Each playstyle in *Atomfall* is thoughtfully crafted to match your desired gameplay experience:

• Sightseer – Ideal for those who wish to immerse themselves in the story without the pressure of intense combat or survival challenges. Exploration, Survival, and Combat are all set to 'Assisted' difficulty, making it a low-stress mode.
• Investigator – Perfect for players who enjoy exploring without hints or HUD assistance but prefer to keep combat manageable. Exploration is set to 'Challenging' difficulty, while Survival is 'Casual' and Combat remains 'Assisted'.
• Brawler – Designed for those who relish combat and welcome a challenge from enemies. Combat is set to 'Challenging' difficulty, with Survival at 'Casual' and Exploration at 'Assisted'.
• 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 – For the most dedicated players seeking the ultimate test in every area. Combat, Survival, and Exploration are all set to 'Intense' difficulty.

Choosing the right playstyle at the outset can be daunting, but *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 adjust the difficulty settings for Combat, Survival, and Exploration to align with one of the predefined playstyles or customize your experience further through 'Advanced Options'.

*Atomfall* is designed to offer a balanced gameplay experience, but the choice of playstyle ultimately depends on your personal preferences. If you're unsure, starting with either the **Investigator** or **Brawler** playstyle can help you gauge your comfort with the game's combat and exploration mechanics. From there, you can fine-tune your experience to suit your taste.

For the most personalized experience, consider creating a custom playstyle. This allows you to adjust every aspect of the game, from enemy behavior to exploration ease and bartering, ensuring that your gameplay aligns perfectly with your style.

Importantly, there are no achievements or trophies tied to completing the game on specific difficulties, so feel free to switch your playstyle as often as you like without any repercussions.
