About the Game

Set five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster in Northern England, Atomfall plunges you into a survival-action experience rooted in real historical events.

Step into a quarantined, alternate reality of rural Britain, where nature reclaims the land and forgotten secrets fester. As a lone survivor, you’ll scavenge for vital resources, craft weapons, barter with enigmatic factions, and confront both human and supernatural threats hiding beneath the surface.

Crafted by Rebellion—the acclaimed studio behind *Sniper Elite* and *Zombie Army*—Atomfall blends post-apocalyptic tension with folk horror to challenge you to uncover the truth behind a cover-up that changed the fate of a nation.

Unfold a Living Mystery: Discover the hidden threads of a complex narrative through exploration, dialogue, forensic investigation, and intense encounters. Your decisions shape the story, revealing consequences that ripple across the world.

Survive by Any Means: Resources are scarce and danger is everywhere. Scavenge abandoned buildings, craft survival gear and improvised weapons, and fight to stay alive in a land that wants you gone.

Combat Under Pressure: Ammunition is rare—choose your shots wisely. Combine precision shooting with brutal melee encounters, and manage your stamina and heart rate to land that decisive strike with a crowbar, knife, or trusty cricket bat.

A Beautiful, Broken World: Rolling green hills, sleepy villages, and misty forests mask a landscape of ruin and dread. Traverse cult-occupied ruins, ancient caves, hidden bunkers, and irradiated zones in a richly detailed open world that feels hauntingly familiar—yet utterly wrong.

Inspired by History, Twisted by Fiction: Reimagining the 1957 Windscale fire through the lens of sci-fi and folk horror, Atomfall merges Cold War paranoia with eerie British mythos to create a chilling alternate past that feels disturbingly real.

Great game, refreshingly different. Has it's flaws but is great fun. Can be frightening, scary, funny, stupid and frustrating but it looks great and has good longevity due to the many endings. DLC's add extra layers.

Graphics are great. Story was great also. Combat and inventory system was okay. Good gameplay and very entertaining. Figuring out where to go and what to do was pretty cool. No hand-holding. Lots of possible endings

Not a terrible game, but rather disappointing, since almost everything is falling short of what it should be. The characters and the plot as well as many of the leads seemed quite interesting at first, but none of the

Fallout in Britain with lots of mysteries to explore. Nice atmosphere. No filler quests. If you enjoy the Fallout style and like to follow clues instead of quest markers, you will like this one.

Have played 1000 of hours in S.T.A.L.K.E.R (all 4 of them) and just as much in all the Fallout games - was my expectation not particular high as it initially looked like a knockoff, but despite the setting seem similar
