Are you struggling to unlock all the achievements in Nova Strike? Look no further! This Achievement Guide will provide you with all the necessary information to conquer all 18 achievements in the game. As a first-time game guide creator on Steam, I have kept this guide short and simple to help you easily understand and achieve your goals. While I work on a more detailed guide that meets Steam’s publishing criteria, I hope this guide will be useful to you. Let’s get started!
Achievement Guide
- Take-off – Start the first run
- Start the game and take off in your 1st flight run.
- << Catch me ! >> – Get perfect dodge bonus by not getting hit in a stage
- Complete 1 stage without being hit by an enemy.
- I’ll be back – Die for the first time
- Get shot down and die for the 1st time.
- << Not that one ! >> – Discard a weapon
- Discard an Additional Weapon while in flight. If you swap an Additional Weapon for another one it will not unlock the achievement. You have to simply drop one Additional Weapon while flying.
- Space warrior – Kill 100 enemies overall
- Killing 100 enemies is easily obtained in your 1st run toward the end of chapter one.
- Space terror – Kill 1,000 enemies overall
- Killing 1,000 enemies is easily obtainable with multiple runs.
- Make them pay – Collect 5,000 coins in one run
- Collect a total of 5,000 coins in a single run without dying. Easily gained in your 1st run if you reach a few stages into chapter two.
- Jackpot – Collect 10,000 coins in one run
- Collect a total of 10,000 coins in a single run without dying. You’ll obtain this by chapter three if you started at chapter one.
- I know a shortcut – Buy the chapter shortcut, available after chapter one
- After completing a chapter you’ll unlock the ability to purchase a skip to chapter when you die and need to start a new run.
- Lots of guns – Collect 20 weapons in one run
- Achievement unlocks by collecting 20 Additional Weapons in a single run without dying.
If you start at chapter one, you should gain the achievement by the start of chapter three from swapping Additional Weapons frequently. There are nine different Additional Weapons that could be acquired throughout the game, and you can hold two at a time.
- Fine-tuned – Equip 5 chips or more
- Achievement is gained when you have a total of 5 chips equipped at once on your spacecraft.
These could be Bonus Chips you receive at the end of a stage, Disposable Chips purchased at the Popup Store, or Upgrade Chips purchased at the Upgrade Shop.
Purchasing additional Chip Slots is required to equip 5 chips at once, as you only start with 3 Chip Slots and different chips require 1 to 4 Chip Slots to be installed.
- Prepared for everything – Unlock all chip slots
- After you purchase the max amount of Chip Slots, which is a total of 12, achievement will unlock.
You start the game with 3 Chip Slots already installed. Additional Chip Slots are available for purchase at either the Popup Store at the end of stages or at the Upgrade Shop in The Hub.
Chip Slots 4 through 6 are available to purchase during chapter one, 7 through 9 are available to purchase during chapter two, and Chip Slots 10 through 12 are available during chapter three.
Once you’ve purchased a Chip Slot they are permanently installed in your spacecraft.
- Out of stock – Buy all chips in upgrade shop
- There’s a total of nineteen Upgrade Chips to purchase from the Upgrade Shop.
Each chapter completed will unlock more Upgrade Chips, and all Upgrade Chips are permanently yours even if you die during a flight run or complete the game.
- << Missed your train ? >> – Defeat chapter 1 boss
- When you defeat the 1st boss and close out chapter one this achievement will be unlocked.
- Under siege – Defeat chapter 2 boss
- When you defeat the 2nd boss and close out chapter two this achievement will be unlocked.
