How about this... a post apocalypse party-based RPG in Russia, using the Men of War/STALKER graphics engine game. Essentially imagine STALKER RPG, I mean a proper RPG. Nuclear Union is being developed by Best Way and published by 1C Company. Interestingly the game is set in 2012, it's an alternate universe where the cold war went hot right after the Cuban missile crisis. Not much info on the gameplay yet and the trailer is more CG stuff. My curiosity is piqued though, as a Russian made Fallout'ish game with STALKER sensibilities is... tantalising. Nuclear Union is planned for a 2013 release. Trailer below...
«…And now about the weather in Pobedograd. It is mainly sunny today, with winds coming out of the north-east at 10–20 mph. Daytime temperatures are expected to be about 70-74°F with 46–50°F at night. There’s a slight possibility of pseudo-snowfall if the wind changed direction. The Radiation level at the Garden Ring is 18-51 roentgens per hour. The thermal anomaly activity is within the normal range…»
The USSR vs. USA faceoff known as the Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved by force in 1962 as the entire planet became involved in a nuclear war. With half of the Earth’s population dead, almost the entire planet surface became unfit for living due to radioactive contamination. However the Soviet Union was ready for such an outcome. The military machine had mobilized and was operating at full throttle sometime prior to the world catastrophe. The country underwent a full evacuation of the citizens, industrial facilities and companies of the utmost importance to a pre-built network of specially equipped bunkers.
50 years later. 2012… The fragments of the socialist empire that were hastily brought underground have gradually become a real state with its own capital, a city called Pobedograd. The key goals of the Nuclear Union used to be, and still are, the survival of the population and the restoration of an industrial base against the background of the aggressive environment.The powerful Soviet empire even survived the end of days. Survived and continued to develop in an absolutely new and vulnerable world. This unusual story of unusual people starts here, underground, in Pobedograd.
The protagonist of Nuclear Union is a Soviet officer pilot who participated in the nuclear bombing of the USA. This past of his is nothing compared to what he is about to live through in this new dangerous world, bathed in the rays of merciless radiation.
It is common knowledge that anyone who’s about to face danger should always be holding a weapon in their hands. Experts of firearms will love the range of weaponry to fight enemies included in Nuclear Union. The arsenal of those who survived the nuclear apocalypse, and the decimation of the military complex, led to the best Soviet fire arms that never went into mass production being preserved in the Nuclear Union as operational prototypes. For instance, a three-barreled submachine gun TKB-059, AO-46 (aka “Soviet UZI”) for 5.45 mm bullets, and the TKB-022PM bullpup assault rifle.
You have lots of questions now Comrade. Be patient. And note that Pobedograd will stand regardless. It will survive because of you.
