* {{Fembot}}: The Gamescom 2022 trailer prominently displays two ''very'' shapely dancing robots interspersed with the gameplay footage.

It is set in an [[AlternateHistory alternate timeline]] where USSR was able to make a great leap in robotics and genetic engineering after the war. However, it's all GoneHorriblyWrong, and now you need to unravel the aftermath, starting from the research centre where it all went down.

* {{Fembot}}: The Gamescom 2022 trailer prominently displays two dancing robots interspersed with the gameplay footage.

* HighPressureBlood: Played straight, as a demonstrated by the eye-gouging finishing move in the trailers, which immediately produces two thick, gushing jets of blood.

* AlternateHistory: The game is set in 1955, but the technology level of the Soviet Union surpasses the modern levels of tech, with advanced robots and genetic engineering, videocalls, and an Internet equivalent.
* BilingualBonus: The protagonist's various quips (in russian language) do not appear to be subtitled. Given [[SirSwearsALot what he usually has to say]], it's probably for the best.

* ShortRangeShotgun: One of the weapons seen in the gameplay trailer. Its short effective range may be justified in that its shrapnel shot would be less effective against the solid metal of the robots you are fighting.
* SovietSuperscience: Played straight in all of the preview material, which shows a highly advanced research complex with the technology at least two-three decades ahead of its time. Of course, it was only "super" up to a point it all went [[GoneHorriblyWrong horribly wrong.]]

* SurrealHorror: The game seems to combine OurMonstersAreWeird, AmbiguousRobot, {{Zeerust}}, BodyHorror, HellIsThatNoise, and much more to unnerving degrees.

* YouAreNumberSix: The protagonist is simply known as "P-3".

* LightIsNotGood: As one person in the trailer says, even as a kid he was disturbed by seeing brightly illustrated books for children because he felt that they sugarcoat reality. He was rather appealed by science, because he felt that it gave him an actual way to deal with reality the way it is instead of an illusion of a harmless one. He associates light with deception and implies that someone in specific, maybe a villain in the plot was made unpredictable and dangerous by *his* ability to "hide in the light".

%%* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Discussed trope; in a trailer, one scientist claims that the ''light'' makes the monsters in the dark act unnaturally, forcing them to put on an unpredictable and dangerous facade to survive, whereas in the dark they are comfortable and act predictably.

%%* AnAxeToGrind: A fire axe is one of the melee weapon types.

%%* ItemCrafting: Some weapons can be assembled in this manner.
%%* OptionalStealth: It appears possible to sneak past the less-aware enemies.

''Atomic Heart'' is an upcoming FirstPersonShooter[=/=]ActionRPG game, currently being developed by the Russian studio Mundfish, and slated for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]], UsefulNotes/Playstation4.

!! Tropes present in the preview material for Atomic Heart:
* AnAxeToGrind: A fire axe is one of the melee weapon types.
* BodyHorror: One of the videos demonstrates a creature that looks like a fleshless humanoid with what looks like blood vessels and tendons snaking off it in all directions like
* ChainsawGood: The robots initially developed for construction duty attack with buzzsaws.
* CyberCyclops: The weakest and most mass-produced humanoid robot type has these.
* EyeScream: A melee animation against a more humanoid enemy has the player gouge their eyes out.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: The most humanoid robots attack through a series of punches and kicks, and they are actually pretty good at it as well.
* HighPressureBlood: Played straight, as a demonstrated eye-gouging finishing move immediately produces two thick, gushing jets of blood.
* HollywoodSilencer: The pistol seen in the demo comes with a silencer which cuts down on sound far more effectively than anything seen in real life.
* ItemCrafting: Some weapons can be assembled in this manner.
* OptionalStealth: It appears possible to sneak past the less-aware enemies.
* ShortRangeShotgun: One of the available weapons. Possibly justified in that its shrapnel shot would be less effective against solid metal.
* SovietSuperscience: Played straight, at least up to a point it all went [[GoneHorriblyWrong horribly wrong.]]
* SpiderTank: A highly agile, though seemingly melee-only variant appears as a boss of the Pesticide Testing Hall location.
* WalkingHead: One of the robot types is a round head on two stout legs...and with a buzzsaw placed halfway through the head.
