The Romanian studio Babadokia presents RadCity: A Post-Apocalyptic Adventure, an RPG video game that evokes the atmosphere of the original Fallout games. With an isometric perspective in the style of Baldur's Gate, it immerses us in an industrial city in Eastern Europe devastated by nuclear war. The free demo on Steam already allows exploring its ruins, solving puzzles, and managing resources, with the ultimate goal of finding a way to escape. Its release is planned for the end of 2026.
A Custom Engine to Revive Isometric Nostalgia 🛠️
Babadokia has developed RadCity using its own graphics engine, designed to offer that detailed isometric view and precise tactical control. The game implements a day/night cycle with consequences, where seeking shelter before nightfall becomes a priority. The current demo, which offers between 30 and 90 minutes of gameplay, serves to test these core mechanics and the environmental narrative, which bets on exploration and decision-making with weight in the world.
Because going out at night in a radioactive city is a bad idea ☢️
The game reminds us of a vital lesson: after a nuclear apocalypse, curfew is not a municipal suggestion, it is a law of nature. While in other RPGs you worry about equipment, here your biggest concern is finding a roof that doesn't leak radiation before the sun sets. It's the only stay at home plan that can literally save your skin. A very convincing way to encourage indoor life.
