Rebellion Developments·Released Mar 27, 2025·Single player
A nuclear disaster has left an area of Britain in tatters. Atomfall, a new survival-action game, will see you explore, scavenge, craft, barter and fight your way through beautifully recreated scenery in search of answers.
Like the world it depicts, something exciting and unique lies at Atomfall's core. I just wish it wasn't walled off by a laundry list of frustrations.
With its wide-open quest design, Atomfall takes a novel approach to storytelling that helps push through some of its lesser parts.
The villagers of Wyndham are miserable. Stuck in a military cordon with little to do except look up at the exploded power plant that put them there, escape made even less feasible by the bandits and forest cultists on the other side, even the stiffest upper lips are starting to…
A trip through the British countryside takes a nasty turn.
In this Eurogamer review of Atomfall, find out why a difficult start doesn't mean this intriguing tale isn't worth discovering.
"'It's up to you' is the philosophy at the heart of Atomfall"
Atomfall commits to embodying everything it means to be British, and it comes out the other side all the better for it. The mystery at the heart of the alternate 1960s setting is gripping, forever teasing clues and solutions to a way out of its rural quarantine zone. Its combat systems and mechanics let the experience down, but Rebellion's latest peaks when it makes you the countryside's Inspector Gadget with a bunch of Leads to pursue and villagefolk to suspect.
Atomfall is a compelling, post-apocalyptic survival story that satisfyingly bends to your choices and discoveries no matter which direction you take.
