No scores to round up yet

No outlet tracked by this site has published a scored review or embargoed impressions since the October 6, 2026 Early Access unlock, so there is nothing to round up yet; the Steam user-review section opened with the launch. A scores roundup is added here once scored coverage exists — no fixed deadline.

What has been reported so far

Every piece of pre-launch coverage this site tracks, in publication order. Summaries describe what each source says; the links take you to the originals.

RPGCodex — September 22, 2026

News post by Infinitron. The announcement report. It names Dieselship Studio as the developer, frames Olympus 2249 as the standalone sequel to Olympus 2207 — the Fallout 2 total-conversion mod — notes that playing the mod is not required, and carries the official announcement trailer.

ixbt.games — September 25, 2026

News report. A second announcement report with the most concrete gameplay wording available: a turn-based combat system in which players can take their time to plan positioning and actions. It identifies the developer as the Russian team behind the Olympus 2207 mod for Fallout 2. Read the ixbt.games report →

r/CRPG — September 2026

Community discussion thread. The subreddit’s announcement thread discusses Olympus 2249 as an isometric post-apocalyptic cRPG set in a brutal dieselpunk world, and is where the "Karmic Type" karma-in-dialogue system is named. Useful for early community reception and terminology; it is discussion, not a review. Read the r/CRPG thread →

Steam — Live listing, Early Access

Store page (app 5094490). The store listing itself: a single-player, turn-based cRPG and an atmospheric journey through post-nuclear dieselpunk America, dated October 6, 2026. The page left coming-soon state on October 6, 2026 and now offers the game in Early Access, so the Steam user-review section is now open. Open the Steam page →

What no source says yet

The questions a review page normally answers, and that this one deliberately does not:

  • Any review score, from any outlet. The game unlocked on October 6, 2026 and no review embargo coverage has been published yet.
  • Hands-on impressions. No source tracked here has published one.
  • Length, difficulty, or performance impressions.
  • Steam user review aggregate — the section has only just opened, and this page does not yet round it up.

Where these facts come from

Every entry below is labelled by what it is: a platform store listing, a press report, an official news feed, a video, or a community thread. No source here carries review scores or a price — where a page needs one of those, it says so instead of guessing.

  • Press report RPGCodex — Olympus 2249 announcement news (Infinitron, 2026-09-22) — The announcement report. Names Dieselship Studio as the developer, frames Olympus 2249 as the standalone sequel to Olympus 2207 — the Fallout 2 total-conversion mod — states that playing the mod is not required, and carries the official announcement trailer.
  • Press report ixbt.games — Olympus 2249 announcement report (2026-09-25) — A second announcement report.

  • Community thread r/CRPG — Olympus 2249 discussion thread — The community announcement thread. Describes an isometric post-apocalyptic cRPG in a brutal dieselpunk world and names the "Karmic Type" system — karma influencing dialogue. Community discussion, used for terminology and reception colour only.
  • Store listing Olympus 2249 on Steam (app 5094490) — The only storefront listing. Describes a single-player, turn-based cRPG and an atmospheric journey through post-nuclear dieselpunk America, dated October 6, 2026. On October 7, 2026 the listing no longer showed coming-soon state: it offers the game for purchase and carries an Early Access note stating that it "already includes all of the planned game systems and mechanics, as well as the first of the three story acts", with Early Access to be used to fine-tune RPG, combat and economy balance, flesh out the different playstyles, improve systems from player feedback and finish the story. No unlock hour was ever published. This site does not republish the price.
