Quest for infamy speedrun
Today the Ratalaika players are upping their game and their usual prices by sending off players on the Quest for Infamy. The mission was flagged as a success and the achievement popped, even though my entire squad had been wiped.Were surprised if the Ratalaika team would not push a cheap, cheerful gaming experience with a week? These normally come in form of visual novels, or quirky little platformers that are re-employable within one hour.

I thought I was screwed and would have to try again, but then I saw that the main objective was counted as complete, even though the VIP was taken out by his own side. The enemies mopped up the rest of my troops, and the mission ended. The Gatekeeper used an AOE attack to wipe out 2 of my soldiers, which also happened to also kill the VIP when the car he was hiding behind exploded. My rookies panicked and scattered, refusing to follow orders as they watched each other get mowed down. It moved in and started tearing my squad apart. There was a Gatekeeper sitting on the evac point (one of the toughest non-boss enemies in the game). But when I got line of sight on the evac point, everything fell apart.

I had found the VIP, who happened to be right next to the extraction point. I just needed to take care of the target and get the hell out. This meant that I didn't need to worry about actually killing any enemies with my squishy rookies that couldn't hit anything. I chose a mission where I had to either capture or kill an enemy VIP. This isn't the rarest achievement I have (2%), or the most difficult one to get, but I am proud of it mostly because I earned it on my first attempt and initially thought I had failed. For those who haven't played the game, this basically means that you need to clear a late-game mission with a squad made up entirely of soldiers with no experience (which means no skills or special gear, minimum hit points, and lowest possible stats). Probably "Beginner's Luck" in XCOM2 ("Beat a mission in June or later using only Rookies). Kinda hard to feel pride about anything when I know I'm just a drop in the Steam ocean. Others have done those before me and more can do those after me (assuming people actually still play those games.). Those range from easy to somewhat challenging.īut, eh, now I'm just listing "hard" achievements. To unlock those, you need to get an SS rank on all the main pre-bonus levels. If I remember correctly, it's for getting an SS rank (or, however it was called) on one of the bonus levels.

There is also Dustforce's only achievement- "Double S+". Only took me 525 deaths according to the ending summary. That one is for beating the final boss without getting hit. Hmm, another one that comes to mind is "Savior: Flawless!" in Wings of Vi.

Other than beating some of the bosses on Special Difficulty, which can be done in Match Mode thus skipping the stages before them, it really wasn't too difficult. But, then again, I only even attempted that because I knew it's on the very easy side as far as Bullet Hell games go. (The achievement is just named "Sora" and it's for getting all the other achievements- yeah, not very original- one of which is for beating the true final boss on "Special" Difficulty.) It is the first bullet hell game I ever 100%-ed. I guess maybe I felt a little bit of pride when I got the last achievement in Sora. When I think about it, do I actually feel pride at any point when achievement hunting? Or am I just ticking a checkbox because I know that I can?
