AtlasFallen's innovative momentum system isn't good enough to save it from a weak opening and poor presentation.
Atlas Fallen MSRP $60.00 Score Details “Atlas Fallen has some ambitious ideas for a game of its scale, but its poor presentation holds back a promising combat system.” Pros Cons First impressions mean a lot, and Atlas Fallen doesn’t exactly put its best foot forward.
An intriguing story told poorly In Atlas Fallen, players are fighting back against the good that rules over this dreary, ruined fantasy world with the help of Nyall. Nyall is an amnesiac being with god-like powers whose spirit is intertwined with a gauntlet that grants its user magical abilities. Atlas Fallen’s story is about fighting back against oppression.
Fluid movement is a core component of great open-world games, and Atlas Fallen has that. After beating it, I spent some time just jumping and moving around the sandbox. Sadly, the map design doesn’t do a lot to back that solid movement up, as the only memorable area from my adventure was a sunken city where I could fight a boss in a Colosseum. There are some egregious pop-in issues too, which hurt my sense of speed as the game tore apart at its seams, unable to keep up with me.
I engaged with Atlas Fallen‘s combat on a deeper level, taking more risks than I normally like to in tough action games. The main reward for combat encounters is Essence Stones. These, which are crafted with materials found throughout Atlas Fallen’s main areas, add abilities as players gain momentum across all three tiers. For each tier, players can have a loadout of one active skill, which adds a new attack to the player’s arsenal at that tier, and three passive skills, which give passive buffs or assistance during combat.
