ATOM, the critically acclaimed CRPG from AtomTeam has received a new free update, bringing with it, quality of life improvements such as full Mod support, upgraded A.I, new characters, quests and a lot more.
In the words of the developers,
“Finally, it’s time for the big Update! We did a lot of work this time, and positive improvements have touched upon a lot of the game aspects. Playing ATOM is now genuinely more comfortable. The inventory management is easier, the interface in general is more intuitive, the follower mechanics have more options, the re-balancing of weapons made combat more dynamic and interesting, especially during the new random encounters.
And of course we added a lot of new NPCs, quests and maps for you to test all of the new features.”
