Atomega PC

Another experimental project developed by British studio Ubisoft Reflections, the creators of well received Grow Home and Grow Up – two unusual action games with unique climbing mechanics. This time developers created an arena shooter focused not on combat, but on matter collecting and evolving.

Mechanics

Atomega for PC focuses on online battles for up to eight players. Each of them starts a ten-minute-long round as a single atom that can absorb mass but cannot shoot. After collecting enough resources the controlled character evolves into further forms – a dinosaur, a gorilla, a human etc. There are seven stages of evolution – each with unique advantages and preferred tactics. The objective of the game is to collect enough mass to transform into Omega – a giant organism that can hit the enemies with a continuous energy beam.

Contrary to the majority of online shooters, in Atomega for PC the players are awarded not for eliminating the opponents, but for collecting matter. Violence isn’t necessary to win – the player can avoid battles completely and focus only on evolving into new forms.

Technical aspects

Similarly to previous games developed by Ubisoft Reflections, Atomega features a unique graphics style. The battles take place on an arena that resembles ancient ruins floating among the stars. The forms of the controlled character are constructed from purple cubes of different size.
