, "Nuclear Union", a party-based RPG set in post-apocalyptic Russia

[Dankk]

Not only does the game take place in Russia, but it's being made by Russian developers as well. Best Way (Men of War, Faces of War, Soliders of War, etc, etc) and 1C Company have teamed up to create it. Nuclear Union (the english title of the game) looks to have an atmosphere heavily inspired by STALKER.

Because it's Russian made, it very likely won't have the budget of say, an AAA title made by EA or Bethesda. I have a soft-spot for B-grade budget Russian games though. This will very likely be a day-1 purchase for me.

While the video doesn't show any gameplay, it's supposedly third-person and uses a party system. It uses the same engine used in Men of War, so I'm crossing my fingers that there will be destructible environments (but maybe that's just wishful thinking).

Looks good, I dig Russian games, they do a great job on their environments and make everything feel like it is truly run down. Sure their games are rough around the edges normally but otherwise they are usually great overall imo

Agreed. 1C have had some of the best series coming from there and one of my top 10 series (Star Wolves) was Russian, from 1C and as buggy as hell but just sheer genius incarnate if you had the patience.

Reminds me of Stalker.

Their FAQ is a bit vague right now on what combat will consist of, but I'm hoping it's not a third person shooter. If it uses the RTS strengths of the engine, I'll be pretty excited to see where this game heads.

RPG?
THIRD PERSON??
Stalker-esque?

I know it's been a while, but the devs recently posted a preview article on Facebook, and I thought people would be interested. Here are some details on the game's storyline and mechanics: http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/article?articleid=221

1C won't get back into my good graces until they fix the atrocious King's Bounty: Warriors of the North.

Good luck there. It is russian it will be buggy but it might still be fun 🙂

Anyway I'll bite on this if it is fun even if it is buggy and yes King's bounty warror of the north suck. To be honest I think they tried to make it too big.

men of war or faces of whichever one i played the demo for was terrible. this sounds interesting so hopefully they can pull it off.

Game in a setting (post apocalyptic), genre (RPG), and viewpoint (third person) I love that doesn't mention Kickstarter? Where do I sign up?

Looks great. Hope it has good survival horror elements.

This looks interesting... ever since I tried FO3 I like these types of settings.
