Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter set in an alternate 1950s Soviet Union where advanced robotics and bioengineering experiments have gone awry. Typical elements of its genre—such as fast-paced combat, exploration, and a strong narrative—are combined with an open-world structure and immersive action-adventure gameplay. What makes Atomic Heart stand out among other shooter titles is its unique alternate history setting blending science fiction with Soviet-era aesthetics, alongside its mysterious, atmospheric storytelling. Players face off against rogue robots and mutated creatures in a richly detailed environment, integrating both traditional shoot-and-survive mechanics with experimental weapons and abilities, offering a fresh and distinctive take on the shooter genre.
