The international gaming press has released their final previews for Atomfall, the highly anticipated post-apocalyptic RPG developed by Rebellion, the creators of the acclaimed Sniper Elite series. Critics have been impressed, noting that Atomfall draws significant inspiration from Bethesda's iconic projects while establishing its own unique identity.
Reviewers have described Atomfall as a distinctly British take on the Fallout series. The game incorporates survival mechanics, a diverse arsenal of weapons, and a range of enemies, including cultists, robots, and mutants. Players can look forward to non-linear quests and an engaging dialogue system that enriches the narrative experience.
Exploration is a key component of Atomfall. The protagonist, unfamiliar with the post-apocalyptic world, relies on NPCs and tools such as metal detectors to uncover secrets hidden throughout the environment. Journalists have praised the game's focus on environmental storytelling and the thrill of discovery.
An interesting aspect highlighted by reviewers is the unreliability of firearms in Atomfall. Players will often encounter shotguns with limited ammunition, left behind by farmers or bandits. Consequently, melee weapons and bows become crucial for survival in this challenging world.
Set in northern England in 1962, Atomfall takes place in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster at the Windscale power plant. Players will navigate a vast exclusion zone filled with danger and intrigue.
Atomfall is scheduled to launch on March 27 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Excitingly, the game will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, offering players immediate access to this thrilling new RPG.
