The greatest “what ifs” in human history has a tendency to take thinkers and historians on wild mental & conversational rides that, in truth, mean nothing but giving personal opinions. For gamers, alternate realities are less talking points and more about going into a different world than the one we know all-so-well and, most likely, shooting up everything trying to kill the protagonist. For developer Mundfish, the idea of creating a brave new world where Russia won World War II sounded like the perfect setting for some harrowing combat rooted in destroying man’s greatest and, now, most dangerous creation: robots.
As P-3, players are tasked with trying to right the wrong of a traitor to the Russian government while attempting to stay alive even with his scattered memory that hasn’t prevented him from remembering how to kill any and everything in his path. Listen to your talking glove, don’t get harassed by the vending machine, and enjoy these first impressions of “Atomic Heart”.
