Atomic Heart is a role-playing video game set in an alternate 1955 Soviet Union and featuring a mentally unstable officer as the protagonist, Atomic Heart promises to be an immersive experience unlike any other.
The game features a unique combat system that combines shooting and slashing with improvised weapons. Players can craft weapons from metal parts detached from robots or taken from household appliances, upgrade them through a mechanic called “casettes”, and equip them with various elemental effects using canisters. Additionally, players will have access to special powers granted by the Polymer Glove such as telekinesis, freezing and electricity. Ammunition is scarce in the game so players must also make use of sneaking options to survive.
Atomic Heart also has impressive technical specifications being developed on Unreal Engine 4 with Nvidia RTX and DLSS technologies implemented in the GeForce RTX graphics cards. This means that Atomic Heart will be capable of displaying beautiful graphics that take advantage of ray tracing technology for realistic lighting effects and shadows.
All in all, Atomic Heart looks to be an incredible experience for fans of FPS games filled with intense combat and immersive visuals set in a unique alternate timeline. With its release date just around the corner, gamers are sure to get their hands on this highly anticipated title early next year!
