Atomic Heart is still pumping along, and there's a new gameplay sequence available now that features some irritable plants, upsetting models, and a vicious-looking boss made of tendons and hatred. The video, which developer Mundfish posted yesterday, also features a score by Doom composer Mick Gordon. Let's dive right in, shall we?
Atomic Heart is a surreal Bioshock-style game set in a strange and mysterious Soviet sci-fi world. We don't know a whole lot about the game yet, but it's a first-person shooter that has you exploring research facilities crawling with the products of various experiments. You see a lot of those in the footage below: as our hero enters the lavishly appointed facility, he's quickly set upon by some extremely hostile potted plants.
Interestingly, the demo only shows off melee combat, even though the protagonist starts out holding what looks like a railgun of some kind. When the houseplants attack, he pulls out a two-handed weapon topped with two rotating circular saw blades. It's heavy and slow, and the footage shows a lot of missed swings in the heat of combat.
