New ‘Atomic Heart’ Trailer Focuses on the Frenetic Combat [Video]
While it still doesn’t have a proper release date (and developer Mundfish denying that it’s been delayed), Atomic Heart sure looks good. Atomic Heart also hits good, according to the latest trailer for the upcoming dystopian Soviet shooter, which focuses on the game’s combat.
And of course, being that it’s Atomic Heart, there’s a helping of weird to go along with the combat. Set against a song by Alla Pugacheva, we have two female robots dancing with one another when one sprouts tendrils that turn into a horn (and subsequently impales the other), interspersed with footage of the protagonist using their powers to manipulate water and telekinesis (a la BioShock) in fighting robots, while bashing/cutting others with a variety of other weapons.
Set an alternate version of the 1950’s, the story of Atomic Heart takes place in a Soviet Union in which robotics and other advanced technologies were developed during World War II. However, there’s a dark underbelly to it all. These same robots designed to help humans have rebelled against their creators. In addition, secret experiments have led to the emergence of terrifying mutants. You are Agent Major P-3 and it’s up to you to find out what is really lying behind this “utopian” dream.
Mundfish stated back in February that Atomic Heart would be arriving in “#######ber 2022” for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
