*Atomfall* offers a unique RPG experience where you have the freedom to shape your gameplay to your preferences. When you start a new game, you're greeted with a Playstyle menu that lets you choose from five distinct playstyles, each tailored to different types of players. Let's dive into what each playstyle entails and how you can adjust your experience to suit your taste.
All Playstyles in Atomfall and How They Work
*Atomfall* prides itself on giving players the utmost freedom in how they want to experience its story. Here are the five predetermined playstyle modes you can choose from:
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, making it an ideal choice for a relaxed playthrough.
Investigator – Designed for players who enjoy exploring on their own terms without hints or HUD assistance, yet prefer to keep combat low-stress. Exploration is set to 'Challenging' difficulty, while Survival is 'Casual' and Combat remains 'Assisted'.
Brawler – Tailored for players who relish combat and don't shy away from a challenge. Combat is set to 'Challenging' difficulty, while Survival is 'Casual' and Exploration is 'Assisted', guiding you through the game's world.
Survivor – Recommended by the developers, this mode offers a balanced challenging experience across all aspects. Combat, Survival, and Exploration are all set to 'Challenging' difficulty, providing a well-rounded test of your skills.
Veteran – The most hardcore mode, intended for players who want to push their limits in every area. Combat, Survival, and Exploration are all set to 'Intense' difficulty, making it a true test of your gaming prowess.
If you find the playstyle you initially chose too stressful or too easy, you can easily adjust it without any penalty. Simply pause the game, navigate to 'Options', and under the 'Game' tab, select 'Playstyle'. Here, you can toggle the difficulty of Combat, Survival, and Exploration to switch to another playstyle. For even more detailed customization, head to 'Advanced Options' to fine-tune multiple aspects of each category.
Which Atomfall Playstyle Should You Start With?
*Atomfall* is designed to offer a balanced experience, but the best playstyle for you depends on what you find most enjoyable. If you're choosing from the five default options, starting with either **Investigator** or **Brawler** can help you gauge your comfort with the game's combat and exploration systems. From there, you can adjust your experience as needed.
However, the most flexible option is the customized playstyle, allowing you to tailor every aspect of the gameplay to your personal style. Whether it's how enemies behave, the ease of exploration, or bartering, you have the freedom to set your own limits.
It's worth noting that there are no achievements or trophies tied to completing the game on specific difficulties, so feel free to change your playstyle as often as you like without worrying about missing out on rewards.
