Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers Achievements + Character Guide

This guide will be showing you the steps on how to get all achievements in Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers. 加えて, you will also gain some knowledge about the in-game characters that you’re about to encounter.

序章

This guide is currently a work in process. As you most likely know, the game is very new, and I have not yet finished all the routes, albeit I am playing it even as I type this to find them as fast as I can, and I will add them when I do. 今のところ, I have attached the Character options each individual prefers, aside from the rival as he does not have one. When this guide is complete, I will delete this disclaimer, but for now I wanted the guide up – even in its bare bones because the personality types can very much help and save you time.

Here are some tips before you start:

• The typical dating-sim history back-scroll is turned off for your first playthrough on purpose. If you wish to go back and see what people said or did if you miss anything, you must press esc and go to “history”. This method also works on choice menus where the HUD is not visible.
• したがって, それはです strongly advised that you play your first run completely blind, and in whatever style you truly want to play. Then go back with the scroll wheel function in later runs to easier woo people. (Especially because Iris does a very competent job of signposting who you’re doing well with for the first few chapters anyway!)ノート: Your scroll wheel now works for older saves that didn’t have the feature activated – meaning you can go back to choices where you wish you’d saved earlier, and you can scroll back to some degree.さらに: There is no skip button, as it is currently broken and the devs are aware of that. しかし “Auto” と “Fast Text Speed” and a small “Auto-Forward Delay” acts similarly to a skip button.
• Your rival, ハンター, is a secret romanceable option. I personally recommend romancing him first, as he does not have a right or wrong personality type, and therefore you need to go back in the timeline less for him. Save the 6 team members for when you have the scroll wheel and can redo decisions.
• 時々, の “正しい” choice for a character in dialogue may not be their personality type. しかし、覚えておいてください, unless it is an x circle choice, there aren’t any “間違っている” answers that will stop you from being able to romance anybody, so don’t panic too much.

Character Profiles

If you’ve played the first Arcade Spirits, you’ll be familiar with the “Personality Index” of this game – and you’ll be pleased to know it’s exactly the same as the first one.

If you haven’t played it, I’ll help fill you in. Like other dating sim games with stat management, certain choices will be locked behind basic requirements in your personality. And certain characters will respond better to certain personality types.

がある 5 personality types: “Kindly”, “Gusty”, “Steady”, “Quirky” と “Flexible” (also known as basic in the first game). 最初 4 typically gain a positive response from others more often, but Flexible often prevents you from gaining negative if you’re unsure.

Each of the 6 “主要” romance options have two leading traits that they prefer (With one “Leading” that they prefer over the two):

グレース: Steady + Kindly

Domino: Quirky + Kindly

Locksley: Gutsy + Kindly

Jynx: Gutsy + Steady

Zapper: Gutsy + Quirky

Rhapsody: Steady + Quirky

一般的な業績

The following achievements will be unlocked as you simply play the game. They are unmissable:

L1: Ultimate Team-Up – Clear Level 1.

L2: Combo Breaker – Clear Level 2.

L3: Zone Control – Clear Level 3.

L4: Maximum Impact – Clear Level 4.

L5: The New Meta – Clear Level 5.

L6: 続く…? – Clear Level 6.

L7: Fight to Survive – Clear Level 7.

L8: Winner Stays On – Clear Level 8.

次の 3 achievements occur based on how you do in your first 3 matches of FoD2. You will still gain these achievements if you skip the matches. This achievement pops at the charity tournament, despite being completed a lot earlier. It makes no difference to the overall plot if you lose your matches – you will not be penalised and they are not considered fail-states or requirements for any routes.

壊れない – Lose all three major FoD2 matches.

Unwavering – Mix wins and losses in major FoD2 matches.

無敗 – Win all three major FoD2 matches.

次の 4 achievements occur based on how you entered the finale, and what your “トップ” personality is at the time of entering it. For all of them, simply allow that personality trait to be your dominant trait you’ve used for the majority of the story and then click the correct choice when you enter the “finale”. It’s around the time you’re pulled into the polybius in the final match against Victoria and Hunter. You are likely to get these by default as you romance the characters.

Quirky Smirk – Enter the finale while Quirky.

Kindly Heart – Enter the finale while Kindly.

Steady Mind – Enter the finale while Steady.

Gutsy Instinct – Enter the finale while Gutsy.

次の 2 は 見逃せない achievements or achievements that are not related to an specific route:

Perfect Paramour – Complete all romances.

The Friends We Made Along the Way – Romance nobody.

Iris Encouragement

Throughout the story, Iris will ask you to make some questionable choices, at her suggestion. How you answer them will unlock either one of two achievements – this happens separately to the romance routes and will not interfere with them -unconfirmed if it affects Grace’s route right now, so become chaotic at your own peril with her-, so feel free to make your own choices here.

Chaos Choice 1: 脅迫?

• I’ll consider it a possibility, または No federal crimes.

Chaos Choice 2: Domino expo conversation

Outside of the expo in level 4, you can talk to Domino in the map in the second half. He talks about the dangers of robots.

• Kindly: Reassure him you’re raising her lawfully, または joke about them taking over.

Chaos Choice 3: Hack your friends?

• Hack your friends games, または Don’t touch them.

Chaos Choice 4: Cheat?

• Tinker with the firmware または 触らないでください.

免責事項: Some choices may currently be missing.

When the game is over, Iris will comment on her new personality based on your influence, granting you one of these two achievements, depending on how evil you caused her to act.

The Zeroth Law – Encourage Iris to be Orderly.

Our Robot Overlords – Encourage Iris to be Chaotic.

ハンター (Rival Route)

This game is fairly simple, so for the most part, I won’t be making full-on step by step walkthroughs for each character. しかし, users have reported difficulty with Hunter, so his will be the most advanced.

The general idea for Hunter is to spend time with him at every chance. When you see his icon (デフォルトでは, a wreath) on the map during your free periods throughout the game, you need to visit him.

You can romance him as a hostile or a friendly rival. Your personality type does not matter either, as long as you’re not overly aggressive towards him, especially in the later chapters where he is actively trying to be civil back to you.

On top of visiting him when you can, Iris will often ask you if there is anybody you’re interested in so far. Every single time, tell her that there is someone who makes you feel warm. But when presented with only the option of your six teammates and a cross – click the cross. This is often a “No spoilers, Iris” dialogue variation.

Some other options throughout the game you may want to click are;

• “I should call hunter.”
• “I’ll be cheering you on.”
• “I’m one step ahead of you, Iris.”

For a while, it may not seem like it’s working. 慌てないで! 章内 5, Iris will ask you “Whom do you want to share your heart with?” – Hunter will be an option here, as long as you’ve been visiting him at every opportunity in the mini-map free time. Clicking him should start you on his route. Which has fairly obvious signposting going forward from that point.

Suggestions (Not confirmed things that you might simply want to do in the route): Ask the journalist for help instead of the police, the woman in black, or the rebels. Use your Ult on Hunter in the final battle

Successfully romancing Hunter will grant you the achievement:

Hunt and Seek – Romance the Rival

Final Battle

For anybody struggling with the final battle (ノート: you only need 4 彼らのうちの. Don’t go to Valkyrie and Hunter on the same run if you want a “完璧” 勝利):

• Confront Polybiris: “守備的”
• Confront Valkyrie: “究極の”
• Confront Hunter: “究極の”
• Confront Shadow Self: “防衛”
• Confront Shadow <insert friend>: “防衛”
