ATOM RPG

This is a really good game in the style of the original wasteland game.
people reviewbombing the game because of new ukranian localisation are just hateful warmongers.

I would recommend this game, however it does have some issues. I think the main one for me right now is I have played for 47 hours, and I don't know if it's because the tutorial is not very well done or because I wasn't paying enough attention (I am normally obsessive over reading every single piece of dialogue) - but I only just found the ability tree after playing for so long. I basically played the game on super hard mode with no perks and I do think that the tutorial or maybe the translation is the problem, as there are quite a few mistakes when reading through the game. I was thinking the game was ridiculously hard, when in my opinion I just hadn't been informed properly of this essential part of the game.
There are also some annoying QOL issues such as seeing what does and doesn't have loot in it being a pointless time-consuming addition. The alt key highlights what containers contain items - but only after you've already searched them. This means in some rooms there can be 30 containers you have to go through where more than half might have nothing in them, but you still have to check cause they might have a really good new piece of armour. The game has multiple small issues like this which could have been fixed so easily, making for a much more streamlined experience.
However, the game is still good in spite of these problems. If you like Fallout 1 and 2 you'll love this game, and despite it never reaching their heights, I'd say it's still very much worth playing if you long for that forgotten style of CRPG. It's the kind of game that makes me very excited to try the Expansion, and for further sequels to refine the formula, when ATOM Team have done this well on their first try :).
P.S. If you buy this game please look up some of the mods that add QOL improvements. I have played up to this point without them, but really wish I'd downloaded them earlier.
EDIT: The second half of this game is nowhere near as good as the first half - the Dead City in particular is a complete boring slog, with many decisions that defy explanation and only serve to make the game much much much more irritating to the point where, in the last ten hours, I was forcing myself to play and beat the game just because I'd already spent so much time on it. Therefore my thoughts on the game are a lot more mixed now. I almost certainly won't replay it, and now only recommend it for those who have already played Fallout 1 and 2 to death. The recommendation also comes under the proviso to use a walkthrough, along with the QOL mods I wish I had used.

Played all the way through on my tablet. Its a great nostalgia bomb for original Fallout 1 & 2 fans and doesn't deserve the bad reviews its getting just for adding Ukrainian localization.

I wanted to hate this game. Everything is a little clunky and takes a little longer than it should, it's full of stuff that when translated into English from Russian doesn't make a ton of sense, and it is not shy about putting you into no-win situations.
But I just can't help but love this game. Winning certain fights feels incredibly rewarding, the characters are so wacky and unique, and above all, it's too loyal to Fallout where almost every "Fallout-like" has not been. Very early in the game I ran into a caravaner with an M16, some armor, a sabre and a ton of expensive gear, including timed explosives. I sold him all my stuff to buy the timed explosives, blew him and his guards up even though I was way too weak to fight them fair, and caught the windfall of a lifetime. I spent the rest of the game ducking head headhunters, but too few games let you tell your own story using the game world anymore, and ATOM RPG is one of them.

POSITIVES:

A modern yet faithful take on older Fallout games with a Russian twist
Simple yet effective turn-based combat with a great selection of weapons
Companions, while not as fleshed out as in some CRPGs, are interesting

NEGATIVES:

Frequent trash mob encounters, particularly in the late-game
The writing, while funny, can be hit or miss with dialogue options

I adore this game, it was clearly made with lots and lots of love. I'm redownloading this game just because of how much I enjoyed my time with it the first time. If you're a fan of CRPG's or Fallout or just love drinking all the vodka you can find, I HIGHLY recommend this game. Its janky sometimes sure but what can you expect from a small team. I would say its less janky and buggy than anything Bethesda released recently lol. I hope the people who made this game are proud of their product, cause I sure am.

I was around for the first Fallout games, as well as the STALKER franchise: playing this game gives me the same feeling as I had when playing those for the first time. It's not just a copycat, it's original and a great homage to those classics. It's not a shoot-em-up (at least not so far, after a few hours play). What it is, though, is great fun! And a bargain at the price, too.
