Executed with the left bumper, when timed right it ‘crystallizes’ enemies – not just parrying their attack but flat-out leaving them frozen in glistening rock for a few precious moments where you can wail on them. The star of the show from practically the first fight I played is a counter. This wisely isn’t one of those – but what you get instead is a scrappier, looser third-person action-adventure with just a little touch of that crunchy, heavy souls-style combat injected into it. That is also Atlas Fallen.ĭeveloper Deck13 is most well-known for The Surge and Lords of the Fallen, both ‘Soulsy’ sort of games. It wasn’t as lavish or as expensive as some, but it had a whole lot of heart and was determined to bring together ideas and influences from a variety of places and execute on them in an interesting way. What I really mean is the general mood and feel - the vibe that game had at the time.
I don’t mean it’s a Zelda-alike, though there’s definitely Zelda-ish elements. I’m reaching around for a comparison point of what Atlas Fallen is like and struggling, but let me give you something more broad: it’s got big Darksiders energy.
You know why? ‘Cos Atlas Fallen really sorta slaps. But I kept going - kept playing, kept reloading, kept letting the autosave gods rescue me. So when I played Atlas Fallen, I experienced a not-insignificant number of crashes to desktop. Oftentimes, especially where I played on PC, it’s about weird driver and hardware mismatches, the sorts of things that get mopped up as a game nears release. This happens with early builds all the time, so it’s not really a matter of alarm bells. This has been my experience with Atlas Fallen.
It’s not easy to form an opinion on an unfinished product in a very short amount of time - but let me tell you, it’s even more difficult when you run into technical issues. The combination of sand-infused weapons, shape-shifting abilities, and cooperative or solo gameplay options promises an immersive and thrilling gaming experience for players who are looking for a unique and action-packed adventure.Now, before I get into my brief time with a preview build of Atlas Fallen in earnest, a caveat. The visuals and atmosphere of Atlas Fallen are sure to captivate players, with its stunning sand-filled landscapes and ancient ruins that hint at a rich and intriguing lore. With its blend of hack and slash combat, customizable playstyle, and immersive world, Atlas Fallen is poised to be a thrilling and memorable gaming experience for players seeking a new and unique adventure. As players rise from the dust and unleash the storm in Atlas Fallen, they will embark on an epic quest to liberate mankind from the oppression of corrupted gods.
