Linux series s series x Playstation 4 Nintendo Switch PC Windows Mac OS

Atom RPG is an old school post-apocalyptic game set in Russia. The character creation is reminiscent of games like Fallout, with skills, stats and traits that affect the game's difficulty. Combat is turn-based and action point based, while crafting gives players the chance to create objects using various pieces of rubbish found in the wasteland. There are plenty of NPCs with their own stories, as well as a main storyline to follow.


What we like:
  • Rich character customization options
  • Turn-based combat system
  • Variety of NPCs with stories
  • Crafting system based on scavenging for resources
  • Main storyline and side quests
What could be improved:
  • Aiming at body parts rarely has an effect
  • Speechcraft skills are essential for success in some situations
  • Some NPCs have more personality than others
