Atomic Heart is an upcoming Action role-playing video game developed and published by Russian studio Mundfish. The game is planned for release for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Gameplay
Atomic Heart is a Action role-playing video game with FPS elements.[1] The combat in the game consists of shooting and melee swinging with improvised weapons. There is a crafting system where the weapons can be pieced together from metal parts that can be detached from robots or taken from household appliances. Ammo in the game is scarce and there is a sneaking option. Quick-time events are also featured in the game.[2]
Plot
Setting
Atomic Heart takes place in the Soviet Union in an alternative reality sometime between the 1930s and 1960s where technology like the internet, holograms and robots have already been invented. The main protagonist is a mentally-unstable KGB special agent called P-3. He was sent by the government to investigate a manufacturing facility that's fallen silent. [3]
Development
Atomic Heart implements Nvidia RTX and DLSS technologies in the GeForce RTX graphics cards.[4]
Controversy
In January 2019 a report was published on gaming forum ResetEra that cited anonymous sources within Mundfish who reported about mass layoffs and incompetency at the studio.[2][5][6] The report stated that development has been rebooted five months ago (August 2018) and it resulted in a gameplay downgrade.
