ATOMIC LANCE

ATOMIC LANCE is a first-person action game set in a post-war world ruled by mega-corporations. You play as a cybernetic combatant—a Black Project—fighting fierce enemies, collecting and installing new parts, and navigating a brutal economy where power and wealth influence your firepower and survival.

Core concept

You are an apex predator in a corporate playground. With jet engines enabling agile mobility and four weapon slots at your command, you can unleash a personalized arsenal—from compact Twinlong twin cannons to the devastating Volcano Cannon. Each build aims to balance raw firepower with reliability and upkeep, making every encounter a test of planning as well as reflexes.

Loadout, combat, and upgrades

Your objective is simple in form but brutal in practice: obliterate foes, then invest in better parts to push your build further. You’ll gather and purchase equipment to tune your loadout, while managing ammo and maintenance costs that scale with your power. The arena, intended for money and part rewards, is planned but not yet implemented, so early play emphasizes missions and gear progression.

Missions, world, and factions

The world is shaped by six mega-corporations that own the post-nuclear landscape. Missions pit you against corporate drones and human forces, with contracts that test your resolve and loyalties. You operate as a mercenary in W&W Corporation territory, gathering parts, taking on clients, and fighting rebels to sustain food, ammo, and your found family. Dark technologies and hidden projects lurk in the shadows, hinting at deeper threats behind every weapon.

Early Access status

As of update v0.4.4, progress is partial: 2 missions released out of 16 planned, and 30 parts out of 100 planned. Several systems are placeholders and controller support is not fully implemented, with many objects awaiting final assets. Arena mode remains unavailable in this build.

Economy and balance

ATOMIC LANCE embraces a buy-to-win dynamic: stronger weapons are more accessible to bigger spenders, while top-tier parts require greater expenditure for ammo and maintenance. The design rewards wealth with power, but challenges you to maintain profitability and endurance as you push deeper into hostile environments.
