An interesting new clip shows that Atomic Heart players can blast the skin off enemy robots. This should come as no surprise, considering Atomic Heart's explosive combat, which allows gamers to use an expansive arsenal of weaponry to defeat their foes. Indeed, though some players have pointed out imperfections within the title, Atomic Heart is a fast-paced game at the very least. The new clip is simply the latest representation of the title's oddly detailed mechanics.
Some of Atomic Heart's features are arguably strange and inconsistent. From tentacles that allow players to loot entire rooms to Atomic Heart's unfortunate lack of custom FoV values, the new FPS from Mundfish certainly has its fair share of quirks. But the title can also be uniquely detailed, as demonstrated by the recent video from the Gaming subreddit.
Reddit user MEMEY_IFUNNY recently posted a video that shows a robot from Atomic Heart getting its skin blasted off. The enemy had already been defeated, with the clip showing a player vaporizing the robot's arm in mere moments. Many people were quick to comment, noting how odd it is that players can singe enemies but are unable to pop Atomic Heart's in-game balloons. Other users pointed out parallels between the robots in Atomic Heart and the synths from Fallout, which can also appear with missing skin or metallic body parts. Regardless of the title's similarities to other games, however, it is interesting to see the gameplay elements that Mundfish chose to include in its FPS.
Of course, the clip from MEMEY_IFUNNY isn't the only recent Atomic Heart development. There has been controversy surrounding the title since its recent launch. Ukraine is attempting to ban Atomic Heart because of possible ties to Russia. Coupled with an in-game cartoon that some players have called racist, it's safe to say that Atomic Heart is facing its fair share of backlash. While the future of the FPS game is a mystery, it seems like Mundfish has a lot of work to do if it's going to make the title suitable for all players.
For now, however, Atomic Heart remains an odd, intriguing, and unique game that definitely has some things to overcome. Atomic Heart's gameplay and details are nothing revolutionary, and the release of the title isn't going as Mundfish would have hoped. If the FPS game is going to be successful long-term, it will have to focus on quality changes over the small details that players have noticed since launch.
Atomic Heart is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
