story
881 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in "Atlas Fallen" is generally viewed as simplistic and lacking depth, with many players finding it predictable and unengaging. While some appreciate the world-building and the bond between characters, the narrative often feels generic and fails to captivate, leading to a focus on gameplay rather than story. Overall, the consensus suggests that while the game offers enjoyable combat and exploration, its storytelling is a weak point that detracts from the overall experience.
“The storyline was simple, but to the point and fun; the bond between Nyaal and the gauntlet bearer was a fun, wholesome, and entertaining one.”
“I also like the adventure; it may not be the greatest story ever, but it's just good and epic.”
“The story is interesting (mostly because of what you don't yet know).”
“Unfortunately, the story is completely forgettable; the first hour I played introduced nothing to me or why I should care to continue playing, especially when it hasn't done anything particularly well so far.”
“The story is both over-the-top and bland, lacking any real depth or engagement.”
“The story was, well to be blunt, bad. It was just a very generic story with no characters that really draw you into it.”

From the outside Atlas Fallen has all the pieces of an open world fantasy epic, but if you look a little more closely you'll see the cracks.

72%Atlas Fallen Review
Despite all of its flaws in story, visuals, and even design, Atlas Fallen excels simply as a video game. Its exploration is rewarding, its combat is tense, and its sense of control is unrivalled by most of its competitors. Though its systems might lack greater polish, what's there ranges from serviceable to incredible, making for a title that's far more fun to try personally than to simply watch or listen to. For those willing to dive into the sand, Atlas Fallen is sure to be a glorious gem.
