*Atomfall* is a distinctive RPG that empowers you to tailor your gaming experience to your preferences right from the start. With a variety of playstyles to choose from, you can pick the one that best suits your gaming style. If you're unsure which one to select, this guide will help you understand each playstyle in detail.

All Playstyles in Atomfall and How They Work

*Atomfall* offers a high degree of freedom in how you can experience its story. Upon starting a new game, you'll encounter five distinct playstyle modes, each designed to cater to different player preferences:

• Sightseer – Ideal for those who prefer a relaxed experience focused on the story. This "low-pressure mode" sets Exploration, Survival, and Combat to 'Assisted' difficulty, minimizing stress from combat and survival elements.

• Investigator – Suited for players who enjoy independent exploration without HUD assistance but prefer less stressful combat. Exploration is set to 'Challenging', while Survival is 'Casual' and Combat remains 'Assisted'.

• Brawler – For those who relish combat challenges. This mode sets Combat to 'Challenging', with Survival at 'Casual' and Exploration at 'Assisted', guiding you through the game's world.

• Survivor – Recommended by the developers, this mode offers a balanced challenge across all aspects. Combat, Survival, and Exploration are all set to 'Challenging'.

• Veteran – The most demanding mode, designed for players seeking a true test of skill. All three categories—Combat, Survival, and Exploration—are set to 'Intense'.

Choosing the right playstyle initially can be challenging. Fortunately, *Atomfall* allows you to switch playstyles without penalty. Simply pause the game, navigate to 'Options', and under the 'Game' tab, select 'Playstyle'. Here, you can adjust the difficulty of Combat, Survival, and Exploration to align with one of the predefined playstyles. For even more control, 'Advanced Options' lets you fine-tune multiple aspects within each category.

Which Atomfall Playstyle Should You Start With?

*Atomfall* aims to provide a balanced gameplay experience, allowing you to decide what challenges you want to face. If you're choosing from the 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 experience accordingly.

However, the most flexible option is the customized playstyle, which lets you tailor every aspect of the game to your liking. From enemy behavior to exploration and bartering, you have complete control over your gaming experience. Importantly, there are no achievements or trophies tied to specific difficulty levels, so feel free to change your playstyle as often as you wish.
