The Most Fiendish Achievements and Trophies: Finish Him! | Video ...

? May 20, 2012Posted in: Editorials

Unit 13 Boxart

Unit 13 is a strategic shooter for the PS Vita, from the makers of SOCOM. It was the first game on the console that I really took a liking to, indeed I was sufficiently enamoured to try and go for that infernal platinum trophy. Late as I was to the PS3 party, I?ve never earned one as yet.
It?s going to be a painful ride.

The game has quite a good selection of trophies to try and achieve, there are tedious story-based ones alongside others that demand a little more dedication and imagination. The game sees you take control of the eponymous squad, six characters in all. Each gains experience and levels individually, and each yields a trophy when they reach their maximum training potential. This in itself was long and irritating enough, but I prevailed.

Unit 13 comprises some 36 missions, some in the run-and-gun style, others demanding a more insidious approach. You?re awarded stars for outstanding performances in each, which allow you to unlock bonus content. These are the High Value Target challenges, levels that provide a far greater challenge than those that came before. Which each target eliminated (after fighting your way through swarms of snipers, rocket guys and those darn shotgunners that delight in appearing an inch in front of you and blowing your face off), you get another trophy. The final of these bonus missions is the major stumbling block, the devious Finish Him!

This is awarded for defeating Scorpion, the last of the High Value Targets. While I?m begrudgingly amused by the Mortal Kombat reference, I?m still deeply frustrated by this. You access this mission with a five star ranking across the board, which is a tall order indeed. (You?ve no idea how lanky this order is.) I didn?t have much trouble with the levels themselves, but the performance necessary to ace them, particularly the final stage, is reasonably hellish. You?re able to obtain the extra missions early via the Near function if a PSN friend who has completed them already ?shares? them, but this isn?t an option.
Another slog then, alongside my failed Plants Vs Zombies survival attempts.
