The Ukrainian government wants to ban Atomic Heart from digital stores in Ukraine. Alex Bornyakov, Ukraine's Deputy Min…
, Bornyakov stated:"Regarding the situation with the release of the game Atomic Heart, which has Russian roots and romanticises communist ideology and the Soviet Union, The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine will send an official letter to Sony, Microsoft, and Valve requesting a ban on selling digital versions of this game in Ukraine.
"According to media reports, the game's development was funded by Russian enterprises," Bornyakov continues."Therefore, we call for all users worldwide to avoid this game. We also want to emphasise that the game developers have not publicly condemned the Putin regime and the bloody war that Russia has unleashed against Ukraine."
Among multiple controversies, Mundfish has been criticised for disguising its Russian origins, the game's overtly pro-Soviet era themes and its choice of release date on the anniversary of Putin's declaration of war. It has also been accused of harvesting data for Russian authorities, something the developer has denied.
The game's save rooms contain a television where players can watch old episodes of beloved Soviet children's cartoon Nu, Pogodi! . The cartoon has been likened to Tom and Jerry, but one episode includes a racist depiction of an African tribesman.
