PayPalIf you love classic Fallout and Wasteland styled tactical CRPGs, you may want to keep an eye on the newly announced ATOM RPG 2. Coming from AtomTeam who also made ATOM RPG, ATOM RPG Trudograd, Bombagun and Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy - they're bringing us more tactical action and exploration.
So far details are light on it, as they've only just recently put up a teaser video and made the Steam page live so we'll get more info about it all eventually.
Check out the teaser below:

The Steam page is light with only this noted:
ATOM RPG 2 is a story-heavy tactical CRPG set in a world where the Cold War turned hot. Explore a living open world with vertical level design, tactical battles, and an interactive world map. Take part in numerous side activities: such as fishing, building, racing, and more, while expanding your influence and control over the land. Remember: your choices not only shape a resurrecting civilisation, but may also prevent a new apocalypse looming on the horizon...
The official site is even lighter on details.
Seems like it's going to be even weirder than the previous entries, and if you look at the first set of screenshots there's some sort of portal being shown too which may be to do with this new apocalypse mentioned in the quote from the Steam page above:
It appears it will once again have Native Linux support too like all their previous games.

I really liked the very "out there" storyline of the first one.
I loved Trudograd, and right now waiting on the 1.1 to play Swordhaven. It's VERY difficult to not fire it up right now and get started though.

Let's hope they nail the dialogue this time.

Quoting: ExpalphalogAtom just didn't hit for me and I don't know why. I love tactical CRPGs. I love the old Fallout games. I love the first two Wasteland games (haven't gotten around to trying 3 yet). I played Atom for around 23 hours and then quit though, which is very rare for me. Usually I either abandon games within the first 3 hours or I play them all the way through barring game-breaking bugs.You gotta give #3 a go! It's SOOOO GOOD. I didn't like the overworld traversal all that much, but EVERYTHING else is so well done. The humor is great, and it's got such a good power creep. Mid-game when your builds finally start shining it's just crazy fun to unleash all hell in random encounters.
