Greetings! Thank you for your feedback! We're very sorry the beginning was rough for you, it is a sadly common thing we made sure to irradicate in the sequel Atom RPG: Trudograd, but we must say that melee builds are considered some of the best in ATOM RPG and can easily even solo the game. We really hope you will return to the game one day, as after getting acclimatized to the game, most players find it an enjoyable experience. 3 hours is really but a tiny part of the whole experience on offer here.
