Introduction:
Welcome to Bulletwitch, the game has a total of 14 achievements that are mostly earned for completing all stages and difficulties apart from two achievements that require game play time and maxing out your stats. All of the achievements fairly simple, but just because they are simple does not mean they are easy. Chaos and Hell mode can be quite challenging, they’re not necessarily difficult, but expect to get frustrated dying in the same spot a few times in a row. Wreckon Dracgon’s guide is very helpful and I’d suggest reading through it to have an idea what to expect before you set out to play the game.
One piece of advice I would give you is to know when to fight and when to run away, there are parts of the game which can take awhile to shoot through yet you can avoid combat by simply running around the edges and using the ravens panic spell, this is best done on stage 5 as the first part of the level is like a huge open battlefield.
Note that none of the achievements can be unlocked by playing in stage select it must be the main game.
Abbreviated Walkthrough:
Since none of the achievements for completing the game in a certain difficulty stack, it would make sense to just start out on easy, you will get a feel for the game and learn the layouts of each stage and unlock eight achievements along the way.
Now, before you move on to normal mode, following the method in Wreckon Dracgon’s guide below for the "Full Power-Up Completed" achievement. Keep playing the first stage to build up your guns, abilities and magic. Just finish the first level on normal, wait until the game saves and the next level starts, quit the game to the main menu, and select to start a new game and repeat the process. I used this method to max out my guns and spells. I played four stages on normal and the rest on hard it didn’t take me many plays to do.
Now, proceed to playthrough the game on normal. You should now find that by maxing out your guns enemies will go down a lot easier and since you now have all the spells, get used to how they work and when to use them. Along with the achievement for completing the game on normal you should unlock the "Full Power-Up Completed" achievement on this playthrough, if not you will on the next run.
Now you should know the game relatively well and your stats should be at max or nearly there, it’s now time to play through the game on Hard, Chaos and then finally Hell mode, you will unlock the three achievements for doing so.
During your final playthrough on Hell mode you should unlock the "Total Play Time Of 15 Hours" achievement, if not then again using Wreckon Dracgon’s guide, use the rubber band around the controller trick on the first stage.
Conclusion:
So now you have 1000 on Bulletwitch and can add it to your 100% list, and if you haven’t already done so check out the game marketplace on Xbox live for a ton of DLC including some rather flattering costume changes for Alicia!
