Atlas Fallen review (Xbox): An entertaining desert adventure in need of some sandpaper

Photomode screenshot of the player taking on Wraiths in Atlas Fallen

Imagine a world where you are a slave to a tyrannical empire ruled by Thelos, an evil sun god who has reduced the world to a lifeless desert and populated it with giant sand-elemental monsters called Wraiths. Then one day, you discover an ancient, mystical Gauntlet which has the power to shape the sands around you into weapons that will help you overthrow Thelos and save the world. 

This is the world of Atlas Fallen, a new action-RPG developed by Deck13, the creators of The Surge and the original Lords of the Fallen. Unlike Deck13’s previous projects which were soulslike games, Atlas Fallen is a more traditional open-world affair where you fight giant monsters using a fast-paced, acrobatic combat system.
