Atomfall: Post-Apocalyptic RPG Adventure Revealed

International gaming outlets have published their final previews for Atomfall, the upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG from Rebellion, the studio behind Sniper Elite. Critics were impressed, highlighting how Atomfall takes clear inspiration from Bethesda's legendary titles while confidently establishing its own unique flavor.

As reviewers describe, Atomfall feels like a distinctly British interpretation of Fallout. The game incorporates survival elements, an extensive arsenal of weaponry, and a diverse cast of adversaries such as cultists, robots, and mutants. It also features branching, non-linear quests and a compelling dialogue system that enriches the storytelling.

Exploration is a core pillar of Atomfall. The main character is a stranger in this unfamiliar world, depending on interactions with NPCs and gear like metal detectors to reveal the many secrets hidden across the landscape. Journalists applauded the focus on environmental narrative and the thrill of uncovering hidden details.

An interesting point noted by critics is the unreliability of firearms in Atomfall. Players will frequently discover shotguns with just a handful of shells remaining, left behind by farmers or bandits. This scarcity makes melee weapons and bows vital for staying alive.

Atomfall is set in Northern England in 1962, following a nuclear incident at the Windscale power plant. Gamers will venture into a vast and hazardous exclusion zone, rife with mystery.

Atomfall launches on March 27 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. The title will be available on Xbox Game Pass from its release day.
