These feel a little more restrictive than the skills with high Dexterity and Intellect, almost feeling like a requirement. There are also your characteristics, which you'd know in Fallout as S.P.E.C.I.A.L, which of course is slightly different here so as not to rip everything verbatim from Atom RPG's biggest influence. But there's a lot of build potential within the character creator with a plethora of skills to choose from, such as lock picking, various gun types, speechcraft to talk your way out of trouble and so forth. Well, for your stats anyway, your character's looks are entirely chosen by the portrait that you select, so there's little personalisation on offer. The game starts with a pleasingly extensive character customisation screen. It's certainly not going to change your mind if you've not enjoyed the genre before. And those people are pretty much entirely who this game is for. On paper, it certainly seems like a no-brainer then, particularly if you're an ardent follower of the CRPG genre. Now, the game has made its way over to mobile, boasting a 60 plus hour experience that you can carry around in your pocket for only $5.

Because Wasteland 2 wasn't enough on its own, the people needed more. Since Bethesda began moving the Fallout franchise further away from its CRPG roots, fans of the genre were clamouring for more games to fill that void.

Atom RPG caused more than a ripple of excitement when its Kickstarter began before the game's eventual release in 2018.
