Atomfall Previews Highlight Post-Apocalyptic RPG Adventure

International gaming press has released their final previews for Atomfall, the upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG from Rebellion, creators of Sniper Elite. Reviewers were consistently impressed, highlighting Atomfall's unique blend of familiar Bethesda-esque elements and a distinctly original identity.

Critics describe Atomfall as a distinctly British take on the Fallout formula. The game boasts robust survival mechanics, a diverse arsenal of weapons, and a compelling roster of enemies including cultists, robots, and mutants. A non-linear quest structure and an engaging dialogue system further enrich the narrative experience.

Exploration is central to Atomfall's gameplay. The protagonist, unfamiliar with their surroundings, relies on NPCs and tools like metal detectors to unearth the secrets hidden within the game's environment. Journalists lauded the game's emphasis on environmental storytelling and the rewarding nature of uncovering hidden discoveries.

Interestingly, reviewers noted the unreliability of firearms in Atomfall. Players will frequently encounter shotguns with limited ammunition, abandoned by previous inhabitants. This necessitates a reliance on melee weapons and bows for survival, adding a unique tactical layer to combat.

Set in northern England in 1962, Atomfall unfolds in the aftermath of a devastating nuclear disaster at the Windscale power plant. Players will explore a vast, dangerous exclusion zone brimming with intrigue and peril.

Atomfall launches March 27th for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one.
