Here you learn how Atomic Heart’s combat functions, the importance of upgrading your weapons and abilities as well as the platforming that one will encounter.

The robots are suddenly turning on the humans they are meant to protect and you are hurled into a facility in a bid to find the person believed to be behind the robots turning from friend to bloodthirsty automatons. Facility 3826 is the location of a sort of concept city in which robots collaborate with humans, solar power runs everything and people zip from area to area using monorails and flying vehicles.Īfter players become acquainted with the movement system and CHARLES’ basic functionality, we are thrown into the thick of it. The country has experienced a technological boom since those days and machines have freed humans from physical labour. The story takes place in 1955 after Russia won World War 2, yes, won the war.

CHARLES is on-hand to help you lay waste to enemies. This glove is both your companion offering hints to the player and a tool that can be used to interact with the environment and lay waste to enemies. These humans are Polymerised, as is P-3 who also has access to a special glove called CHARLES. In addition, the good doctor is launching Kollectiv 2.0, a neural network that allows machines to communicate with each other and humans through something called a THOUGHT device. Players take on the role of Major Sergey “P-3” Nechaev who handles situations for one Dmitriy Sechenov.Īs it so happens Sechenov is a visionary who has created a substance known as Polymer which is used for, well, anything. It’s a pity then that the gorgeous art, landscapes and characters in Atomic Heart, don’t do much to overcome the game’s failings. That’s especially true here in the Hypertext offices where the first visuals we saw of this game captured and then held our attention. Looking to be part Fallout and part BioShock, the game has generated a significant amount of hype. The first game from Mundfish has been hotly anticipated since it was first announced in 2017.
