Trying to survive in the alien world of Atropos can be intimidating, but Housemarque’s Returnal offers players plenty of weapons to defend against.

If you’re just wondering how to mix in Returnal , here are the important details you’ll need to know before jumping into roguelike.
How to mix in return
Leaving his crashed ship, Helios will find that Selene can only rely on her weapon, which turns out to be a pistol. There are no close range melee attacks available to you… yet.
Once you’ve progressed a bit further towards your first biome, the Overgrown Ruins, you will eventually stumble upon the impressive Atropian Blade. With this weapon in your arsenal, you can now begin your melee madness in Returnal.
Pressing the Square button triggers the melee attack that moves you forward with some momentum. This attack will be useful against enemies that get too close, and even more useful against protected enemies. Enemies with the red shield need a melee attack to break through.
It helps Atropian Blade’s melee attack hit hard and heavy, and should be used as an attack on a regular basis in Returnal.
If you find yourself just before you hit the ledge after a jump or a run, you can also use your melee attack to get a bit more range. Who knew melee attacks were so much fun!
