When bots go bad.

Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter game developed and published by Mundfish.

Set in an alternate reality Soviet Union, Atomic Heart takes you on an action filled adventure through a world filled with mystery, danger, and scientific experiments gone wrong. All with a sense of humour.

The game’s story follows an agent, P-3, tasked with investigating a top-secret research facility where things have gone awry.

But P-3, a war veteran also suffers from memory issues.

To start out with all is technology advanced in a idealistic communism nation where robots are there to serve humanity and everything is shiny and happy. but it’s not too last as the robots become very unhappy due to a malicious scientist that send out a program advising the robots that humans are the enemy.

Atomic Heart is filled with intricate, beautifully designed environments that are both eerie and open. The game’s art style is heavily influenced by the retro-futuristic aesthetic of the Soviet Union, and this is reflected in everything from the game’s architecture to the technology used by the characters.

Weapons and abilities that P-3 will gain in Atomic Heart is super unique and fits perfectly to this dystopian take of post war Soviet Union.

Your mainstay is your glove. Permanently fixed to your left hand you’ll use it for many objectives in the game, from opening electronic locks, absorbing data and bursts of EMP. The glove is almost another character in itself.

There’s a variety of weapons and abilities that you will use to take down enemies, with a combination of melee attacks and ranged weapons to fight their way through, at times hordes of enemies, and you’ll also use a variety of gadgets and special abilities to gain the upper hand in combat.

Weapons can be upgraded depending on how much scrap and metal components you find throughout play.

You’ll encounter a variety of robotic enemies throughout the game, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses and  can also interact with a variety of AI characters, some of whom may be friendly and helpful, while others may be hostile or untrustworthy.

Overall, Atomic Heart is a fun ride, with enough gadgetry and cyberpunk-like weapons to make it an almost stand-out title.
