The list on TrueAchievements also provides some details of the secret achievements separately from the list, as some of them do give spoilers onSlitterhead’s storyand plot beats, including the final boss. As such, if fans want to go in completely blind aboutSlitterhead’s release, they should be wary and stay away from the names and conditions of these achievements.
Completion might be difficult, due to the “Apex Hyoki Legend” achievement, which asks players to beatSlitterheadon the Nightmare, which is harder than the Hard difficulty. There are also smaller Gamescores awarded for accomplishing certain tasks, such as defeating a certain number ofSlitterhead’s enemies in combat, causing civilian casualties, or activating Blood Time. Players can earn 1000 Gamerscore in total if they get everything. The story-related achievements seem to hint at branching decisions for certain bosses.
Other achievements inSlitterheadinclude collecting all the Rarity masks, costumes, and gathering all of Hyoki’s own memory fragments. There is also a particularly gory achievement called “You Dropped Something,” which requires the player to cut offa Slitterhead’s human partsfor the first time. TheSilent Hill 2remake was recently released to positive critical reception, after a bit of trepidation. WithSilent Hill 2andSlitterheadhaving pretty close release windows, it should make for an interesting comparison between the two games, especially since the original creator ofSilent Hillwas behind the latter.
