If you like city-builders, you'll probably get your money's worth from Atomic Society. I really want to recommend this game, but I can't. The mechanics are very shallow, and a lot of the choices are very obviously 'correct'. There are UI annoyances (you have to micromanage your leader, and the game likes to unpause on its own).

There is no real game here. You just keep building the same things over and over to raise the level of the things your people need. That's it. It is extremely shallow and one dimensional and repetitive.
I had high hopes for this game. Played for a while and even after release. But then nothing happened. The updates stopped, the developer doesn't respond, and there's just... nothing to really do. There's so much more than can be done or can be made so much better, but the dev just up and ghosted. Save yourself the disappointment and move on.

Post Apocalyptic Town Building Where You Set The Laws
Can you rebuild a town that can keep hundreds of people alive after a nuclear war?
What kind of laws would you set - and how would you enforce them?
- SURVIVE. Starting out with nothing, slowly build a large settlement that can keep hundreds of people fed, watered, healthy, housed and entertained... if you can.
- CRIME. Citizens commit crimes and enact a wide range of social issues as you play.
- JUDGE. Act as judge over a range of real-world social issues including abortion, murder, vegetarianism, drug use, cannibalism, and several other controversial topics.
- PUNISH. Choose execute, long or short prison sentences, toleration and even encouragement for all issues that happen in your town.
- CONTROL. Create and control your own leader character. Use this person to help build your town, or explore the world for salvage and upgrades. Walk around your town up close.
- BELIEVE. Pick what you believe and share that with others through violence, exile or education.
- EXPAND. Convert ruined houses and offices into useful buildings or loot them for supplies. Research new buildings and trade excess goods.

Love the visuals and the side missions. The character banter is top tier.

Story is solid and the combat feels great, just wish there was more UI customization.

I keep coming back after every update. The new scenes were worth it.
