Struggling with Atomfall's difficulty? Learn how to change your Playstyle settings mid-game through the main menu's 'Options' and 'Game' tabs. We guide you through the less obvious menu path.
So, you've jumped into Atomfall and maybe the challenge is a bit more than you bargained for, or perhaps you're feeling brave and want to crank it up? No worries, you can absolutely change the difficulty settings even after you've started a new game. The menus can be a little tricky to navigate for this specific option, but I've got you covered.
When you're in the middle of playing, just bring up the game's main menu and head over to Options. Now, you might look around and think there's nothing obvious about changing the difficulty here – and honestly, it took us a minute to find it too! To change the difficulty settings while you're actually playing, you need to go into the “Game” tab. Once you're there, select the “Playstyle” option. This will bring up the familiar difficulty settings that you saw when you first started the game, allowing you to adjust the challenge to your liking.
Heads up: One player, Ransu70, mentioned they couldn't find the 'Playstyle' option under OPTIONS > GAME, with AUTOSAVE FREQUENCY being the first setting listed. If you run into the same issue, it might be worth double-checking your game version or looking for any specific patch notes related to menu navigation, as this option should be available.
