Gamescom 2022 kicked off its opening night on Tuesday, covering a handful of really interesting titles. From Goat Simulator 3 to The Callisto Protocol, the annual expo held in Germany definitely showed a little something for everyone.
Now, just a couple of days later, we get a look into something truly spectacular- Atomic Heart. Out of nearly all of the games talked about up until now, this is one we are most excited about. Developed by Mundfish, Atomic Heart is one of those rare titles that has us foaming at the mouth at its sheer awesomeness.
Check out the insanely awesome trailer and see what we mean:
A system failure at Soviet Facility № 3826 leads machinery to rebel against the people. You are Major P-3, Private Agent, and your task is to minimize the consequences of this ‘systems failure’ and prevent the leakage of classified information.
To succeed, you’ll have to do your homework and study every deadly foe to avoid becoming their next victim, for secret experiments have led to the emergence of terrifying mutants, implacable machines, and bloodthirsty creatures.
Not only is that description super badass, but this game also looks incredible in every way imaginable. From the unique style of gameplay, the monsters, the abilities, and the graphics, Atomic Heart has absolutely everything we look for in a game.
In what Mundfish describes as “a close world action RPG”, Atomic Heart takes place in an alternate 1950s era within the Soviet Union. Robotics has advanced and now are rebelling against their human creators. But the dangers these mechanical creations pose are not the only threat. Dark experiments performed in secret have resulted in horrifying mutations that are out for blood. You will have to use every weapon, skill, and ability at your disposal if you are to survive.
