*Atomfall* is a unique RPG that offers a highly customizable experience, letting you tailor your gameplay to suit your preferences. When you begin your journey in *Atomfall*, you're presented with a variety of playstyles to choose from. If you're unsure which one to select, here's a detailed guide to help you understand each option.
All Playstyles in Atomfall and How They Work
*Atomfall* emphasizes player freedom, allowing you to shape your story experience. At the start of a new game, you'll encounter five distinct playstyle modes, each designed to cater to different types of gaming experiences:
Sightseer – Ideal for those who prefer to immerse themselves in the story without the pressure of intense combat or survival challenges. In this mode, Exploration, Survival, and Combat are all set to 'Assisted' difficulty, making it a low-stress option.
Investigator – Suited for players who enjoy independent exploration without relying on hints or HUD assistance. This mode sets Exploration to 'Challenging', Survival to 'Casual', and keeps Combat at 'Assisted', offering a balanced yet engaging experience.
Brawler – Tailored for those who relish combat. This mode increases the challenge with Combat set to 'Challenging', while Survival remains 'Casual' and Exploration is 'Assisted', guiding you through the game world.
Survivor – Recommended by the developers, this mode provides a uniformly challenging experience. Combat, Survival, and Exploration are all set to 'Challenging', offering a well-rounded test of your skills.
Veteran – For the most dedicated players seeking the ultimate challenge, this mode sets Combat, Survival, and Exploration to 'Intense' difficulty, pushing your abilities to the limit.
Choosing the right playstyle initially can be daunting, but *Atomfall* allows you to switch playstyles at any time without penalty. Simply pause the game, navigate to 'Options', and under the 'Game' tab, select 'Playstyle'. You can adjust the difficulty of Combat, Survival, and Exploration to fit one of the predefined modes or customize your experience further through 'Advanced Options'.
Which Atomfall Playstyle Should You Start With?
*Atomfall* is crafted to deliver a balanced gameplay experience, but the choice ultimately hinges on your personal enjoyment. If you're starting with one of the five default playstyles, **Investigator** or **Brawler** might be the best initial choices. These options allow you to gauge your comfort with the game's combat and exploration mechanics, enabling you to fine-tune your experience later.
For the most personalized experience, consider using the customized playstyle option. This allows you to adjust every facet of gameplay, from enemy behavior to the ease of exploration and resource management, ensuring the game aligns perfectly with your playstyle.
Importantly, 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 any repercussions.
