Idle Atomic

I don't understand the negative reviews. It's a pretty fun game. Few tips for starters, get the auto salvager early for offline gains, save your Nuclear Material so you can get magnetic mittens early, prestige every chance you get and stockpile items so you can upgrade skills later on. If your able, log in every 8 hours to keep your " Steam Boost" going at all times.

Wish I could recommend/upvote this game but the game-breaking save bug that the notes claim is rare happens ANY time the game closes/crashes unexpectedly. I lost my last save with nearly 500hrs in 6/7 achievements +80% completion. I just don't have the will to get back there again. Maybe one day this will get fixed but there has already been two or three patched attempts.

This game is FUN! Too fun... No wait. I mean to say addictive. Or... is the real issue that it seems too needy? Let me get more to the point... This game has everything you would want and expect from a wasteland apocalypse game, and it can be played as an idle game for a while, but the issue I am having is that its constantly squawking with birds and notifications to get me to click inside it for a resource. I could turn off those noises, but then I'd miss some important and rare stuff which will help me progress into the game much faster. Which means more likely that I am over stimulated by this game. I drag my mouse back and forth to collect all the trash piles and bugs that spawn, plus the loot bugs and the 10 minute free ad drone (steam does not allow ads, so its free resources). Then the base crafting timer is about a minute long, so I am constantly back into the game to click it twice, then the other craftables. I feel like I can't leave it alone until I mute it all completely. What it tells me is that this game is very well designed to cause me to want to monitor it while doing other stuff, but has been designed to make me want to click on every junk pile to gain its scraps. Its taken a lot of effort to build up my character to be capable of auto looting junk piles and auto catching creatures. Earlier I also unlocked the auto loot for chests. But there is also a task to do, which renews itself once completed, which grants a task token to spend towards progressing your abilities within the game. If I could sum up this game in just a few words, it would be that this game is very needy for your wanted attention, and that is wearing me out. Save yourself some stress levels and just go play a version of Fallout.
