Aegis Wing
12 Achievements, you could probably do them all with enough controllers but maybe you should just find people online to co-op with.
- Rookie (5)
- Veteran (10)
- Ace (20)
Get 30,000, 100,000 and 185,000 points.
The last one's a bitch in co-op, but if you don't mind the tedium you can just milk powerups and mines at the 4th boss in single player
- Exterminator (15)
Kill everything in a level. This includes the 0 point enemies that appear in levels with a boss, but not the red mines that only the laser can destroy
- Untouchable (15)
Finish a level without getting hit once
- Immortal (15)
For whatever reason, this doesn't work in single player. Finish a level without you or any other players losing a life. Enjoy the poor design decisions that led to this game having a lifebar as your cohorts fail at dodging
- Diplomat (15)
Finish a level without firing your regular shot. In single player, this can only be done in Level 2, as bosses never time out. It can also be done by attaching to another ship and using only special weapons for a whole level

Get 4 people together and have everyone attach their ships
- Teamwork (15)

- Legend (50)
Finish the last level on Insane. You get one life, and if all players die then you start back at the beginning of one of the longest, boringest levels of one of the slowest, boringest shooters ever

- Don't Let Me Go (15)
Hold onto an enemy for 10 seconds or longer with the anchor using Ruby. Just anchor the head of the robo-yeti when he appears near the beginning the first stage. The midbosses of Stage 3 are also good for this
- Untouchable (15)
Repel 20 or more enemy bullets using Tempest. This has to be done in one shot. Try sitting between a couple of the yellow-domed robots in Stage 1. Let all of their bullets enter Tempest's energy field and turn green, then stop firing to repel the bullets

Go 30 seconds without swinging Sensei's sword. Pacifism achievement-- just lay off the right stick and dodge for 30 seconds

Complete the game with the Lightning, Mosquito, and Shinden, respectively. Try Penguin difficulty if you're having trouble reaching the end

Destroy 30 enemies using a Joint Strike. Not cumulative, so let a bunch of popcorn enter the screen and then use a fully charged Clash Blast to wipe them all out. Remember: you can only Joint Strike in co-op mode
- Sharpshooter (10)
Get a 90% or better accuracy rating. This is a shootdown percentage, so just destroy as many enemies as possible in a stage
- Blitz (10)
Complete the game on the Wing King difficulty setting. Sounds hard until you realize that the only difference between difficulty levels is the number of starting lives
- Fangs Out (10)
- Padlocked (25)
Defeat all of the bosses with an A rating or higher (S rating for Padlocked) in one play-through. Ranking is based on the amount of time taken to destroy the boss. The first boss is easily the hardest to S-Rank. Make sure your weapon is powered up and try to have a full stock of missiles going into the fight
If you're having trouble, check out this boss strategy video
- Tiger (30)
Collect 30 medals. Practically guaranteed within the first few stages
- Shooter (30)
- Combat Ace (40)
Complete the game with over 200,000 and 2,000,000 points, respectively. I'm pretty sure it's not possible to finish the game and have less than 200k points. If you're going for the all A-Rank or S-Rank achievements, you'll easily have over 2m by the end of the game
