doing their best to survive the aftermath of a nuclear war, and plenty of various points of interest in-between.

What sets ATOM RPG apart from Fallout here, is the fact that this time around we’ll be exploring a post-apocalyptic wasteland that started off as USSR and not USA. The game positively oozes a certain unmistakable Soviet charm and most of the time feels quite authentic. Locations, characters, decorations, weapons, and even quests all feel right at home in this drab and grey communism-laden atomic wasteland.
