Atlas Fallen Reviews
Atlas Fallen is a competent action role-playing game that supports some interesting play styles with its Momentum gauge. While the story and voice acting disappoint, the stars of the show here are the sand surfing, platform navigation, and world. Serviceable as it is, however, Atlas Fallen could have been so much better. Despite some interesting mechanics, its gameplay is so generic that it never really establishes its own identity. Players can enjoy it without much complaint, but in a year of stellar titles, its competence never truly shines.
If its premise or aesthetics catch your attention, and you feel like an open world that won't take you months to complete, Atlas Fallen is a highly recommended action adventure.

Atlas Fallen is a game with fairly entertaining gameplay and a great combat system. The graphics are not of the highest caliber, but this does not make the game any less entertaining. In addition, the story is unfortunately not a huge highlight.

Atlas Fallen had great potential, thanks to its exciting dune setting and magical fantasy world. However, this world, story, and characters make Atlas Fallen a mediocre title. Still, the gameplay is fun, the combat is fresh, and moving around the map thanks to the exciting sand surfing will keep you entertained, but you probably won't remember the game when you're done.

Atlas Fallen’s momentum system is a fantastic idea and works well, but the fights themselves aren’t interesting enough to keep up.
What becomes clear in the end is that Atlas Fallen is characterized by a general lack of inspiration.

Beautiful visuals can’t do much when “Atlas Fallen” combat, story and encounter design is so shallow. It could’ve been an amazing game if its scope was more limited. As of now, it just stands as another “open world” game that was released in 2023.

Atlas Fallen is a more than pleasant surprise and one of the RPGs to take into account this year. With an average duration of 15-20 hours in its main story, it offers us a wide variety of environments and enemies with a very successful setting. Although the visual aspect is not AAA, it is more than enough to offer us a most enjoyable experience during the course of our adventure. We recommend it to all those action RPG fans who have been orphaned after finishing Final Fantasy XVI and want to enjoy a more modest adventure, but with an interesting story.

Atlas Fallen is a good action RPG that makes its combat system its strong point. Around that workhorse, however, the rest fails to shine adequately, preventing Deck13's title from aspiring to much better stages. There is little to complain about, however: Atlas Fallen is in fact at the end of the day a good game, which will keep you entertained for about ten hours or so.

As a fan of action games, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun with Atlas Fallen. Though it's not revolutionary in any way, the new work by Deck13 is yet another competent release in 2023. Being the gauntlet wielder doesn't come without its issues, but defeating sandy monsters while surfing in a post-apocalyptic desert is way too thrilling to be ignored.

It's not a deep experience and many might leave unsatisfied by its sluggish pacing, dialogue and story. Atlas Fallen is an easy recommend on sale but for now, 2023 has a lot more to offer.
Atlas Fallen strikes a sweet spot in bringing just enough to the table that you get a satisfying campaign, but a resolve that can feel empty. While the focus relies on its expeditious campaign, rapid pacing, eccentric features and embellished plot, it lacks tremendously in story and heart.
Atlas Fallen toys with some clever ideas and comes close to making a breakthrough on a few of them, but between its dull story, characters, world, and frustrating, unbalanced combat, the game just can’t achieve its true potential. The full campaign co-op seperates it from other titles and can alleviate some of the frustrations but the good elements just take too long to get rolling and aren’t quite interesting enough to help you stick around.
Atlas Fallen is an amazing adventure to be tackled, either solo or with a friend, turning the tide of battle and fighting back against the monsters of the land and becoming more powerful with each victory. Honestly, there are not many negatives I can think of with Atlas Fallen. It has been another great release during a great year for games. I have loved every second I have spent exploring the world and all the fights I have encountered. If you are looking for a great action adventure RPG to play, this is highly worth checking out.
In this big open world there is plenty to see, do and experience. Atlas Fallen is full of puzzles and treasures. You can play the game alone or with a friend. The navigation works very organically and if you pick up the game again after a long break, you can find a short and concise tutorial list in your journal. This way you can quickly pick up the adventure without too much hassle. As far as we’re concerned, this game is easy to recommend.

At the end of the day, Atlas Fallen is certainly a worthwhile open-world action RPG to consider for your next adventure. Its world and creatures are mostly a delight, and the co-op potential is there for friends to have a great time. Just don’t look closely at either the story or the visuals, and you will have a good time.
If you’re looking for an RPG with a solid exploration and fighting system, Atlas Fallen is a good option. You might be let down by the game’s plot if that’s your main motivation for playing. If you don’t care about the story and just want to explore the world and build a wide variety of characters, this game is fantastic. Especially with Co-op, I believe it would be fun to just run around in this environment and wreck and blow stuff up with a friend. The map is fairly large, with several explorable zones and an additional, optional zone off to the side. In the end, Atlas Fallen is fun; it doesn’t exactly break new ground, but it has enough to entertain you.
"Atlas Fallen" reaches for the stars and manages to stand on its own in a crowded genre with its ambitious story scenes and gripping combat.
I commend Deck13 for taking the risk of creating a new IP and wanting to make something new and unique. They have definitely achieved some of it with the combat system and the sand traversal mechanics. But that’s about it. The lore and narrative are a bit all over the place, the engine and the tech is outdated and the inconsistent voice acting doesn’t help either.
With Atlas Fallen, Deck 13 fearlessly enters a completely new competitive situation, provides a fundamental synergy thanks to coherent game elements, which ultimately creates a recognition value that can justify the entire project. The clear focus on the offensive brings an action-heavy, sometimes motivating battle to light, which never frustrates despite its performance-driven orientation, but instead benefits from its simplicity and the trivial, tactical component. As well thought-out and coherent as the combat system initially appears, the action role-playing game is short-lived in its entirety. Atlas Fallen ultimately fails primarily due to its long-term motivation: both the narrative, thanks to its staging omissions and its emotional superficiality, as well as the redundant, even lifeless game world seem like foreign bodies, squander enormous potential and make sure that you have to find yourself in the genre mediocrity - which can definitely get lost in this year's high-quality release clutter.
