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.

God is a Geek: 7 / 10 by Gary Bailey

Atomega's concept is great, especially in a world of identikit PvP shooters, but its dearth of content means it simply doesn't last.

The people behind Grow Home return with an ingenious multiplayer battler.

Full Review

GameSpace: 6 / 10 by Steven Weber

There is no PvE or Bots that take the place of players, so if you can’t find others to play with, this has the potential to be a very lonely game. Luckily, Atomega is priced well enough that even the casual arena fan could find a lot to like here, for as long as the game stays populated. If you find yourself looking for a great stand-in while waiting for your next big arena game, Atomega could be the game you’re looking for, just don’t expect it to evolve into more than that.
