In other words, their very armour has a swimsuit detail that exists for no other reason than to sexualise these killer 'bots. I love the fact that as part of their design, someone went to the trouble of carving out the outlines of a skimpy, revealing swimsuit that tucks in as close as conceivably possible around the butt and crotch without quite revealing the goods. But where the underlying fetish before seemed to be ‘abnormally tall woman with an air of nobility,’ here it’s more of a cyber-dominatrix vibe.

The general consensus seems to be ‘Probably yes, but who gives a shit. While the game’s story leaves quite a bit to be desired, its vision of an atompunk-inspired alt-history Soviet Union is a powerful one, filled with fun robots and superpowers and all the pomp of an old Soviet propaganda poster.īut it seems that of all the cool retro-styled robot designs, none have had quite the same impact on players as the game’s robotic twin antagonist, called Left and Right, who have already inspired all kinds of not-so SFW fan art, instantly popular 'All Robot Twins Scenes' YouTube videos, memes, collaboration with Russian condom brands, and–judging by the discussions on Reddit–a whole bunch of people asking themselves if it’s weird to be sexually attracted to two faceless, shapely (not to mention deadly) slabs of chrome metal. There was the fleshy wordless hellscape of Scorn, then very-much wordy alienscape of High on Life, and now we have Atomic Heart.
