After revealing the gameplay of Atlas Fallen, Deck13 gave more details about the action RPG’s mechanics, enemies, abilities, and world. The player uses a magic gauntlet to fight against corrupted gods, who terraformed the world leaving it in a sandy state.
In the latest episode of Deck13 Inside, the development team talked about the various enemies, known as Sand Wraiths, and the different abilities players can use. By using Essence Stones, you gain new abilities, such as slowing enemies with AoE fields and destroying projectiles. You can also perform an air dash, block attacks with a shield, and erect massive structures to progress.
The world is also interesting: some humans side with the gods, while others build underground shelters to survive the Sandwraiths. Many characters have no name and are identified by their role (such as Cook).
Atlas Fallen will launch on May 16 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. While playable solo, the entire campaign supports two-player co-op.
