Use achievements as a progression checklist
Several achievements are direct system unlock markers. If you are unsure what to do next:
- Open the Steam achievement list and find the latest system milestone you completed.
- If A New Path, Artisan, Prospector, Shaper, Grandmaster, or Stargazer just unlocked, return to the game and open that new system.
- Read the available choices before repeating the same wave.
- Use Systems to connect the milestone to the correct guide.
Why some launch posts mention 25
An official pre-release announcement mentioned 25 Steam achievements. The live Steam achievement page and current store metadata expose 12. This page follows the live set above, while the earlier number remains part of the launch timeline rather than the active checklist.
Completion routes
- For A New Path, continue until the Jobs system unlocks, then open Jobs.
- For Artisan, use the newly opened crafting screen and continue with Crafting.
- For Prospector through Stargazer, check Systems to see which progression layer the milestone opens.
- Strongest Archer in Zad names the King as its target; prepare by checking Upgrades and equipment before the fight.
If an achievement does not unlock
First confirm that the in-game action matches the wording on Steam. A system milestone usually requires the system to unlock, not merely reaching a nearby wave or collecting resources associated with it. For equipment and chest milestones, verify that the item or chest action completed before leaving the screen.
Then use a low-risk check:
- Keep the game and Steam client online long enough for the achievement state to synchronize.
- Open the Steam achievement page for app 4412000 and refresh it.
- Avoid repeating an expensive crafting or upgrade action until you know whether the first action registered.
- If the game showed the milestone but Steam did not, preserve the save and check the official Community hub for a known launch issue.
The public descriptions do not establish hidden counters or alternate conditions, so this guide does not invent them.
Achievement FAQ
Is the list ordered by required completion sequence?
No confirmed universal order is published. The system achievements form a useful progression trail, while chest, legendary gear, King, and level milestones may depend on what happens in a particular run. Read the list as a set of verified goals, not a speedrun route.
Is Level 40 currently the level milestone?
Yes. The live description for Perfectionist says “Reach Level 40.” That confirms the achievement requirement, but it does not by itself prove that Level 40 is the maximum possible level in every current or future build.
Are there 12 or 25 achievements?
The active Steam stats page currently exposes 12. The number 25 came from an earlier official announcement. Until additional entries become visible on the live stats page, the 12-item set is the checklist players can verify directly.
