International gaming press has delivered glowing previews for Atomfall, Rebellion's upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG—the minds behind Sniper Elite are at it again! Reviewers are consistently impressed, highlighting Atomfall's unique blend of familiar Bethesda-esque elements and a distinctly original identity.
Critics describe Atomfall as a British take on the Fallout franchise, boasting compelling survival mechanics, a vast arsenal of weapons, and a diverse roster of enemies including cultists, robots, and mutants. Expect non-linear quests and an immersive dialogue system that significantly enriches the narrative experience.
Exploration is paramount in Atomfall. The protagonist's unfamiliarity with the ravaged landscape necessitates reliance on NPCs and tools like metal detectors to unearth the secrets hidden within the environment. Journalists lauded the game's masterful use of environmental storytelling and the rewarding nature of its hidden discoveries.
Interestingly, reviewers highlighted the unreliability of firearms in Atomfall. Players will frequently encounter shotguns with limited ammunition, remnants left behind by farmers or bandits. This necessitates mastering melee combat and archery as crucial survival skills.
Set in the nuclear wasteland of northern England in 1962, following a devastating disaster at the Windscale power plant, Atomfall plunges players into a sprawling exclusion zone brimming with peril and intrigue.
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.
