Atomfall: A Guide to All Playstyles

*Atomfall* is an RPG that offers players a high degree of flexibility in how they want to experience the game. This starts with selecting your preferred playstyle from a variety of options. If you're unsure about which playstyle to choose, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you understand each one.

All Playstyles in Atomfall and How They Work

Upon starting a new save in *Atomfall*, you're greeted with a Playstyle menu that offers five distinct modes, tailored to the experience you're seeking:

• Sightseer – Ideal for players who want to immerse themselves in the story without the stress of combat or survival. This mode sets Exploration, Survival, and Combat to 'Assisted' difficulty, making it a low-pressure environment.
• Investigator – Suited for those who enjoy exploring without hints or HUD assistance but prefer less stressful combat. Exploration is set to 'Challenging' difficulty, while Survival is 'Casual' and Combat remains 'Assisted'.
• Brawler – Designed for players who relish challenging combat. Combat is set to 'Challenging' difficulty, with Survival at 'Casual' and Exploration at 'Assisted', providing more guidance in non-combat areas.
• Survivor – Recommended by the developers, this mode offers a balanced challenge across all aspects. Combat, Survival, and Exploration are all set to 'Challenging' difficulty.
• Veteran – The most demanding mode for players seeking to test their skills to the limit. All categories—Combat, Survival, and Exploration—are set to 'Intense' difficulty.

Choosing the right playstyle initially can be challenging. However, *Atomfall* allows you to adjust your playstyle at any time without penalty. Simply pause the game, navigate to 'Options', and under the 'Game' tab, select 'Playstyle'. Here, you can tweak the difficulty settings for Combat, Survival, and Exploration to align with one of the predefined playstyles or customize your experience further through 'Advanced Options'.

Which Atomfall Playstyle Should You Start With?

*Atomfall* is crafted to provide a balanced gameplay experience, allowing you to tailor your journey to your preferences. If you're deciding between the five default playstyles, starting with either **Investigator** or **Brawler** could be beneficial. These options will help you gauge your comfort with the game's combat and exploration mechanics, allowing you to adjust your settings as needed.

For the ultimate personalized experience, consider using the customized playstyle option. This allows you to fine-tune every aspect of the game, from enemy behavior to exploration and bartering, ensuring your gameplay aligns perfectly with your style.

It's worth noting that there are no achievements or trophies linked to completing the game on specific difficulties, so feel free to switch your playstyle as often as you like without worrying about missing out on rewards.
