Critic Reviews

AltChar - Asmir Kovacevic - 80 / 100

Atlas Fallen is an action-adventure RPG that evokes a sense of nostalgia for classic hits while also infusing the genre with a refreshing and unique touch.

Attack of the Fanboy - Marc Magrini - 4 / 5

Despite all of its flaws in story, visuals, and even design, Atlas Fallen excels simply as a video game.

But Why Tho? - Abdul Saad - 7.5 / 10

Ultimately, while Atlas Fallen‘s narrative is a bit of a hit-and-miss, it still offers players, especially action RPG fans, a highly engaging gameplay experience in a well-crafted world.

CGMagazine - Justin Wood - 4 / 10

Atlas Fallen is a hard game to recommend. Between janky controls and a really rough-feeling platforming system, it feels like it fights you every step of the way.

COGconnected - Mark Steighner - 68 / 100

Like in their earlier games, Deck 13 Interactive is definitely punching above their weight. If this results in some moments of unexpected awesomeness, it also results in some rough patches and missing polish.

Cerealkillerz - Nick Erlenhof - German - 7.3 / 10

Atlas Fallen is a difficult case. On the one hand, there’s great surfing through the sand, fun-heavy combat and extensive gameplay style customization, as well as all sorts of things to discover in the open world. On the other hand, there are boring characters, a far too serious and predictable story, repetitive mission objectives and artificially difficult battles. Thus, the game can only be recommended if you lower a few expectations and are aware that it gets clunky and lacks variety in some places. Because the fun of the game is really only a layer of sand away most of the time.

Checkpoint Gaming - Luke Mitchell - 6 / 10

There are some fundamentally great things about Atlas Fallen, like its gorgeous desert landscapes and its super-satisfying sand sliding, plus combat that has a tonne of options and flows well. But its open world of interesting enemies suffers from a rinse-and-repeat approach, where what was exciting in hour two becomes boring and repetitive by hour eight. It’s not that it’s poorly made, but its mission structure and by-the-numbers narrative delivered in a boring way make for an adventure that is more generic than unique. Atlas Fallen is much like a mirage in its sandy desert setting; enticing at first, but a bit disappointing once you look closer and realise it’s not what you’d hoped.

Destructoid - Steven Mills - 7 / 10

I do think there is reason enough to experience Atlas Fallen. Especially if you are a fan of the action RPG genre. It may not leave a lasting impression once you’ve completed the adventure, but it will be enjoyable enough along the way to hold your interest.

Eurogamer - Kaan Serin - 3 / 5

Atlas Fallen echoes other mid-00s slashers with fun melee combat and cool ideas, trapped in a run-of-the-mill open world.

GGRecon - Kiera Mills - 4 / 5

Atlas Fallen isn’t a game that will push the action RPG genre forward, but it’s so much fun to play it doesn’t really matter anyway.

The gameplay loop is satisfying and the aerial dash and sandglider mechanics are smooth enough that you’ll be happy just exploring the world of Atlas, even if you’re not progressing through the main story.

Its clunky plot holds a certain charm, and with enjoyable combat and traversal it’s worth a look for anyone looking for a meaty adventure before the Fall deluge.

GameGrin - Artura Dawn - 6.5 / 10

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.

Gameblog - French - 6 / 10

Deck13 brings very good ideas, but either it does not go to the end, or it misses in the execution.

GamesHub - Edmond Tran - 2 / 5

Surfing through the beautiful world of Atlas Fallen is nice, but unsatisfying combat struggles to keep you invested.

GamesRadar+ - Jon Bailes - 2.5 / 5

It’s proficient in some respects, adequate in others, and manageable at worst. But that leaves a creative void in its world and the way you interact with it that calls into question the value of the whole endeavour.

Gaming Nexus - Jason Dailey - 7.5 / 10

Atlas Fallen might not make any game of the year lists, but its inventive, refreshing combat is worth checking out. It will require a bit of patience, as the opening and closing acts are a protracted slog, in addition to numerous bugs, but the foundation is set for a sequel that capitalizes on the promise of this new IP.

GamingTrend - David Burdette - 75 / 100

I wouldn’t go into Atlas Fallen looking for a great story, but if you’re looking for an interesting world to explore, this might fit the bill. The gameplay is a lot of fun, with foes worth your time to engage, and a fantastic customization system to battle your way. Atlas Fallen fills that old “AA THQ” hole, perfect for what it is.

Generación Xbox - Adrian Fuentes Berna - Spanish - 84 / 100

Atlas Fallen is a game that I wanted to play since I saw the first videos, although once played it does not reinvent the wheel, if it does enough things well to consider it a game to take into account if you like its premises. It is an RPG, with a light combat system like a Hack and Slash, with touches of Darksiders and a great atmosphere.

God is a Geek - Mick Fraser - 6.5 / 10

From the outside Atlas Fallen has all the pieces of an open world fantasy epic, but if you lo…
