Wow, you're awfully kind to us! Thanks! I really mean it! Though I did scream at the screen a few times when you were genociding everyone ;((( Even tho I feel like this is our least polished game, esp compared to Swordhaven, we did leave a lot of peaceful talkie-talk routes for every single quest, from the main one to random unmarked fetch-style ones. Your review really steps up from the classic "let's see how they mindlessly copied fallout" ones we sometimes get. Even in this kill everyone route you paid so much attention to the little stuff that really mattered to us as we made this thing. We are the biggest fans of Fallout we personally know, but the goal always was to port the beloved premise onto the phantasmagorical caricature of our own 90's experiences, and not just clone for profit. Thanks for hinting at this. Also, lovely score system! Hugs and kisses from the team xoxoxoxo

The tipping point for me on ATOM was in the middle of the early game grind I found a very wealthy caravaner (M16, power pistol, 5 DR armor, several thousand rubles) and I couldn't afford any of the stuff I wanted but it was all the best stuff for my build. But I could afford the timed explosives, so I bought them and blew up the caravaner and his guards, and steamrolled the rest of the game (having to save scum mercenary encounters). That's when I knew the FIASCO was strong with this one.

[@lolasdm6959]

Art of trade

[@jimsidewinder8622]

The M16 is pretty underpowered, though (most NATO-style weapons in ATOM-verse is, in my experince). If you do the ciggy trick on one of the bunker guards underneath Krasnoz's city hall, you get a AKMS and some pretty decent body armor. You can also just ciggy-trick the merchants, in order to avoid the ill-fated merc encounter.

[@Vityaz-of-Rus]

Hell ye

[@alexanderrahl7034]

The merc encounters are really well programmed in this game, i say that despite how redfaced mad they made me. I apparently must have killed some caravaner at some point, and put the game down for a while afterwards. I come back with renewed interest months later, and encounter the mercs. I die easily. I reload and encounter them again, and die. I reload and encounter them again, and die. I reload and try to talk my way out, I die. I reload and having reached the stage of apathy, I say "fuck this piece of shit stupid fucking bullshit fa**ot ass game." And dig my own grave, and... they let me live. But they stole most of my stuff. A light bulb goes off in my head then. I think "okay, so if I leave my most valuable gear in a stash nearby, then I can encounter them and repeat that encounter. Then they'll just steal my garbage instead of my actual gear. I reload, stash my gear and spend the next 30 minutes wandering around trying to force the encounter and it never happens. I go back and get my stuff, and mere moments after leaving my stash with my gear again, I get the encounter. I quit the game and regretted ever buying it, not understanding why this was happening to me and assuming I had been softlocked. Took me weeks to check the discussions on steam long enough not to start fuming over it. Figured out why it was happening to me. Props to the devs, they actually account for players trying to stash their gear away lol.

[@brianjohnson4730]

@@alexanderrahl7034 There are a LOT of little touches like that in the game. I did bunker 317 at pretty low levels with Fidel. If you try to stash your gear before coming out and getting robbed the robbers will know and kill you, depending on your inventory weight going in and coming out. But if you are poisoned when you come out they will assume you're infectious and run away. This game lets you think around almost every encounter. Likewise if you engage in extreme behavior you will face some pretty extreme consequences.

I always liked the depiction of the ‘raider’ faction in Atom, as they’re more like a protection racket than the a raider faction like the Khans. Plus fulfilling their quest line till the end leads to the best outcome for Otradnoye, very similar to the Blue shields quest line in FO Sonora. Very powerful FIASCO energy with that one.

[@Idazmi7]

Somewhat similar to the situation in Adytum in the first Fallout.

[@SOLARITY333]

I feel like a faction which subsists entirely off raiding would die out very quickly. Therefore, it makes sense that due to natural selection, any raider factions would resemble organised crime syndicates (albeit crude) rather than gangs of roving marauders. It shows that the developers actually thought about how a raider society would develop over the years, unlike the modern Bethesda Fallout titles. Packs of drug-addled hyper-violent fiends would be commonplace 5 years after the apocalypse, but not 20 or 200.

@@SOLARITY333 Especially since the leader is ex-KGB.

Hey man, there's this really cool parameter called 'Luck.' I cranked it up to 10 just for fun, and throughout the game, I encountered some hilarious moments where I completely avoided battles because of my luck.

[@Milkex]

Thank you so much for posting once a month! I'm not saying that to pressure you in any way to strain yourself to put out content at a rate you dont enjoy, I only say it to thank you for all of the great videos. new patron incoming

[@thepackardgoose5180]

I did a run of atom RPG and trudograd at the end of last year. Really solid games with an intriguing setting. Hope they end up making a sequel

[@mattshuey1]

Greetings from USA warlockracy! I just wanted to comment and say you provide me a very new very interesting view of a part of the world we generally don't get taught about much over here. Been a fan for years and never commented and figured now is a good time to tell ya how much I value your content!

[@Tinyuvm]

Now I'll wait anxious for the other slav fallout inspired game "Encased" !

[@SecuR0M]

The yin to ATOMs yang.

[@bartib3rt]

Surprised there was no mention of the encounter with the three dudes who are trying to work out which one them is a mimic. Genuinely mood setting encounter outside of the usual combat, and I still think about how ominous it is frequently.

[@dodderythedromedary6890]

He didn't mention how the 2 self taught scientists in the roaring forest at 9:25 are actually the same person but gender swapped from a different universe, so you can see them both, but they can't see each other, felt as though it's a cool little factoid.

[@nabilmasud4086]

I rewatch your videos all the time so getting a new video is amazing

[@GabrielAugustomisterkakuna]

last time i was this early the VDV still had air support

[@ФомаФиллипов-я5б]

Finally, the Warlockracy video I've been dreaming of

[@DanDirik]

Low key one of the funniest games in my opinion. Remember the early kickstarter era, when every video game writer was trying to be Avellone only to end up looking like a failed English majors that they are? None of that bullshit here. Those bottom dialogue options where you would cut off the poor NPCs trying to tell their life story. The recurring joke about having to ask the same questions to everyone as the part of A.T.O.M. education. Never really sticks out either, the whole world has gone crazy. Mmmm makes me wanna play it all over again

[@armyboy414]

I've been waiting for this video since I found your channel from the Sonora video. I have also visited Lenin in August of this year. He looks pretty good for his age.

[@drakethedrake]

I had a lot of fun playing this a couple years ago. I appreciated that it felt quite authentic to how Fallout is. I need to play Trudograd sometime which I suspect will also be quite fun. I always found it odd when people reviewing the game would comment stuff like they wish it had a cover system or other random stuff. Which only showed that the person reviewing it wasn't keeping in mind that ATOM is supposed to feel like Fallout, warts and all. I'd recommend a second playthrough sometime to check out some of the questlines you may have missed. Peregon has some interesting stuff related to it especially with the dungeon. Another thing I remember at Bunker 317, if you try to dump all your stuff inside before dealing with the scavengers outside they're take notice of it which will cause problems.

[@Palora01]

While I do understand the ideea of trying to make the game as close to Fallout as possible changes were made to the formulla both to improve it and fix it so why not also improve the combat which is probably the game's most disappointing aspect? Besides the obvious time, money and effort limitations. In other words: I understand why it is like that but I wished it was better and more complex and know more people would enjoy the game if it was.

[@castobac]

you are my favorite youtube channel. the low audio quality really makes me feel like i am talking obscure video games over a vodka in the russian provinces

[@Crusader-m8y]

The combat in this game surprisingly looks fantastic. I'll play it.

[@ZombieDragQueen]

12:58 the glove with whip sign belongs to neofolk band Death In June. The band uses another similar sign/logo but with a Totenkopf. One of my favourite post-industrial bands.

[@BoisegangGaming]

11:34 I can never tell if this is satire or if some russian dude was insane enough to actually think the queen of England was telepathically protecting gay thoughts into his brain. Talk about mental gymnastics.

[@МятныйПукеш]

Russians sitting on Fallout forums are some of the strangest people I've ever interacted with

[@Wormopera]

I mean, there's like a 1% chance for it

[@uselesstin8000]

surely it must be exaggeration---- Or not, decided to look up that forum. I dont quire understand the context, but it features both mentioning of gay communities and queen with a mental disability slur adjective. He surely has some thoughts about both topics. Whats funny he mentions her as in "their ******** queen". Typical, the usade of "they/thier" as if gays, queen of england and others are single entity aimed to destroy family values and whatever. i can totally see it now. good question what he does around gay communities tho👀

[@Supercohboy]

@@МятныйПукеш To be honest, this is true of all forums in every language/national majority, especially post-Facebook/Twitter and especially for fan and gaming forums. Forums boomed and busted, so there was this effect where only the few odd dregs remained using them. The people remaining and active on these forums, especially for older games and especially nowadays, tend to be very strange people. Especially if the forums have crappy admins/mods, which is absolutely an issue in a lot of forums online that causes all the non-weirdos to go elsewhere to discuss things.

[@dawsonbarnes6109]

Everytime warlockracy uploads a new video it makes my day, keep up the good work man, your content always picks me up when im down 👍

[@unexpected9370]

the lenin lore is hyperbolic and amazing. i love it

[@farboud3671]

Where has this channel been all my life?

[@trifontrifonov4297]

Its a great game tha i played just in time to take away the pain of betrayal from Fallout 4, a game that will fail the FIASCO test. I really love how low tech the game starts. You may find a gun that's completely useless because it requires bullets you cant afford or find. But that works well with the crafting system. A high Int skill monkey build can trive in this game. Also the tipping point for my play throughs is the coal quest where you guard the caravan and are attacked. It usually when my character graduates from civilian weapons to military hardware.

[@999_tug2]

I have an essay due in 4 hours but when i saw you posted, I realized where my priorities are at.

[@cburger4life144]

Man, I really love getting to hear your perspective on things.

[@NegaGoDThe]

Awesome video, but honestly there's a lack of attention to the themes of ATOM RPG, that's both ties this game to fallout and separates it from western and eastern market. From overall theme of cynical melancholism, where you pick between bad and worst options, nothing really matters in the end and people will always suffer from those grandouse plans of others and the only creature with optimism for the future is literally a mushroom, to the theme soviet mystical folkism, where all the mundane is spiced with all the fantastical (im surprised you didn't talk about parasite encounter or slenderman hermit one), to the fact that you have the option to turn down any reward for no benefit at all (no bonus exp or karma points) other than just being called a good (or stupid) person, to humanizing every aspect of your interaction with npcs and literally giving everyone a human face (for example you forced to bribe policeman or you won't get peacefully into big city and every other policeman, like 10 to 15 of them, inside will have their own unique to their character thoughts on this fact, ranging from "i disagree with, but theres nothing you can do" and "i will have a sirious talk with him" to "I would've taken more" and "do you want more problems?". All this is very interesting commentary on late soviet culture and i hope someone else will dig further into this.

[@Netchus]

Thank you very much for reviewing this love letter to classic fallout

[@MLPDethDealr32]

33:21 that has to be a DOOM reference XD.

[@Zaper66]

This game is perfect for this channel, I was wondering when you play it.

[@ЛевЗаиченко]

19:51 actually the sport version of pobeda did really exist

[@aquarius5264]

2:45 "gingerly explores huge hole in stomach - almost dead" this game is awesome

[@SpecShadow]

"Gry łączą a nie dzielą" - random graffiti on the wall long before Polish translation was available... and then you had to wait for even more because they messed it up. IIRC Trudograd translation was OK? with no dramas or messes. I do remember being puzzled at not being able to craft homemade healing items because it would only accept one material (headscarf iirc) and no other types or rags or bandanas and whatever. Would really help in the begining, but nope - would be too easy, I guess? The battle on the junkyard was amazing. And got car! Kinda weird you fill plastic bottles with petrol for your car, don't remember such weird concept in my country post '89 post apo...
