The international gaming press has released their final previews for Atomfall, the highly anticipated post-apocalyptic RPG developed by Rebellion, the masterminds behind the Sniper Elite series. Reviewers have been thoroughly impressed, highlighting that Atomfall draws significant inspiration from Bethesda's iconic titles while firmly establishing its own unique identity.
Critics have likened Atomfall to a British-flavored version of Fallout. The game immerses players in a rich world with robust survival mechanics, a diverse arsenal of weapons, and a broad spectrum of adversaries ranging from cultists and robots to mutants. Players will dive into non-linear quests and an engaging dialogue system that enriches the narrative experience.
Exploration is a cornerstone of Atomfall. The protagonist, new to the post-apocalyptic landscape, depends on NPCs and tools such as metal detectors to unearth the myriad secrets hidden within the game's environment. Journalists have praised the game's focus on environmental storytelling and the thrill of uncovering hidden discoveries.
A unique aspect of Atomfall is the unreliable nature of firearms. Players will frequently encounter shotguns with scant ammunition, left behind by farmers or bandits. Consequently, melee weapons and bows become indispensable for survival in this challenging world.
Set in the year 1962, Atomfall unfolds in northern England following a catastrophic nuclear disaster at the Windscale power plant. Players will navigate a vast exclusion zone teeming with danger and intrigue.
Atomfall is scheduled to launch on March 27 across multiple platforms including PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Notably, the game will be accessible on Xbox Game Pass from its release day, offering gamers a seamless entry into this captivating post-apocalyptic adventure.
