Mundfish also describes Atomic Heart as having distinct elements lifted from the Souls -like games. In 1955, a scientist named Dmitriy Sechenov will unveil the latest iteration of the “Collectiv.” Concurrently, P-3 is then tasked with investigating a robot manufacturing facility that has fallen off the grid, only to find rogue machines and strange bioengineering experiments. The player takes on the role of a mentally unstable KGB special agent called P-3. These developments ultimately lead to the automation of much of the Soviet labor, leading to a sort of proto-internet called “Collectiv 1.0.” This system links various robots, increasing productivity across the board and further advances the sciences by the end of the 1940s. Such advancements lead to the USSR defeating Nazi Germany as early as 1941, though it resulted in a much more severe loss of life. The game follows an alternate look at the era, where a ton of advancements in robotics and other technologies were developed during World War II. The gameplay looks incredibly explosive as well, with the protagonist having access to a massive array of weaponry, both conventional and non-conventional.Ītomic Heart is a retro-futuristic first-person shooter inspired by the era of the Soviet Union in the 1950s for some context, Mundfish, the game’s developer, is based in Russia.


As shown in the trailer, Atomic Heart seems to take a lot of inspiration from other dystopian first-person shooters like the Fallout series.
