Alien Zombie Megadeath Trophy Guide

[EdEN]

@GbRXsenTriCz: It's still an estimate but yeah, I would also put it at a 9/10 with what "little" I'm missing for the last trophy. Could be 8/10 (not much of a difference really) on the home stretch since all the practice in the 20 hours leading to it really pays off.

Yeah the difficulty is just my personal estimate right now. There's not a poll up yet, but eventually I can change it if enough people vote. It'll be an 8 or 9 like EdEN says.

So EdEN, did you get all the medals yet? I'll finally get back to working on the game today.

Nope. Had to switch games since I've got 5 games up for review. Missing all medals in the last 5 levels. Will get back to them maybe by the 2-3 week of July once my schedule has cleared up a bit. Sucks since I was having a blast with Alien Zombie hahaha.

Oh, btw, all PS+ subscribers (as in, you've got a paid subscription) will get Alien Zombie Death (the original minis version) for free today!

Sweet, I very nearly bought that the other day, good thing I waited!

Did you check about the increasing UFO values when you kill them without being hit?

I'll check today. I was trying to just get enough medals to unlock the last level yesterday. I'm one short but that's because I'm working from the beginning and trying not to move on until I complete a level, and there were a few that took quite a bit to get.

I have another tip for anyone starting out, which I'll add into the guide later. New waves of enemies don't appear until the previous wave is wiped out. This is particularly true for Survival levels... you can kill all enemies but one and let weapon drops cycle through until you get the one you want. Like for the levels with rocks that you can only destroy with a laser... wait until the laser appears, kill the last enemy, then grab the laser and go to town on rocks and new enemies.

Also, the true key for getting the Defuse X Bombs medals is to do them as fast as possible. Only kill enemies where you need to. If you kill enemies too fast, harder waves will appear and you'll have trouble defusing the bombs.

Yep, Defusing bombs is easier if you make the bombs your focus and kill the enemies that are on your way. You eventually get the points medal as well along the way since bombs go up in value quickly... but this stops working on the Red levels for bombs since you've got to juggle powerups, enemies, bombs, enemy fire, blocks or forcefields making you HAVE to go slower, etc.

I figured you'd have unlocked all levels by now but I understand how you can be stuck on a level for 10-40 minutes trying to get the rhythm just right to get all medals.

[Vyrastas]

Okay I've unlocked all the levels, am at 200 medals now.

I have confirmed the points per UFO reset if you get hit in the middle of a streak. I also realized that points per bomb defused increase in a similar fashion to UFOs, and those also reset if you get hit. I'll add that to the guide as well.

Edit: I'm going to check, but I'd hazard a guess that it does something similar for Space Babies.

[EdEN]

Yep, I can confirm the reset for babies as well. Had to redo a red level 10 times to get all them damn babies in AND get to the score as well since it's one of those levels where one is definitely tied to the other.

I realized this about UFOs/Bombs on the regular levels since I couldn't reach the points medals until I hit 6 UFOs with a nice enough multiplayer and without being hit.

[Vyrastas]

Okay cool, I added a note for Space Babies as well. The guide is virtually complete so I'm going to submit it as is.

Still working on all medals here and there... I have to take breaks every once in a while or I get frustrated.
