The international gaming press has recently unveiled their final previews for Atomfall, the highly anticipated post-apocalyptic RPG developed by Rebellion, the masterminds behind the acclaimed Sniper Elite series. Critics have been overwhelmingly positive, praising Atomfall for its homage to Bethesda's legendary titles while simultaneously establishing a unique identity of its own.
Reviewers have dubbed Atomfall as a distinctly British rendition of the Fallout series. The game is packed with survival mechanics, an extensive arsenal of weapons, and a diverse range of adversaries, from cultists and robots to mutants. Players will dive into a world filled with non-linear quests and a robust dialogue system that enriches the game's narrative.
Exploration is at the heart of Atomfall. The protagonist, new to this post-apocalyptic world, depends on interactions with NPCs and tools like metal detectors to unearth the secrets hidden within the environment. The media has lauded the game's focus on environmental storytelling and the thrill of uncovering hidden gems.
A unique aspect highlighted by reviewers is the unreliable nature of firearms in Atomfall. Players often encounter shotguns with scant ammunition, left behind by farmers or bandits. This scarcity pushes players to rely on melee weapons and bows as crucial survival tools.
Set in the year 1962 in northern England, Atomfall unfolds in the wake of a nuclear catastrophe at the Windscale power plant. Players will navigate a vast exclusion zone teeming with peril and mystery.
Atomfall is slated for release on March 27, available on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Excitingly, the game will be accessible on Xbox Game Pass right from its launch day.
