Atomfall: Exploring All Playstyles

*Atomfall* is an RPG that offers a personalized gaming experience, allowing players to tailor their journey to their preferred playstyle. When starting a new game, you're presented with a choice of five distinct playstyles, each designed to cater to different aspects of gameplay. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you understand and choose the best playstyle for your *Atomfall* adventure.

All Playstyles in Atomfall and How They Work

*Atomfall* prides itself on offering players the utmost freedom in how they wish to experience its narrative. At the beginning of a new save, you'll encounter the Playstyle menu, which features five predetermined playstyle modes, each tailored to a specific gaming experience.

• Sightseer – This "low-pressure mode" is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in the story without the stress of combat or survival. Exploration, Survival, and Combat are all set to 'Assisted' difficulty.
• Investigator – Ideal for players who enjoy exploring independently without hints or HUD assistance, while keeping combat manageable. Exploration is set to 'Challenging' difficulty, Survival to 'Casual', and Combat to 'Assisted'.
• Brawler – Designed for players who relish combat challenges. Exploration and Survival are more guided, with Combat set to 'Challenging' difficulty, while Survival and Exploration remain at 'Casual' and 'Assisted', respectively.
• Survivor – Recommended by the developers, this mode offers a balanced challenge across all aspects of the game. Combat, Survival, and Exploration are all set to 'Challenging' difficulty.
• Veteran – The most demanding mode, intended for seasoned players seeking a rigorous test in every area. Combat, Survival, and Exploration are all set to 'Intense' difficulty.

Choosing the right playstyle initially can be challenging, but *Atomfall* allows you to adjust your playstyle at any time without penalty. To do this, pause your game, navigate to 'Options', and select the 'Game' tab where 'Playstyle' is located at the top. Here, you can toggle the difficulty of Combat, Survival, and Exploration to suit your preferences, aligning with one of the other playstyles.

For more detailed customization, you can access 'Advanced Options' to fine-tune various aspects of each category, ensuring your gameplay experience is exactly as you want it.

Which Atomfall Playstyle Should You Start With?

*Atomfall* aims to provide a balanced experience, allowing you to decide what challenges you want to embrace. When choosing from the default playstyle options, starting with either the **Investigator** or **Brawler** can be a great way to gauge your comfort level with the game's combat and exploration mechanics. From there, you can easily adjust your playstyle as needed.

However, the most flexible and potentially rewarding option is to create a customized playstyle. This allows you to tailor every element of the game to your personal preferences, from enemy behavior to the ease of exploration and bartering. Importantly, there are no achievements or trophies linked to specific difficulty settings, so feel free to change your playstyle as often as you like to enhance your enjoyment.
