Good game with nice mechanics
Atlas Fallen is an action-adventure game.You collect essence, which is used to upgrade your armor and your essence stones. Your variation of gameplay comes from the gauntlet, which has 3 tiers (bronze, silver, gold) with 4 slots per tier (1 slot per tier for an active stone and 3 for passive effects).When you fight, you gain momentum (3 bars corresponding to every tier of the gauntlet with the selected essence stones).In order to be effective in combat, you need to gain maximum momentum, but there is a trick.As you gain momentum, you deal more damage and also activate your stones from the gauntlet, but you also receive a lot more damage from enemies, and an over-leveled enemy can kill you with 1 hit. The essence stone selection is very important in this game in order to build your character for higher difficulties.The game has a parry mechanic - if you successfully parry the smallest enemies, you will freeze them for a couple of seconds. For the higher enemies, you will need 3 successful parries to crystallize them. You also have a powerful attack, which is called shatter, that can be used to deal a massive amount of damage but consumes all your momentum gauge. From a technical perspective, I didn't have any crash.I played the game on a laptop with a Ryzen 9 6900HX + RTX 3070ti mobile with everything at max at a constant 90 FPS. In order to change the game resolution, you need to launch the Direct 12 version from GOG, and after that, quit the game and launch the game normally, which runs on Vulkan directly. For some unknown reason, if you try to change the game resolution while on Vulkan, the game will crash. The Xbox controller works fine.The game supports multiplayer.The visuals are quite nice for an AA title; the character models are kind of repetitive, as are the voices used in the dialog.The game can be finished in 25-30 hours.New Game+, has some new monsters and also 3 new sets of armor.I really recommend this game to players at the discounted price.
