Step into the retro-futuristic wasteland of Atomfall, a new game from the creators of [ttpp] revealed in an extended gameplay trailer. This immersive experience plunges you into a 1962 quarantine zone in northern England, the aftermath of a devastating nuclear power plant disaster.
Explore this hazardous landscape, uncovering secrets through meticulous investigation and engaging conversations with a cast of memorable NPCs. As a player, you'll shape your own narrative; the protagonist is undefined, allowing for personalized interactions and a truly unique journey. Forget traditional quest markers—Atomfall champions exploration and discovery, fostering an authentic sense of adventure.
Survival hinges on resourcefulness. Money is worthless in this quarantined world; instead, you'll rely on bartering with traders to acquire essential supplies. Gather resources wisely, for danger lurks around every corner: gangs, cultists, mutants, and deadly remnants of a bygone era populate this grim landscape. Inventory management is crucial; limited carrying capacity forces tough choices, adding a layer of strategic depth to every decision. Navigate carefully, as traps and mines further complicate your path.
Visually, Atomfall maintains the atmospheric style of Rebellion's previous works, presenting a detailed and grim depiction of post-disaster England. While not graphically groundbreaking, the atmosphere is undeniably compelling. The limited inventory system adds a layer of complexity, encouraging strategic planning and resource management. Upgrade your gear, especially melee weapons, to effectively combat the various threats—sects, bandits, and mutated creatures—that stand in your way.
Atomfall launches March 27th for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, and will be available Day One with Game Pass.
