Last night I completed Atom RPG, and what a glorious time it was. From the moment I started playing until I finished, it was nothing but sheer joy! The first game that truly feels like a Fallout, and I mean the good ones, like one, two and tactics.
I initially picked one of the starter characters, yet ten minutes later I went back and rolled my own bloke. I went with high int and hand to hand/melee skills, with a smattering of points invested in pistol and rifle. At first almost every battle was a sheer adventure, I often finished with two to five hit points and a quick jaunt to the local physician! After I got my doggie (Butch), I had more staying power, and a few levels under the belt didn't hurt, either.
Crafting is a huge part of the game, or at least that's the way it seemed to me. When I picked up Fidel as a chum, I made him into a pistolero, yet he chugged through ammo so fast it wasn't even amusing. Once he leveled a few times, he became quite lethal, yet unless he was toting five hundred rounds or more, I didn't feel confident. Also the crafting made Butch way more potent, as I was able to craft armors for all three of us, and that really changed everything!
Seriously, in short, if the post apoc genre is to your liking, and classic Fallout games make you drool, try Atom RPG. You just might find a new, gamma-soaked environment to fall in lust with.
