Steam achievements revamp
Posted: Tue Jul 07, 2020 8:09 am
I don't know if I'm the only one, but is there a chance for a rework of steam achievements? Currently, almost 2 thousand achievements combined with screenshots that don't look very inviting for new players, give impression of a cheap achievement-farm game. On top of that, I don't think it's possible to get every achievement, you literally have to beat the game dozens of time on each and every difficulty. I looked through steam reviews and there was a guy with almost 1 thousand hours of game-time having only 9% of achievements.
In my opinion, achievements for higher difficulties should only be for milestones like "Kill the Master" or "Reach Far East", and the rest, like "Tales of the Spellblaze", where you have to buy the lore from the store, "The Restless Dead", where you have to beat a random encounter, or the achievements for amassing a lot of gold, should be more `general` and obtainable once in the game, not on every difficulty.
There would still be a lot of achievements, around 200 (probably more as I just divided current number of achievements by 9 and there would be still some achievements with 9 difficulties), which is really enough for a game. It would encourage achievement hunters to play more and try higher difficulties, and you could actually 100% the game. What do you guys think about it?
