Combat is a crucial aspect of the game, with a plenty of different weapons and equipment available to utilize.

The game has a very unique and compelling setting, with a history of the alternative reality of the 1950s that originates from the development of Robotics and advanced technology during the Second World War. The game explores what lies behind the dream of a happy society, the supremacy of science, ideal cities with sun trench green parks and squares, automation of everyday life, and the desire to reach the stars. However, players must also look at the underside of an ideal world, as could something like this have already happened and what can it lead to.

The game is visceral and gory, not for the faint of heart. It's going to hurt and tear the pieces apart. The game has a wide range of upgrades for all firearms and melee weapons, allowing players to tear to pieces anyone who gets in their way. 

Players have to find out what forces are behind the utopian dream, and one of the secrets is hidden in the depths of facility 3826. The truth will have to be paid in blood. The game has a Sci-Fi World ecosystem where the global Collective neural network connects all flying and ground robots on the surface and in underground complexes into a single network. The game offers a variety of different gameplay mechanics outside of the combat, including stealth environment and hacking. Players must interact with the environment and keep an eye on the enemy, making it the only way to win.

Civilian robots designed to help people rebelt against their creators. Secret experiments of scientists were the reasons why the terrible mutant monsters came to be giant machines and bloodthirsty creatures all of them will become obstacles on the way to completing a secret mission. Players must try as hard as they can and study each of them from the most dangerous opponents so as not to become an easy prey for them.

The game's combat and exploration mechanics are centered around the Power Glove, which offers players different information on the game world and areas, making it a useful companion throughout the game. But despite all the gameplay elements, Atomic Heart's main focus is on its narrative, exploring many dark themes such as a global system failure at a Soviet facility that leads machinery to rebel against the people.

As the player, your task is to eliminate the consequences of a large-scale accident and prevent the leakage of classified information that threatens to destroy the whole world.
