This game beats you down and tells you that you're garbage from the start.
It keeps you in check by throwing constant threats at you, and kicking you while you're down.
Life is hard, and this is its materialization in game form.

But just like life, if you can manage to surpass the trials you've been given,
If you can eat the ♥♥♥♥ it forces in your face and take it with a smile,
Then in the end, everything...

still doesn't work out. But at least you made it *this* far.

Note before you read this: this is NOT a review of the game, rather it is an overview of TrionWorld's general pattern of game design and how that pattern may also come to affect this game as well.

Atlas Reactor is the newest game by Trion Worlds Inc. and right now as it is, it's a pretty fun game. However, this game may be fun at the moment but in about a year or so TrionWorlds will do to this game as they have done to all their other games in the past. They've been doing this for years and it's been working well for them in the past.

What is this I'm referring to?

Well, it's the inevitable pay-trap they go for in each of their other games.

Let's start off with their trademark Pay-to-Free-to-Play transitions. Each of their other games started out as a pay-game, either by subscription or by a one-time buyout. Later on, they turn it into a freemium game that gets you hooked into the core game and drags you down with it as the game regresses. Some would argue that this is an accceptable way of doing things if there were decent amounts of compansation, but with TrionWorlds, the pickings are slim here and most times the compensation is minimal and in some cases there is none at all.

After they're done with that, the next thing they move on to their store.

When the transition happens, their stores seem pretty inoccent. Nothing too overwhelming except for possibly a few reskins and maybe some mount reskins that would not have *that* much of an effect on the game. But later on they start adding in better mounts, in-game materials, Patron, and the dreaded loot-box. In my experience with Trion, Patron and loot boxes are what keep Trionworlds going. In some of their games, Patron gives you overwhelming amounts of buffs and stats to the point where you cannot live without it and you'll grind currency all day long just so you can get your fix for next month, but those korean gold/flux farmers make it harder and harder to get your fix, and it becomes so much more of a necessity late-game that you OD on the amount of grinding you have to do. Don't even get me started on the loot boxes. Their loot boxes are chock-full of in-game goods that will definitely boost you far past everyone else and will get all the veteran players who've invested time and money in the game to tell you "It's not pay to win, It's pay to progress" because half of these games have no real "end goal" so they try to slap on a kinder label, but let's just be honest. It's P2W plain and simple.

Once the shop has been butchered, they start messing with core game mechanics.

To fit in with their freshly-cut shop, they'll start screwing with the gear systems so that both the store and the system fall neatly in place for maximum profits. Gear drops become harder to find, extra measures are taken so that any attempts of good free gear are worthless, then the gear system becomes wildy impractical and aimed towards weeks of farming to extend the game's playtime by making it artificially harder. With those changes, the Loot Boxes in the store become more viable to some because of the amount of time they're saving by buying their gear instead of grinding it day-in and day-out. However, this only makes the Loot Box problem worse because they see that it's working and they'll start adding in more boxes, and make the game mechanics worse so that they compliment each other.

Now that they're done killing the game, it's time to start packing up. Gotta move those servers somewhere else.

This is a very noticeable trend with their other games. When their newest game starts to pick up momentum, they'll add servers for the time being, but as the game gets older and they release another one of their "games" you'll notice that the in-game gameplay quality starts going down over time. This is just a hunch, but what I think they've been doing is re-using their servers on their next game. When the playerbase of their last game starts dying, they'll re-route servers over to their newest game so it can run as pristinely as possible so it looks like they have good quality servers but all they're doing is making their older games run worse.

They've bled the game dry, time to make a new game!

The next new game that Trion makes always looks wonderful, and it is. For a time. Eventually all of their games have followed a pattern like the one I've written above.

My prediction for this game is that they're still going to try the underhanded tactics they've been using for their other games, but a bit differently since this game is unlike anything else they've done. Here's how it's going to go;

Have people pay for the game when it first releases: Done

Make the game Free to Play: Done

The Store will have boosts such as in-game currency booster or Turn Timer extender: X

Heroes will cost overwhelming amounts of Flux and the currency booster will become "viable": X

Heroes unobtainable using Flux, and only obtainable using the cash currency: X

Loot Boxes in the store containing Hero skins with attributes: X

Game starts dying, Server stability goes down: One upped; servers have been shut down

Half of the Devs get moved over to the next new project: More like all of them this time

I know people will disagree with what I'm saying, and tell me that this game may turn out better than the others from before. I hope it does, because then that would tell me that TrionWorlds isn't just making game after game for a cash-grab.

I sincerely hope that my overview reaches someone out there and heeds them to take caution with TrionWorlds, because I too have fallen victim of TrionWorld's ponzi scheme and I wish someone told me sooner it'd end this way.

Another note: If you're here to tell me that this doesn't belong here, the developers have already looked at this overview and they're fine with it being here. They marked it as off-topic and then changed it back.

I used to be a fabulously efficient taco tamer before I started this game

several hundreds of hours later I devolved into a back-alley cretin, snorting down the taco meat that I used to tame just so I can keep it together

Don't do Trove, kids. It'll ruin you.
