Angels Fall First beginner guide.

A practical first-session route for a game that asks you to understand infantry, vehicles, ships, and objectives at once.

Reviewed

Direct answer

Start the optional four-part tutorial, use practice or wargames to test one combat layer, then play a bot-filled objective match before joining a busy server.

Use this Angels Fall First beginner guide page as the current, source-checked answer for this player task. The scope is intentionally practical: confirmed facts first, then clear limits where the official record is still incomplete.

1. Start with the tutorial

The official tutorial is the safest first stop in this Angels Fall First beginner guide. Its four chapters cover Infantry Basics, Vehicle Basics, Space Combat Basics, and a Game Mode Briefing. You learn targeting, squad commands, healing, redeploying, vehicle launch, turret commands, subsystem repairs, fighter flight, boarding, core lockouts, objective types, and objective progress.

2. Practice one layer at a time

After the tutorial, use a practice match or wargames sandbox. Start with infantry, then add one vehicle or fighter. Capital ships are the signature system, but they are easier to understand once you know what the exterior and interior objectives are asking you to do. The how to play page explains the tutorial chapters in order.

3. Use bots before a live lobby

Steam says all scenarios can be played offline and online with bots filling player slots. That makes a bot match a useful learning tool rather than a fallback. Pick an objective, follow the squad markers, and observe how a vehicle or ship changes the route. Do not treat bot behavior as a perfect model of human strategy; the official notes describe ongoing AI improvements.

4. Pick a role, not a tier

Your first useful role can be a soldier clearing a building, a vehicle crew member supporting a capture, a fighter pilot protecting a ship, or a capital-ship station operator. The official descriptions support these roles, but they do not publish a universal best class or loadout. Use gameplay and weapons and loadouts for orientation, then tune your own settings.

First-session checklist

  • Confirm the 1.0 build on Steam.
  • Complete the infantry and vehicle tutorial chapters.
  • Try one practice or bot-filled objective match.
  • Read the controls page before changing every keybind.
  • Return to troubleshooting if the version, input, or server path behaves unexpectedly.
