Retrowave - 100% walkthrough (EN)

By rouz

The purpose of this guide is to help you get all 44 game achievements.

I put the achievements in a specific order for a reason. While none of them are missable, it is easier to get an achievement by completing the other ones beforehand.

Time: 15-20 hours (depending on skill and playstyle)

I hope this guide is helpful!

Category 1 - Instant Achievements (easy)

For the following achievements, all you need to do is to either click the right things or simply launch some game modes

One-way

Play one-way mode
Simply finish a game of "one-way"

First Run

Play your first game
If you completed any of the previous achievements, this one will have been unlocked already.

Easy

Play easy mode
Select any mode, then set the difficulty to "easy", then finish a race

Normal

Play normal mode
When playing any gamemode, select "Normal" difficulty

Hard

Play hard mode
Simply launch any mode, select "hard" difficulty, and finish a race

Peaceful

Play peaceful mode
This one is a bit different. Since there are no cars, there is no way to fail. So when doing this, make sure to select "Time Attack"

Time Attack

Play time attack mode
Simply launch the mode and finish a race

Speed Bomb

Play speed bomb mode
Just launch the gamemode and complete a race

Category 2: "Expert" Achievements (medium)

These 4 achievements require you to get 50,000 points on "Hard" in each mode. 3 are pretty easy, but "Time Attack" one is more difficult with a special strategy

One-way expert

Reach 50,000 score in Hard
This one is done in the "one-way" mode

Two-way Expert

Reach 50,000 score in Hard
This one is done in "two-way" mode

Speed Bomb Expert

Reach 50,000 score in Hard
This one can be done in the "speed bomb" mode

Time Attack Expert

Reach 50,000 score in Hard
The strategy here is as follows. Select the second car (for max speed), then select "Grid" map, then reach 50,000 by passing close to the vehicles. If confused, below is a video of me doing it:

Category 3: "Collecting" achievements (hard)

For the following achievements, you are required to collect X (either money or a certain number of runs)

80s Kid

Reach $1000
You will have unlocked this achievement by completing the previous ones

The Symbol

Buy the 2nd car
The important thing here is that out of the max power cars, this one is the cheapest. For further achievements, I would recommend using this car as it makes earning money much easier.

80s Teen

Reach $10000
Self-explanatory, but remember one IMPORTANT thing. This amount MUST be available (meaning it doesn't matter if you earned that amount, only current money counts)

Confirmed Driver

Play 10 times
Self-explanatory, you will get this achievement if you complete the previous ones

80s Adult

Reach $100000
For the next 4 achievements, do the following. Select "time attack", then a random map, then finish as many time attacks as possible. Why? Because by completing time attacks, you will get both the required number of runs and the required amount of money. Also make sure not to spend too much.

Night Runner

Play 100 times

80s Boss

Reach $1000000

Neon Driver

Play 1000 times

Category 4: "Epilogue" achievements (easy)

I strongly recommend getting the following achievements only after reaching $1,000,000. However, if you want, you can always get them earlier

Stutututu
