![]() The devs are also very active in STEAM discussions and are openly taking complaints and feedback there. Overall, there seems to be a noticeable improvement in the coat of polish applied. ![]() The inventory and journal systems aren’t a mess anymore and quests and characters are more interesting and varied so far. Visually, Trudograd looks slightly better, especially at night times. AtomTeam seems to have learned a lot from their first rodeo in EA and have put all that knowledge into making this small vertical slice of Trudograd for potential buyers. While ATOM RPG Trudograd only has about 5 major locations, just over 20 sidequests and 3 main quests implemented right now, it’s in a far better place than where ATOM was when it launched on EA. That’s completely understandable and no one would blame you for skipping out on EA games, how good they may be. I also know that most people refrain from touching EA products because they do not want to experience games in short, disjointed bits and would rather wait for the full release. Now, I know that Early Access doesn’t have the best reputation these days thanks to STEAM’s glowing ‘quality control’ and the actions of several shady developers. That means that what’s on offer right now is just a fraction of what the final game will encompass. Like ATOM before it, Trudograd is in Early Access for about 6-8 months. ![]() The promise of exploring the mysteries of a vast, ruined cityscape untouched by atomic radiation yet plagued by asshole wastelanders was all the motivation I needed to pack my proverbial survival kit and head out for Trudograd (that, and the fact that playing and reviewing ATOM RPG was one of my fondest gaming memories from 2018).īefore we begin, let’s address the mutated elephant in the room. There you must find what is thought to be humanity’s last hope in fending off the menace from outer space!” In the words of the developers, “your goal is to travel to a giant post-apocalyptic metropolis that withstood the tests of nuclear obliteration and social collapse. Trudograd promised to deliver an improved yet focused post-apocalyptic adventure centered around the titular city in the fallen Soviet Union. This is how I was sold on ATOM RPG Trudograd, the standalone expansion to AtomTeam’s hit CRPG. At the same time, I can’t think of a modern RPG that takes place entirely or at least centered around a massive city and its various districts alone. There’s something satisfying about walking into the safety of a walled-up city after a long day of adventuring and window shopping for that one infinity+1 weapon you just can’t afford right now. Vault City from Fallout, Amn from Baldur’s Gate II, Sigil from Torment, Mournhold from Morrowind, and Novigrad from The Witcher 3 holds special places in my heart, with Tarant from Arcanum occupying the number one spot. I love well-designed cities in role-playing games.
