Atomfall Previews Highlight Post-Apocalyptic RPG Adventure

International gaming press has released their final previews for Atomfall, the upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG from Rebellion, the studio behind 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. Expect robust survival mechanics, a diverse arsenal of weapons, and a compelling roster of enemies including cultists, robots, and mutants. The narrative is further enriched by a non-linear quest structure and an engaging dialogue system.

Exploration is a core gameplay pillar in Atomfall. The protagonist's unfamiliarity with the post-apocalyptic landscape encourages players to utilize NPCs and tools like metal detectors to unearth the secrets hidden within the environment. Journalists lauded the game's clever use of environmental storytelling and the rewarding nature of these hidden discoveries.

Interestingly, reviewers noted a compelling twist on traditional firearm reliance. Players will frequently encounter firearms in a degraded state, such as shotguns with limited ammunition, abandoned by farmers or bandits. This scarcity necessitates mastering melee combat and archery, adding a unique layer of strategic depth to survival.

Set in the bleak, yet beautiful, northern England of 1962, Atomfall unfolds in the aftermath of a devastating nuclear disaster at the Windscale power plant. Players will navigate a vast and perilous exclusion zone, brimming with danger and intriguing mysteries.

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.
