I think we can all agree that robots are pretty cool. We can probably also agree that they can’t be completely trusted. Here is everything you need to know about Atomic Heart.

Atomic Heart takes place during a fictional, alternative reality version of the 1955 USSR. 

Following the invention of a special substance called Polymer in 1936, scientist Dimitri Sechenov launched a massive network of artificial intelligence called “Kollektiv”. The goal was to create AI assistants that could make the lives of humans easier by freeing them of manual labor. The good news is that it worked for nearly 2 decades before things took a turn for the worst.  

The game picks up during the launch of “Kollektiv 2.0” and a new device called “Thought” that would allow humans to control the network using their minds. Unfortunately the launch was sabotaged and as a result, robots began to attack humans leading to hundreds of deaths.

You play as Sechenov’s best agent, Major Nechaev aka P-3. Nechaev was named after the 3rd of the discovered radioactive elements, plutonium, an element that nearly took his life following laboratory exposure. The whole ordeal has left P-3 with a fragmented memory, PTSD, and metal prosthesis, but he still knows how to get a job done by any means necessary. As P-3, you are sent to the top secret military base Facility 3826 in order to investigate the incident and restore the neural network.

Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter action role-playing game, so you can expect to fire lots of weapons throughout your playtime of roughly 25 hours. Inside your arsenal are a mix of the latest developments in melee and ranged weaponry from Sechenov and Facility 3826. This list includes tools like a sharp ax, a modified electric rifle and most importantly the polymer glove. If you’re familiar with games like Bioshock then this glove’s power might sound similar to the left hand abilities of that game as you’ll be able to shoot electricity, ice and trigger telekinesis right from P-3’s fingertips. Inside the glove lives Char-Les, an AI sidekick that will provide story, objectives, and secrets as well as scan the area and hack other robots.
