I had high hopes for this game as I really enjoyed Fallout.

This game is not Fallout. The look is similar and some of the weaponry is interesting, but any positive qualities are grossly overshadowed by the horrid dialogue. It seems like a non-english speaker has created scripts that they think Americans (or other english speakers) will think are "cool". It reminds me of the Kung-Fu movies that have been dubbed in english but with more profanity and less intelligence and cohesion.

The quests were mindless and you can't interact with most of the characters. One quest involved leaving a building and retrieving an object that was placed right next to the door of the building you just left and bringing it back inside. That's it!
The story line is very linear as well.

I couldn't play it for more than an hour or so. You should only get this if you want to see an excellent example of a really bad game.

Well it's not Fallout...

Although it looks alot like it. Like Fallout the combat is turned based, but not nearly as easy to figure out. The manual lacks instructions and in fact cannot even be called a manual, but a quick start guide. The translation from I believe Russian to English is not the best. The voice acting is horrific and the constant use of swearing detracts from the game. Too bad they didn't put in the option to filter obscenities. There are alot bugs that hopefully will be worked out with an upcoming patch. Also, when first inserting the disc it took forever for the installation screen to come up.

This game is not all bad. There are many quests, albeit the fed-ex variety and once you get the hang of combat it can be fun. It is hard to get over the fact that it looks like Fallout but in no way compares to the enjoyment of that game. If you go into the game without comparing it to Fallout, mute it and just play it for what it is it can be a somewhat enjoyable and reasonably priced rpg.

Considering there are very little rpgs to choose from out there that focus more on role playing than combat this might be worth checking out, but you may want to wait for the patch to come out.

First off this game is not set in russia. Not even the cold war. Hell its not even set on earth. The game is however very much like fallout in that you have mutants, cyborgs, and a similar levelup system. However as of right now the game has many bugs but a patch is going to be released soon (already released in russia) that is reported to fix most of the bugs.

Disappointing

Pros: Graphics were ok. The cutscenes are nice. Granted, it's not Myst.

Cons: Ah... where do I begin? I was really disappointed with this game. I can only play for less than 5 minutes before the game would suddenly crash. It happened every time I play, whether I chose to do a new game or do the tutorial.

Then there's the swearing. Lanthan curses and swears at *every* single sentence that he utters. And there's no option to turn them off, either.

Finaly, the controls. The movements of the cursor were slow. It takes a bit of maneuvering just to get it to where you want to go.

Overall, I could have lived with the swearing and the lousy controls. But the constant crashing is a pain. I don't know if it's just my laptop or the game itself. It's definitely not worth the money I paid for.

massive disappointment

This quite possibly is the worst game I have seen in some time. I have had more entertainment with mine sweeper. I rarely have the desire to write reviews, but this game is so bad I had to write something.
Pros: The theme was promising. The graphics were adequate.
Cons: The interface is poor. The gameplay is sluggish and uninspired. The story is not laid out well. The game has poor character development and no attribute system. Weapons and equipment have no real stats. Manual is terrible.
