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.
According to the reviews, Atomfall offers a distinctly British take on the Fallout series. The game includes robust survival mechanics, a diverse arsenal of weapons, and a range of enemies such as cultists, robots, and mutants. Players can also 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, must rely on NPCs and tools like metal detectors to uncover secrets hidden throughout the environment. Journalists have praised the game's focus on environmental storytelling and the thrill of discovery.
Interestingly, reviewers have pointed out that firearms are not always dependable in Atomfall. Players will often come across shotguns with limited ammunition, left behind by farmers or bandits. As a result, melee weapons and bows become crucial for survival in this unpredictable world.
Set in northern England in 1962, Atomfall takes place in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster at the Windscale power plant. Players will explore a vast exclusion zone teeming with danger and intrigue.
Atomfall is scheduled to launch on March 27 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. The game will also be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, making it accessible to a wide audience of gamers eager to delve into this post-apocalyptic adventure.
