Atlas Fallen Reviews
Atlas Fallen knows how to hunt big monsters and adds combo jumps and parkour elements while exploring the landscape and its hard-to-reach corners. It's both a challenge and fun, and certainly good choice.

Atlas Fallen is fine in parts and frustrating in others. The world seems fascinating, but the characters are the least compelling part of the story. The combat can feel fluid, and the number of powers you can use makes for a good deal of build possibilities. You'll wish there were more weapons, though. Traversal is fun, but you will need to ignore Nyaal, who often calls out things that are nowhere in the proximity. The development team could've used some more time to tighten things up, but ultimately, Atlas Fallen remains a good distraction in between other, more polished action-adventure games.
Showing good ideas with poor execution, Atlas Fallen is an action RPG with flaws, strange decisions and an underused universe in many ways. It is a better experience when enjoyed cooperatively, but just a decent game nowadays.

Atlas Fallen has a great premise with pretty enjoyable old-school combat when it works. Frustrating and unreliable mechanics might be a bit of a hindrance, but it works great as a gameplay-heavy title to pick up and play.
Though there are some unfavorable aspects of the game, mainly in its narrative, there is no denying that Deck 13 remains triumphant in providing a fun and unique experience with the release of Atlas Fallen. While it is very apparent that Deck 13 wants to add variety to its portfolio of games, it’s far from a perfect game when it comes to story but has come a long way in combat mechanics. Albeit experimental in nature, we cannot wait to see what direction will Deck 13 bring their new combat mechanics and IP as we feel that it has a lot of potential. It’s a highly customizable action RPG that will attract those looking for button-smashing fun at the expense of an engaging and interesting story.
Atlas Fallen offers a mix of fun gameplay, solid visuals, and good sound design that creates an immersive experience. This game invites you to explore its sandy landscapes and uncover hidden secrets, making it a worthwhile adventure. However, combat encounters can become repetitive, especially against similar enemies, the story’s pacing can be uneven at times and there are occasional frame drops that can be distracting during gameplay. If you like action-packed games with a bit of exploration, this game is definitely worth a look.
Atlas Fallen isn't remarkable or innovative, and you can clearly tell where its grand ideas run against the limited budget. But it's still fun to play, and sometimes that's enough for a title like this.

When you reach the checkout screen for a game like Atlas Fallen, you know exactly what you’re signing up for. You know that this isn’t the hyper-polished, AAA experience, but instead, a game you can sink a ton of time into and flex your gaming skills with. To answer the question I posed in the introduction, Atlas Fallen may not be a $50 game, but it’s one that’s going to be worth your purchase when it inevitably, swiftly hits a sale soon. You’ll not regret your time exploring, delving, and completing everything you want to in this great action RPG.
Atlas Fallen is a very good title, with a really interesting and layered combat system, although it suffers from some side variables that invalidate the gaming experience. However, the real merit of the production, surprisingly, lies in the level design of the open maps, which manages to strongly mitigate (or eliminate?) the feeling of wandering around in an aseptic world full of uninspiring activities inserted just to make up the numbers.

Atlas falls, and rises again!
I enjoyed completing the epic adventure of my favorite customizable Nameless one. Deck 13's new work confirmed my love for the German team. Despite weak writing, the action/RPG is rich in personality and offers enjoyable exploration. With great longevity, it could have used a few tweaks to touch excellence. The co-op choices are baffling, but I hope the potential is fulfilled in the announced DLC or a steroid-packed sequel.

Atlas Fallen is a solid but uninspiring open-world fantasy RPG with brilliant movement and traversal but not much else. In a crowded field of fantasy RPGs, it doesn’t have the level of finish, characters, and story to make it a truly memorable experience.
The game has interesting ideas and only manages to land about half of them. Though admirably attempting to blend more expansive action and some cool movement options, nothing ends up being tuned quite well enough to bring it all together.
Atlas Fallen has some really interesting ideas, but poor execution of those results in a truly flawed product.
There's bright spots to Atlas Fallen. The combat is great, the story has a lot of potential, but the graphics and voice acting just drag the whole experience down.

Not only surfing the sands, but strategically hunting monsters and helping a people on the brink of collapse is something only a game like Atlas Fallen can do.

Atlas Fallen is a title that copies mechanics and ideas from other titles but does not shine in anything. The gameplay is particularly dull and unsatisfying, the plot uninvolving and lacking in basic mechanics for a 2023 title. Had it come out in 2010 as the developers' debut title it would have been nice as a cheap alternative to darksiders 1 (a title from which Atlas Fallen seems to borrow a lot) but in 2023 from developers who have good experience in this area anyway we expected significantly more.

If ever there was a game that embodies the term wasted potential, Atlas Fallen is it. There’s some nice ideas in here, but none of them are executed all that well. They’re muddled with a myriad of disappointing and poor elements that just do not work. Atlas has well and truly fallen here but at least it’s not as bad as Forspoken. Which, I guess, is one saving grace.
One of the worst titles this year devastated by a series of conflicted development choices, the game loses its identity between being a hack & Slash, action adventure and souls like that results in a soulless experience add to it an under-developed story and you are left with a mess.

Atlas Fallen is an action-packed RPG game with a storyline that starts slow, but the action-packed combat keeps it interesting. The co-op aspect has worked perfectly, and it is a blast to play with a friend. The fetch-and-grab quests, disappointing voiceovers, and writings make the game shine less than its true potential. To defeat a god is no easy perk, but you better wait for a sale before embarking on this adventure.
