GameCentral reviews ambitious new action role-player AtlasFallen and its attempt to mix Souslike combat with the wonder of Journey.
There’s a familiar arc for role-playing game heroes, that insists on taking them from the very lowliest position in an invented society to becoming an all-conquering, omni-feted world hero. Rather prosaically, you achieve that either by levelling up or upgrading your armour, neither of which sounds all that heroic on the face of it but is nonetheless an unwritten law of role-playing games.
Unfortunately, unlike Johnny Silverhand – who was unsavoury but at least compellingly unhinged – Nyaal the ancient god is a bit of a bore. That’s the one personality trait you wouldn’t expect of an omnipotent being and yet despite you gaining possession of the magic PowerGlove, that they have to teach you how to use, they’re surprisingly poor company.
As well as making each blow stronger, your momentum bar gives you the option to activate different special moves as it increases. Those are based on essence stones you find or forge for yourself, which are set in the gauntlet, letting you trigger abilities as the bar fills up. You can also perform a one-off ‘shatter’ technique that uses up the whole bar in one go, for an impressively powerful finale.
Fights do have a nice feel to them, though, and make a virtue of mixing up ground-based wraiths with flying ones, which need lengthy aerial combos to dispatch them. These benefit from further gauntlet upgrades that give you extended air dashes, and also the ability to unearth buried treasure, and activate various arcane structures in the world, offering a hint of Metroidvania to go with the other inspirations.
