Best Pirate Naval Simulator ever

A little bit grindy

I would have never played Atlas Fallen if not for the coop.

The premises of the game seemed interesting, a co-op action game, something different than our usual survival open world. Game has a strong initial sequence that grabs you at what this world is about but at the same time shows major faults of the game, which is combat - first feeling about it it’s kinda neat, then you realize that pacing is horrible, hitboxes are too large or too small, parry markings are unclear and window for parry is too hard to hit. I’ve played this game on hard mode, and my anxiety about combat was only rising.

The idea of momentum as a mechanics is kind of interesting - but the scale of damage received is kind of unfair while you have full 3 bars your weapons are bigger and hit harder - while ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hitboxes remain the same and you can be one-shotted easily, I would imagine I would drop this game sooner if I didn’t had coop partner to resurrect me when this was happening.

Game has a lot of bugs, where for example enemies can but out, they have infinite aggro on you, you can’t hit them, they can hit you, and game won’t save unless you leave combat which is not possible due to infinite aggro that the mob would follow you across whole map. I’ve tried teleporting to the other end of the map and was not able to lose to the enemy.

Exploration itself is ♥♥♥♥ and not rewarding, most of the stuff you get from your chest are helmets for cosmetics, dyes, and stuff for sale - for which you don’t really have that much interesting stuff to buy. There are few armor sets in the game and the idea of leveling is poorly design, maybe it is design to force you to change playstyle to match the armor, but in general your level is strictly tied to level of your armor, so if you are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ at parrying like me, and had good armor with def stands, to progress you have to equip damage armor to increase your level - that’s not fun.

Mini Games for exploration are simply tiresome, rising totems which you have to connect said totems by a beam that shoots from the first, sometimes the next totem is in such an abysmal place that you are feeling tired just seeing where the next one is. Wildlife is playinly annoying, following randomly chosen animal to lead you to the buried treasure seems fine, if you are counting it won’t get stuck on terrain. Ancient structures were fine, chest locked by waves of enemies get really tiresome after a while. Destroying totems is fine too.

Story is just mid, playing mid, nothing new, nothing interesting, there is a bad god who is a tyrant and there is a forgotten god who is not. Kill the bad god, be a hero, etc.

I have to say I hate forced DEI, there are literally black washed characters of non-black face structure for no reason. If you want to include black characters then at least make some effort rather than changing skin color.

Basically the whole game seems like a project from a studio that wanted to make something cool but did not decide to polish it at all, the game feels untested since there is no way a sane person would try combat and find a combat camera satisfactory.

I do not recommend the game at full price, get it on discount and play it with a friend, it’s not worth full price, but you might have some entertainment from playing together. Rating 5/10

This "Anniversary Edition" is full of bugs.

Cannot launch the game without external DLL file, frequent bug splat crashes, graphic bugs, black screen.
If anything they broke it rather than improved it.

Game itself is nice.

Encapsulated Childhood memories, love it.

Bring me back dummy thicc female spartans from Reach and Guardians...

Path of Range is only viable build since meele is extremly underpowered, 2

//BIFROST REVIEW//

Bifrost is currently not release ready. I dunno if Shiro hoped for free feedback from players as they clearly did not do any tests themselves.

From stuff like some clans are totally unplayable due to bugs, such as Hounds Clan, their whole gimmick is that you have few units but really powerful, they suppose to level up in combat, but for some reason Bifrost lowered exp from 50 to 2 per killed unit, therefore reaching 10 on a single unit is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ impossible.

Frequent lags on Per2Per, bugs with specialization paths, on level 4 tower spec if you want to place your chief barricade on a spot where you built bifrost barricade, it will lag your whole game and for anyone who plays as well.

Sometimes after winter you will get fatal error and you won't get a profit.

Difficulty doesn't matter even if you start from Discovery it will rise on it's own with each next level, so if you want to "try things out", tough luck.

Major update my ass, seems like they forgot to add "early access", since they advertise it as release ready,

I ain't changing this negative review till they address those issues.

My factory was satisfactory :)

I wonder if they will go in Factorio steps and build space exploration expansion.

They removed DLC that I bought from the game to "make room", can't access the story anymore, yeah ♥♥♥♥ that.
