The game is set in an alternate history version of the Soviet Union, during the 1950s. Initially depicted as a retrofuturistic utopia, the game follows the quick collapse of the Soviet Union into a dystopia, after a robot uprising begins.

Atomic Heart was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on February 21, 2023. The game received mixed reviews from critics, and received controversy over its reported links to Russia. It gained numerous awards and was on the list of top 10 most searched games of 2023 by Google.[1][2][3]

Gameplay

edit

Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter video game with role-playing elements.[4][5][6] The combat consists of shooting and slashing with improvised weapons and using telekinetic skills. A wide variety of enemies are featured, among which are robots, interconnected into a single network, and even mutants.[7] A crafting system allows the player to piece weapons together from metal parts that can be detached from robots or taken from household appliances. Ammo in the game is scarce, so the player also has the option to use rechargeable energy guns.[8] Quick-time events are featured in the game.[9]

The player wears a special glove, the Polymer Glove, which grants powers such as telekinesis, freezing, shield, electricity and others to defeat foes. Its powers can be combined with both melee and ranged weapons.[10]

Weapons can be upgraded and embedded with various elemental effects using cartridges. These cartridges can be looted, crafted and equipped by the player on both melee and ranged weapons.[11]

To cover distances faster in certain large open spaces, players can use cars left in these areas.[12] Players also have to solve various puzzles that are encountered throughout the main campaign and side Polygons (Testing Grounds).[13] After one of the released patches in June 2024, the game also offers accessibility settings, which include not only puzzles auto-solve, but also colorblind mode, auto QTE, auto-heal, and some others.[14]

Plot

edit

Setting

edit

Atomic Heart takes place on the grounds of Facility 3826, the Soviet Union's foremost scientific research hub in an alternate history 1955, located in the Kazakh SSR. In 1936, scientist Dmitry Sechenov developed a liquidized programmable module called the Polymer, sparking massive technological breakthroughs in the fields of energy and robotics in the USSR and freeing much of the populace from manual labor. When World War II broke out, the Soviets quickly gained the upper hand, but just before Nazi Germany was defeated in 1942, the Nazi Germany secretly unleashed the Brown Plague virus, leaving millions dead and creating an international demand for Soviet robots to compensate for the resulting worker shortage. As part of the Soviet Union's post-war reconstruction program, Dr. Sechenov created a wireless, networked artificial intelligence called "Kollektiv 1.0" that linked his robots together for greater efficiency.

Most recently, Sechenov developed the THOUGHT neuroconnector, a device that integrates Polymer into the human body and allows humans to remotely interface with robots. THOUGHT is to be released alongside Kollektiv 2.0, and Sechenov boasts that it will usher in a true post-labor era for the entire world.[15] However, Kollektiv 2.0's official launch on 13 June 1955 goes awry, plunging Facility 3826 into chaos.

Synopsis

edit

Major Sergey "P-3" Nechayev is a World War II veteran with memory problems, who was saved from a life-threatening injury in the past by Dmitry Sechenov. As Sechenov's agent, P-3 is invited to assist in the rollout of Kollektiv 2.0 at Facility 3826, but he finds that the robots of the facility have gone rogue and massacred most human personnel. Sechenov explains that robotics designer Viktor Petrov sabotaged the Kollektiv 1.0 node and asks P-3 to apprehend Petrov. With his AI partner Char-LES (nicknamed "Charles") attached to his glove, P-3 is tasked with confronting homicidal robots and failed biomechanical experiments of Facility 3826.

P-3 tracks down Petrov and finds out that he is working with neurosurgeon Larisa Filatova. Petrov flees and is apparently killed by a robot. Meanwhile, the Politburo grows suspicious about what is happening. Yegor Molotov, a member of the Politburo threatens to shut down Sechenov's "Atomic Heart" project. Charles explains to P-3 that Sechenov and the Politburo are in a struggle over who will control Kollektiv. Sechenov orders P-3 to intercept Molotov, but once P-3 makes contact, he blacks out and wakes up to find Molotov murdered. Sechenov later informs P-3 that Petrov is still alive, placing his THOUGHT tracker on a dead corpse with the assistance of Filatova.

P-3 finds Petrov at Maya Plisetskaya Theater, who rants about how Sechenov plans to enslave the world. He tells P-3 that the rogue robots had a combat mode installed beforehand, which was part of their initial design. Petrov then gives P-3 a pair of rings and commits suicide. When Sechenov asks about the rings, P-3 lies, and concludes that Sechenov and the Politburo's "Atomic Heart" project involves distributing combat robots disguised as civilian robots to seize nuclear power plants. P-3 takes Petrov's head to Michael Stockhausen's lab to extract his memories, but Filatova destroys the machine, kills Stockhausen and knocks P-3 out.

When P-3 wakes up, Filatova contacts him and meets him in secret at a secluded area in Facility 3826. She reveals to him that Kollektiv is a means to mind-control people, and Filatova was in charge of the facility that houses numerous volunteers of the project. P-3 also discovers that Charles isn't an AI, but rather the preserved consciousness of Chariton Zakharov, Sechenov's colleague and a fellow researcher presumably murdered by Sechenov. Using Zakharov's security clearance, they uncover more of P-3's past: he was previously critically injured in a mission in Bulgaria alongside his wife and fellow agent, Ekaterina. While Ekaterina did not survive, Sechenov managed to fix P-3's brain injury by installing a Polymer implant, erasing memories of Ekaterina while also implanting her memories into robotic ballerina bodyguards called the Twins. In doing so, Sechenov gains control over P-3. Furious, P-3 decides to confront Sechenov. However, he blacks out again and wakes up in the care of his mother-in-law, Zinaida Muravyova, who has been anonymously assisting him throughout his mission in Facility 3826. She reveals that P-3 had killed Filatova while blacked out. At this point, P-3 can either choose to leave Facility 3826 or confront Sechenov, resulting in different endings.

If P-3 refuses to confront Sechenov, he destroys Zakharov and slips out of Facility 3826 and disappears, allowing Sechenov to continue with his plans to activate Kollektiv 2.0. Zakharov is shown to still be alive as a small mass of living Polymer and he manages to escape as well.

If P-3 chooses to confront Sechenov, he goes to Sechenov’s office. P-3 and Zakharov argue with Sechenov briefly before the latter orders the Twins to kill P-3. After P-3 defeats Sechenov’s guards, Sechenov draws a pistol but P-3 uses his glove to snatch it from him and shoots Sechenov in the gut instead. While lying bleeding on the floor, Sechenov reveals that Zakharov used P-3’s Polymer implants to cause his blackouts, killing Molotov and Filatova. P-3, now furious at Zakharov, attempts to rip him from his glove, but Zakharov electrocutes and incapacitates him before he escapes the glove in a form of gray goo. Zakharov reveals his manifesto as he jumps into a vat of red Polymer, transforming it into a massive, black humanoid body that houses him, planning to exterminate the human race with Polymerize Beings. Zakharov picks up the wounded Sechenov and breaks his neck, killing him. It was later reported that Zakharov consumed Sechenov's body, then fled and disappeared from the scene. P-3 later reawakens and finds himself in an illusion before one of the Twins descends upon him with an outstretched hand, as the voice of Ekaterina speaks to him.

Annihilation Instinct

edit

Taking place three days after the ending where P-3 refuses to confront Sechenov, Kollectiv 2.0 has fully launched and is steadily growing as more people around the globe join, unfortunately Zakharov has merged within the network and has brainwashed people with their THOUGHT device and has leaked information to outside the USSR, effectively causing a civil war. Meanwhile, P-3 wakes up in the Mendeleev Complex, which has been fully taken over by the rogue artificial intelligence NORA. NORA had fallen in love with P-3 during the Kollectiv incident, and synched herself to his brain implant. NORA then tasks P-3 with eliminating Zinaida, who has become hostile to P-3 for abandoning the fight against Sechenov. Heading to the surface, P-3 encounters NORA's inventor, Lebedev. Lebedev repairs P-3's glove and explains that Zinaida joined an anti-Kollective faction, declared war against Sechenov, and seeks to take control of NORA to make use of her weapon manufacturing capabilities. Meanwhile, NORA has completely sealed off the complex from the outside world with an electromagnetic barrier. Lebedev then tasks P-3 with finding BEA-D robots scattered around the complex, which contain parts of NORA's code which he can use to access her core and reset her.

Realizing P-3's plans, NORA tempts him with top secret knowledge about Ekaterina in return for betraying Lebedev. P-3 considers it, but Lebedev puts him direct contact with Sechenov, who admits that he preserved Ekaterina's body and brain in neuropolymer, creating the Twins in hopes that one day she can be revived. He also promises access to all of the files about his and Ekaterina's past, as well as a vacation. P-3 agrees and heads to NORA's core. With assistance from the Twins, P-3 is able to reset NORA and order is restored to the Mendeleev complex. As promised, Sechenov gives P-3 leave time, but as P-3 leaves the facility in an airship, Zinaida follows him.

Trapped in Limbo

edit

Taking place after the ending in which P-3 confronts Sechenov and is betrayed by Zakharov, P-3 awakens in Limbo, a dimension housing his and Ekaterina's subconsciouses. Ekaterina, in the form of a Polymer teardrop, guides P-3 through this dimension as they recover the latter's memory. Ekaterina also briefs P-3 on the events in the real world, informing the latter that while Sechenov's body has disappeared, the Kollektiv has yet to launch, and P-3's own unconscious body is taken to a lab alongside the Twins'. P-3 eventually escapes Limbo and awakens, and sets out to find the rings he threw in the lake in order to restore Ekaterina.

Developing and funding

edit

Mundfish Studio was founded in 2017, in 2024 its key figures are the company’s president Robert Bagratuni,[16] CFO Evgenia Sedova, art director Artyom Galeev, and producer Oleg Gorodishenin.[17][18]

Bagratuni and Galeev have known each other since the early 2000s, having worked at companies that created advertising for FMCG brands. Bagratuni focused on marketing, while Galeev specialized in computer graphics. After the economic downturn in 2008, when the advertising market collapsed, the share of video games increased. On Galeev’s website, who had left the advertising segment at that time, there are sketches of some characters from the future game Atomic Heart, drawn as early as 2012. Sedova and Bagratuni met at the company Newmedia Stars. Before merging with Galeev and founding the game studio Mundfish, they had completed several joint projects.[19] The key figures at Mundfish do not have direct ties to Russia or its president, Vladimir Putin.[20][21][verification needed]

Mundfish has the main office in Cyprus and development offices in Abu Dhabi and Yerevan.[17][22] At the age of 19, a producer Oleg Gorodishenin joined the studio (listed in Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2023).[23] The development of the flagship game Atomic Heart was initially funded by Bagratuni, Sedova, and non-public shareholders. According to CrunchBase, Mundfish raised $16 million in two investment rounds in 2019 and 2021. According to Forbes, the amount from the Chinese investment holding Tencent, the international investment company GEM Capital, and the founder of the game studio Gaijin Entertainment, Anton Yudintsev, could be around $20 million.[17][24][25]

In the summer of 2018, Nvidia offered Mundfish Studio to release the game on the RTX platform, which supports ray tracing and DLSS technology for GeForce RTX graphics cards.[26] They even provided their equipment, access to a special version of the Unreal Engine 4, and tools for the game’s implementation. Nvidia partially took on the marketing promotion, showcasing RTX capabilities at maximum settings in an Atomic Heart trailer at the Gamescom gaming convention in Cologne.[19][17] However, ray tracing was not implemented at the time of release.[27] It was added in a beta version after an update on June 11, 2024.[28]

Themes

edit

Atomic Heart was interpreted by many game critics and journalists as a political satire of authoritarianism,[29] artificial intelligence, and communism.[30] Ed Power of The Daily Telegraph wrote that:

"Playing the game, the player will be left with no doubt as to the dark side of Soviet manifest destiny. The central conflict is between the Politburo and Sechenov. The implication is that the latter is a power-hungry madman who has poisoned the Communist dream. Whatever Atomic Heart is, it isn't a love letter to the Soviet Union. This is a paradise lost, fatally undone by its Prometheus complex."[31]

Journalist Kevin Purdy of Ars Technica wrote that within the game:

The USSR makes the world's best robots, its citizens live in a utopia where those robots do their menial tasks and labor, and even greater things are just about to happen...a world full of astounding promises, yet take apart that optimism by showing the hypocrisy, the false promises, the ego-driven leaders and actors causing so much pain, and the impact on real people's lives when it all comes apart...The Soviet State in Atomic Heart, and its maniacal leaders, are responsible for the death of untold thousands or millions of citizens at the hands of their own robots. There are plans to foist this death on the rest of the world, rather than win them over with the benefits of collectivist effort. The KGB, for which your protagonist formerly worked, are not the good guys.[30]

Jason Faulkner of GameRevolution felt that while the game is frequently critical of the Soviet Union, it stops short of ever outright condemning it.[32] Renata Price of Vice News also wrote that the game "depicts a scenario where the Soviet Union's quest for technology and expansion—there are numerous sarcastic references to conquering the stars—has gone horribly, murderously wrong...To call Atomic Heart a straight-up celebration of the Soviet Union would be a misrepresentation."[33]

Soundtrack

edit

The game's soundtrack was written by three composers: Mick Gordon, famous for his work for video-game titles such as Doom, Prey and Wolfenstein (The New Order, The Old Blood, The New Colossus), Andrey "Boogrov" Bugrov,[34][35][36][37] and Geoffrey Day.[35][36][37]

Along with the original tracks created solely for the game, Atomic Heart also features popular Soviet songs and their remixes, including "Arlekino" and "Zvyozdnoye leto" by Alla Pugacheva, "Trava u doma" by Zemlyane, "Kosil Yas' Konyushinu" by Pesniary and more.[38]

The game's music composer Mick Gordon released a statement condemning the war and donating his fee from the project to the Red Cross Ukraine Crisis appeal.[39][40]

Release

edit

In February 2022 a story trailer showed that Atomic Heart will launch in "#######BER", suggesting the game's release some time in Q4 2022.[41] However, later in November, it was announced that the game will be released on February 21, 2023,[42] published by VK Play in the CIS, co-published by 4Divinity from Singapore-based entertainment marketing group GCL in Asia,[43] and published by French-based company Focus Entertainment elsewhere.

The game's first DLC expansion, titled Annihilation Instinct, was released on all platforms on August 2, 2023.[44] The second DLC, Trapped in Limbo, was released on February 6, 2024.

Sales

edit

Atomic Heart sold above expectations, raising Mundfish's revenue to an all-time high. Three weeks after the game's launch, Mundfish announced that the game had been played by five million players. However, the game was also available upon launch on Xbox Game Pass, which accounted for an unknown percentage of players.[45]

Resonance

edit

The company has faced significant criticism for the Russian origins of its founders.[46][20] Since February 2024, Mundfish has removed mentions of its Russian office from the official website and positions itself as international company with «an incredible team… from 10 countries including Poland, Ukraine, Austria, Georgia, Israel, Armenia, UAE, Serbia, and Cyprus.»[47][21][48] In 2018, the studio employed just over 20 people, while by early 2023, that number had grown to around 130.[49]

The studio is carefully distancing from Russian political statements. Many game developers and publishers have spoken out against the war, stopped selling games in Russia and Belarus, and donated to humanitarian causes.[50][51] The Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation critiqued Mundfish, noting that «the developers of the game did not come out with a public statement condemning the Putin regime» and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, also pointing out that the game has «Russian roots and romanticizes communist ideology and the Soviet Union.»[52] The February 21 release date drew criticism because it nearly coinciding with the first year anniversary of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and Defender of the Fatherland Day, on February 24 and 23 respectively. Developer Mundfish stated that the company is neutral in world affairs and «do not comment on politics or religion». Mundfish also added that the studio «is undeniably a pro-peace organization against violence against people».[53][54][20]

Mundfish has been accused of collecting data of users based in Russia and providing it to the Federal Security Service.[50] The developer denied these allegations, stating: «Our game and website DO NOT collect any information or data. The website’s privacy statement is outdated and wrong, and should have been removed years ago.» In January 2023, the studio replaced the Russian-language Privacy Policy on the website with an English-language version, removing all mentions of Russia.[47][54][20]

Reception

edit

Atomic Heart received "mixed or average" reviews from critics for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions, while the PC version received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.[55][56][57]

IGN praised Atomic Heart for being "deeply ambitious, highly imaginative, and consistently impressive", though criticized its writing and "tedious" elements of gameplay, such as fetch quests.[5] PC Gamer called it "one of the oddest" AAA games. They felt it took primary influence from BioShock, but criticized its combat and progression system as inferior, while being conflicted towards the story and characters.[64] Similarly, Polygon felt that Atomic Heart failed to eclipse BioShock through its gameplay and attempts to tackle multiple themes at once.[67]
