I’d take these accusations with a fistful of salt, especially considering the source is anonymous, though it certainly wouldn’t be the first time an over-ambitious studio over-promised and under-delivered. Inexperienced staff, sweeping layoffs, lack of vision, and allegations that the game won’t play out as it is marketed are amongst the most concerning points made. A post surfaced on ResetEra in 2019, describing a few serious red flags.
This isn’t to say that the development cycle of Atomic Heart has been smooth sailing. The developers have plenty of other ideas in the works too, with some degree of multiplayer, VR, and RTX support being some of the prime examples. Set in an eye-catching world populated by very unique creations, and (hopefully) include some pretty engaging gameplay. Though your mileage may vary, I think it aims to tell an interesting story. Generally speaking, Atomic Heart looks to be shaping up well. From the looks of the trailers, there seems to be a bunch of branching paths to your objective, with items to be scavenged along the way. Ammo seems to be scarce, the enemies quick and hard-hitting, and traps are likely to spell the end of the inattentive. CreativityĬreativity may well be a requirement when fighting in Atomic Heart. Hopefully, the mechanic will enable players to approach scenarios in different ways, if a bit of creativity is applied. The tendril-glove looks like it will be of use when sneaking around, able to highlight enemies from afar and behind cover.Īlternatively, Atomic Heart’s crafting system, dubbed Chaika 3.0, will enable you to customize some of the available weapons. Stealth will be an option, for those of you not terribly keen on facing a mess of sentient sinew head-on. With this handy bit of kit, you will be able to enhance the combat abilities of your weapons, belch ice from your palm, and suspend objects and enemies in mid-air. Melee weapons and firearms are to be expected, though tendrils from a futuristic gauntlet capable of manipulating matter are a bit less so. As far as how we can defend ourselves, there are a few confirmed methods at our disposal. With plenty more in the trailers if you’re interested. Baba, a lady trapped in goo, and a swift mass of blood and tendons are only a few such beasties. If the trailers are anything to go by, Atomic Heart is packed with unique, if a bit skin-crawling, enemies to contend with. With mountains, lakes, plains, tundra, and more, it seems like we’ll have an awful lot to get our teeth sunk into. The facility itself will be spread across an open-world map, with a variety of different environments teeming with whatever twisted creatures Mundfish have cooked up for us.
With exploration playing an important role in gameplay. Your foray into Facility 3826 will be open-ended.
Of course, there will be plenty of bloodthirsty robots and eldritch monstrosities to fight along the way. Sent to what remains of Facility 3826, you will be tasked with investigating the cause of the facility’s silence and preventing sensitive information from escaping into the wider world. This is where agent P-3, the presumed player character, comes in. Forming a hivemind known as the “Kollektiv”, the machines go forth and slaughter their former masters. At least until the point said robots stage a revolt against humans, perhaps dissatisfied with their position as glorified housemaids.
Though whether this will act as a backdrop or an integral part of the story is up in the air. It would appear that the ideological titans of Communism and Western imperialism still butt heads in this timeline. Though this time with a distinct shade of red. Robots, A.I, the Internet, and more have all been invented in this re-imagined USSR. One where instead of collapsing, it experiences a technological renaissance. The story takes place in an alternate universe Soviet Union.
