A British Gaming Delight
If you haven’t noticed already, Atomfall is a quintessentially British game, and it’s packed with charm and eccentricity! Featuring the unmistakable red phone boxes, plummy, moustachioed army generals, and, of course, exploding sheep. Yes, you heard that right—combustible farmyard animals might just be the unsung heroes of British gaming. Nothing brings a nostalgic smile quite like the memories of sending a younger brother’s worms scattering with a well-placed woolly bomb!
The Dangers of the Quarantine Zone
As highlighted in a recent video dive into the game, traversing the post-nuclear disaster quarantine zone around Windscale introduces a myriad of hazards. Mines and guard posts are just the tip of the iceberg. You’d be wise to tread cautiously, as you may stumble upon sheep corpses scattered throughout the landscape. Beware—the notorious exploding sheep can infect you with spores that creep into your lungs, leaving you to collapse, lifeless. Quite the health hazard, wouldn’t you agree?
Inquisitive Exploration Awaits
Atomfall doesn’t adhere to a traditional quest system, rather offering various leads that weave through a larger, interconnected web of stories. Encountering NPCs who may assist you—or have motives of their own—will keep you guessing throughout your adventure. Oh, and let’s not forget the enticing mystery of those ringing phone boxes. Will you dare to answer the call? You might just receive helpful advice or cryptic warnings, and who knows what kind of thrilling tales await you as you hunt down someone named Oberon!
Atomfall launches on March 30, and it is bound to provide a unique gaming experience that is as unpredictable as it is delightful! So gear up, and prepare for an adventure through a beautifully chaotic world!
