Skills & Progression | |
N/A | Progression is split between weapon crafting and personal abilities. Using 'NORA' a sentient, flirtatious vending machine, players can craft and upgrade a wide array of melee and ranged weapons. The Polymer Glove provides P-3 with special abilities, including 'Shok' (electricity), 'Frostbite' (cryokinesis), Telekinesis, and a Polymer Jet shield. These skills can be upgraded through several skill trees. |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
N/A | Atomic Heart features a semi-open world structure. The main overworld connects several vast, self-contained complexes or dungeons, such as the Vavilov Complex, the VDNKh exhibition center, and a Theatre. The overworld itself is populated with smaller points of interest, puzzles, and roaming enemies, and can be traversed on foot or by car. |

Frequently Asked Questions | |
|
|
build Technical Details | |
Graphics & Visual Fidelity | |
N/A | Powered by Unreal Engine 4, Atomic Heart is renowned for its striking 'Atompunk' or 'Soviet-Futurism' art style. The game features highly detailed environments, from pristine scientific complexes to overgrown landscapes, and unique, often disturbing enemy designs. On PC, it supports advanced features like ray-traced reflections, shadows, and ambient occlusion, as well as NVIDIA DLSS. |
Audio & Soundtrack | |
N/A | The soundtrack is a unique highlight, featuring an intense, industrial score composed by Mick Gordon, known for his work on 'Doom'. This is contrasted with licensed Soviet-era pop songs, remixed for a modern audience by artists like Geoffrey Day, which often play during combat, creating a distinct and memorable atmosphere. |
User Interface (UI/UX) | |
N/A | Features a minimalist and diegetic UI to enhance immersion. Key information like health and energy is displayed on P-3's glove. The weapon wheel allows for quick selection of weapons and abilities. The scanner highlights loot, enemies, and interactive objects in the environment. All crafting and upgrades are handled through the vivid, full-screen interface of the NORA machines. |
Accessibility Options | |
N/A | The game includes a range of accessibility options, such as customizable subtitles (size, background), various colorblind modes (Deuteranopia, Protanopia, Tritanopia), and separate volume controls for music, effects, and dialogue. Controller layouts can be chosen from presets, but full button remapping is limited on some platforms. |
