The controls and the art, in general, are pretty similar, which is an excellent thing. There are plenty of elements like the skills, dialogue options, and exploration that are similar too.īut when it comes to the visuals, it is much more similar to Wasteland 2, and this goes even into the UI.

It is easy to see the similarities between Atom RPG and Fallout, one of the biggest classics in the genre. And while we do go out of the base fully loaded, armed, and well-equipped, we are immediately robbed by a group of thieves and left on our own to survive in this world. Our character is military from a secret organization called ATOM, whose main purpose was to look first mission is to go out of the base, find, and retrieve a group of ATOM that abandoned the facilities and never came back. You create a character and spend some points with the basic attributes, skills, and special abilities of your choice. It is pretty much the usual you’d expect from these kinds of games. Here where we get to create our character and start our adventure. Little by little the inhabitants have managed to start to rebuild with small settlements on the ruins of what once was. Not to mention the thieves, robbers, and criminals that go around terrorizing the surviving inhabitants and of course, the wild animals and mutants that were created by the radiation mixed with animals. Now, twenty years after the conflict, the soviet land is still a dead place, full of radiation and all its consequences.

The nuclear war against Occidental Block has left a dark mark behind, and the entire region is now devastated.
