So does this game play like Fallout? I dont mean is it like fallout, but does it play like it? As in, the game rules, movements, etc are like the ones in fallout? From reading that it's turn-based, strategy with rpg elements, it seems so to me.
I may not be the best to answer this since I like Groky 17 much better than Fallout, but here goes.
I think they are similar in that it is a turn based game and functions in a similar manner. However, I think moving and the overall ease of use in G17 are much better.
I also think the background scenery lends to the over all atmosphere of the game to a greater extent.
I guess it is like Fallout in some ways and has its own flare in other ways. I do think if you like Fallout it is worth giving it a shot. It is hard to picture not having some fun with this game if you like the turn base genre.

Yeah, problem is, I find myself on the edge of my seat when playing a turn based game, having to wait to see if the dice awards my attacks points, and then wait for the enemy's turn and see if the dice gives his attacks points. Drives me nuts. : D
I think I understand. No dice, but still you may miss if you are not facing the correct direction when you attack. It is a matter of correct weapon, distance, facing, and hopefully enough space to retreat.
You should DL the demo and give it a try, I think you will like it.

ok ill try it. Got a direct download of the demo? I cant find it anywhere. Another question, does this game run in software mode? Or does it need 3d hardware? Being so old, i dont think i'd want to install it in my main windows system. I was considering installing in a virtual environment.
Hello,
try to search for "Odium Demo" in google, for Gorky17 you won't find a demo, at least i wasn't able to find one which doesnt lead to a dead DL-link.
Have a nice day.
Here is a Filefront link for the Odium Demo. I dunno if the demo works on XP, but if it does, you're all set :)
