Eastward is an enthralling post-apocalyptic RPG that allows you to play as two unlikely heroes, John and Sam, on a mission to redeem themselves.

Atom RPG is an old school post-apocalyptic game set in Russia. The character creation is reminiscent of games like Fallout, with skills, stats and traits that affect the game's difficulty.

There are plenty of NPCs with their own stories, as well as a main storyline to follow.


What we like:
  • Rich character customization options

  • Variety of NPCs with stories
