In June I was pleased and surprised to see Nuclear Union, a post-apocalyptic RPG, announced by 1c. What was most intriguing about that announcement was that the team making it was most famous for its strategy titles, culminating in the Men Of War games. It’ll even be a new version of the same engine which powers this new game. Therefore I just had to talk to director of game design Julia Romanova, and ask her a few questions about what her team is up to. You can find the answers below.

1C Company has also released some new screenshots for its upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG, that will sport free-roaming environments, Nuclear Union.

Kat Bailey: "It's probably best if I don't mince words here: Nuclear Union is basically a Fallout 3 clone, or close to one. Sure, it's at a bit of a disadvantage, since any game set in a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland is bound to invite comparisons with Interplay's opus. But honestly, the similarities are kind of hard to ignore."

Fortunately, this year seems to be one where a ton of great RPG titles are planned for release and if 10% of them are solid titles, we’re all set."
This is a list about RPG's, yet they knowingly list a game that is not an RPG. I guess they really just had to have a Top 5 list like every other website does these days.
