Atomfall PC Keyboard Controls Guide

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, Misc. Guides / 21 Mar 2025

Atomfall plunges you into post-nuclear Britain! Survival-action game meets surreal British holiday gone horribly, hilariously wrong. Inspired by a real-life nuclear… mishap in Northern England, you’re stepping into a quarantine zone five years after events went properly pear-shaped. Prepare to be scrounging, fighting off trouble with whatever you can grab, negotiating with individuals who are a bit too friendly, fighting creatures that definitely weren’t included in the brochures. And oh yes, did we mention the cults, oddballs & government types who are probably more trouble than they’re worth??

Welcome to Atomfall, courtesy of the deranged minds behind Sniper Elite and Zombie Army. Your mission: survive, solve a mystery, and maybe learn why everyone’s talking with a strange accent. First things first, though, before you’re swapping beans and smashing baddies, you have to get to grips with the… keyboard. Yes, those trusty keys are your best pals in this post-apocalyptic adventure… think of this as your “Don’t Get Mutated Into a Teapot” guide to Atomfall’s keyboard controls.
