The foundation for this game lies conceptually, and Atomfall leaves a lasting impression on that aspect. The game transports players to an alternate 1960s setting in Northern England, which, despite being labeled as post-apocalyptic, presents a world far from the stereotypical post-apocalyptic landscapes suggested by similar games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Fallout. Instead, Atomfall’s quarantine zone is bursting with life, filled with lush greenery, vivid colors, and a bright atmosphere.
Contrary to typical post-apocalyptic settings where one might feel isolated, the populated world of Atomfall houses characters that, while not conventionally sane, are uniquely quirky and endearing. The game takes pride in its eccentricity and offbeat nature, even adding an unexpected comedic element to the narrative. In essence, Atomfall is a game that embraces and celebrates its peculiarities.
