Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand A flawed, but ultimately enjoyable Co-op-Action-RPG - as long as you don't mind a bit of sand. Gameplay: Atlas Fallen is fast-paced and action-heavy and tells its story between the numerous battles and exploration of its sandy world. The bones and meat of the game are the fights, often taking a few minutes before letting you go just to fight the next sand-monster barely a minute later. And while this part isn't as polished as the common Soulslike these days, it is indeed a good system that Deck13 has built. The fights are parry-heavy and mobile, combining dodges, dashes, double-jumps and lunge-attacks with multiple enemies, constantly mashing attacks to not fall behind on DPS. While small enemies just take a few hits, bigger enemies have multiple parts that you need to wail down with their own health-bar. Sometimes fights even change their dynamic once you "disabled" a few parts of the monster you are fighting. They feel fast, challenging enough and rewarding. Unless... Unless, well, if they don't. While most of the fights are fine and nothing special, sometimes you just get a Hit and sometimes a Miss. For every aerial-heavy fast moving "I hope you don't fall" adrenalin rush you get a "I am pretty sure I parried that" or "Why am I not seeing the attack, why is the camera where it is?". This was a common trope in the game where the quality was sometimes all over the place and (without any big spoilers) it was incredibly bad with the final boss being a pushover that just didn't feel fun to do (first try). Going away from the fights Atlas Fallen has many, many ideas it thrown into the mix. You have an incredible variety of different builds you can do with your essence stones, letting you switch from glass cannon to support to tank to momentum-generation even into self-hurting corruption builds. Being a co-op-game it was fun to see the big effect that the build actually had! While my friend went from a momentum-monster into a support build (and a shatter build very late into the game), I went glass canon. This led to me sometimes just one-shotting a whole wave of enemies but only reaching that state if he was there - before I inevitably got one-shot by an attack myself because I lowered my defense into oblivion. Sadly this level of freedom ended with the armoury and weapons. While you get three weapons to choose from, using 2 at a time, the armour system was a letdown, often forcing you to use an armour inferior for your build because every piece of new armour just was objectively better. Other than that we have treasure hunting actually feeling treasure-hunty, boring side-quests, boring Jump'n'Runs, boring side objectives on the map (like following animals or hitting a statue) and side-fights which then again felt good, for example the Rifts. While I trash the rest of the game here, the exploration in itself actually felt nice, especially with the great mobility you got from the game, even though the world was a bit shallow. The rest served the game good enough to make you have a pause from the otherwise non-stop fighting. The story and the Writing: The story of Atlas Fallen felt very cookie-cutter. While it wasn't bad, every twist just felt like it was done a hundred times before, no character stood particularly out and even when the game told grand stories of gods fighting for the fate of the world... I just couldn't care. This was deepened by a few choices made by the devs: Being a Co-op-Game, you were given the freedom to free-roam, so at times one of us would finish a mission without the other one noticing. For side-missions this was fine, you would miss the dialogue but no one of us really cared. Then the main-quests happened and sometimes you could do a fight or a dialogue without the other one present. Then you needed both of the players, but at least the other could fast-travel to you. And then you had the times when the other person had to walk to you just for you to smack a chain without anything happening. It felt inconsistent and strangely limiting in an otherwise free game. Other than that the story was told to you, not with you. You had no real choices to make, nothing to really change. Often enough the most important things happened in the past and you were just exploring them - oh, time for the next fight! The presentation was incredibly off-throwing, sometimes giving you okay-ish cut-scenes, then having you talk to an NPC where the other person would have to stand next to it to not miss anything. All in all the story served its purpose, but its nothing I will greatly remember - or remember at all. Well, except for that one really bad moment right at the end. Music, graphic and technical stuff: The music was good enough, the sound-design felt good (which is important in a game where you constantly sand-glide!). The graphics were mostly fine, but did have one big problem: Since the game is very focused on sand... every area just felt the same. Instead of some big twists with glass houses or sand castles as areas you often enough just left an open sand area just to be in another open sand area. The biggest groundbreak was a cave. Yea. On the technical side the game was, just like much of the rest, Hit or Miss. while 90 - 95 % of it was a Hit, we did encounter a few too many difficulties to not mention them. Everything from frame drops when a fight ended and you got your materials over crashes, disconnects, failing auto saves, unobtainable steam achievements (because of the before-mentioned), save files being locked out of multiplayer (leading to us needing to load an earlier save) and more. While we encountered those problems just rarely, they added up over time. Putting a small area for QoL here: While the game often did a good job marking your new things, giving you shortcuts to them, giving you the ability to teleport your friend and so on, I found it then very funny, that it disabled the ability to save manually or fast-travel to another map in Co-op. What a strange choice! Summary: I bought Atlas Fallen (quite a few times actually!) for a simple reason - an Action-RPG built for Co-op. None of that FromSoftware-BS. An actual Co-op-Action-RPG. Without guns (nothing against Looter-Shooters, but sometimes you want something else). And that's what I got. So I can't be too mad, especially considering the price I paid for it and with its playtime of about 25-30 hours. And to make one thing clear: I am not mad. I did enjoy the game. The fights felt distinguishable from other games, Deck13 did try to make something to stand out and I can applaud that. For every tripping-stone they encountered, I had multiple good moments having fun with a friend. And that was what I paid for. Is this game good? Yes. Is this game underrated? Absolutely. Is this game GotY material? Absolutely not. But not every game needs to be that. If you are looking for something else - this might be it. You will know this very soon (after that prolonged tutorial ended at least).

I went into Atlas Fallen not really knowing what to expect, but I came out of it really impressed. It’s not perfect, but it’s one of those games that quietly grows on you the more you play. Combat is where things get flashy. You build up momentum as you fight, and your weapons shift and grow into these massive, wild forms. It’s like you’re wielding something alive. The game rewards timing and movement over button mashing, so it keeps you thinking and reacting. The story isn’t anything groundbreaking, but it does its job. There’s a mysterious past to uncover, gods to deal with, and people trying to survive in a harsh world. What stood out to me were the little character moments and how the game gives you a companion that actually has personality and adds to the plot. It’s not a huge AAA blockbuster and it doesn’t try to be. There are some rough edges, dialogue can feel a bit stiff and the world can seem empty at times, but it makes up for it with heart, unique movement, and creativity in combat.

Get it on sale. While enjoyable the game felt to be too much at times and often I felt more exhausted than excited by the time I reached the next check point. I completed the game's story but did not 100% the side objectives because they did not offer anything exciting or unique as a reward besides another set of armor with passive buffs or another essence stone I likely wasn't going to use. Had this been a more tight and linear experience with a slightly better story I would heavily recommend but as it is, wait for a sale and I hope you enjoy collecting things. There are also some graphical issues with lag/stutter that seem to be unavoidable in certain areas of the game, my frames were all over the place.

I just got the completionist for this game in 55h really taking my time and messing around with everything the game has to offer I wanna start by saying that this game is literally the clunkiest game I've ever played in my life, and I've been playing video games non stop for about 25 years. I really enjoyed it but god damn, let's do a simple good and bad list, starting with the bad to get it out of the way. Weaknesses: - The combat feels like it was made clunky on purpose, probably to try and get a Dark Souls feel to it but it's freaking horrible. Every attack is painfully slow while the enemies' aren't, which makes it feel really unfair, the hitboxes are quite messed up and the movement also is, like your character aiming at a completely different direction sometimes when you're locked on something, getting blocked on an invisible wall, it's things like that constantly and by far the worst aspect of the game imo - The targeting system is terrible. Elites/bosses have several parts and each can be locked on individually, but since they constantly spawn adds that you generally wanna get rid of asap they're usually really hard to switch to with the game's locking system. Why? I don't know, but it made me die a lot of times so I do recommend to get rid of the smaller enemies without using it, it just makes the process easier - NPCs. This game is known for having bad dialogues and it's pretty true so to speak, but more than that it's the fact that they constantly repeat the same one line of dialogue each time you pass by them even when a certain event should change what they say. IE: when a person asks you if you can help them and still do after you finish their quest, it makes no sense and breaks immersion. That and also the fact that they don't do anything apart from standing around or cycling through the one animation that was given to them, for that reason the world kinda feels lifeless. - The balancing around essence shards is just not there, there are too many ways to become invincible/one shot every enemy in the game and it's not hard at all to get the components for those builds, I messed around with those a little before switching to fairer builds which made it a bit more enjoyable - The animations are not that great imo Strengths: - The combat. Although it's clunky as hell I really enjoyed it, picture something between Devil May Cry and Monster Hunter but way simpler, if you're willing to be patient with this game it will reward you with a lot of fun - The build system is pretty good, intuitive and there are a lot of interesting builds to make. Some builds will make you OP really fast though as mentioned above, try them out and let them go because they're fun but also take every risk out of the game - Sand sliding, probably the most unique feature of this game and the reason why most people wanted to play it, it's fun, I just wish you could go faster - It doesn't drag on forever, it's a straightforward game that doesn't try to trick you into playing longer than necessary by bloating up the map with too many useless objectives, those open world activities are there but it felt like the right amount - The story is okay, I enjoyed it There you go, thank you for reading, I do recommend this game and although it has flaws, I felt it grow on me the more I was playing it and I ended up having a really good time with it. I just started a new game+ playthrough despite getting the completionist because it's just pretty fun, I feel like overall this is an underrated game but people not liking it is definitely understandable TLDR: This game is the game I would use if I had to explain what "clunky" is, but it's pretty damn good imo, it's also not too long which is a good thing.

After 100% completing Atlas Fallen, I think I can safely give it somewhere around a 7.5/10. PROS -Build your own character with a decent creation system. -Huge variety of ways to customize the abilities of your character. -Sand surfing is pretty rad. -Abilities and enemies are pleasing thematically and aesthetically. -Can transmogrify your gear to various other armor sets and unlock a ton of different dyes to heavily customize your look. CONS -Optimization issues. I can get close to 150 FPS but the game has lots of minor stuttering despite that no matter what I did. -The enemy targeting system doesn't feel quite as snappy or responsive as I would like. -Lack of transparency. You don't feel like you fully understand what exactly many of the ability modifiers actually do. For example, you can equip a stone that says "Increase damage", but it doesn't tell you how much damage and there's no way to view it. -One of the perks doesn't appear to work as intended. You can unlock the ability to detect treasures nearby and your gauntlet is supposed to react to their proximity. It doesn't. NEUTRAL -The game appears to want you to explore naturally for a lot of things like treasure instead of relying on the map. You can find vantage points that reveal the locations of things like treasure, but it doesn't actually place markers anywhere. If you're the type that likes to wander around and search every nook and cranny, this might be a plus. For me, it felt more like I was wasting a lot of time running in circles. I won't hold encouraging exploration against a game, just felt a bit more tedious than rewarding for me. -Fairly simple story with relatively basic NPCs. I didn't find this to be a problem with it being such an action forward game though. Got it on sale with no regrets.
