Introduction:

Welcome to the RogueCube Trophy Guide!
A challenging twin-stick shooter developed by Bipolar Dawn and published by Ratalaika Games!

Roadmap:

Step 1: Tutorial and Daily Mode
From the main menu after doing the tutorial, select the Daily Mode and try to get confidence with the game. Your main focus during this step should be:
– Kill your first bunch of enemies and don’t collect any chests during your first level; 
– Before taking the gate to the next area, make sure to run out of ammo to unlock Sam Character;
– Die and restart 10 times to unlock the Ninja Character;
– If you manage to find a melee weapon in a chest while dying and restarting 10 times, pick it up, and defect a bullet.

You’ll be earning these trophies:
First Blood
Cheese Royale
Where’s the Pizza?
Home Run!
Everyday
I Don’t Need Them

Step 2: Campaign Mode
This step can heavily change the completion time of the platinum as you need to reach Level 6-1 without dying once in the Campaign Mode. In fact, if you die, you will need to restart the whole game from scratch. Take it easy, don’t rush the levels and don’t get frustrated as well.
Each zone, except for the boss fight ones, is composed of 3 areas.
Check the Tips and Strategies section for useful info on how to tackle this step in the easiest way possible. 

At the end of this step you’ll earn these trophies:
Quack
Beach Boy
Cube Lover
Cubic Passion
Rufus
The Plant
Hypercube

Tips and Strategies:

As the guide mentions, the Campaign Mode can be a “wall” to the platinum trophy as if you are not good with the twin-stick shooters, this game can give you a good challenge. Like all rogue type games, you only have one single life and you need to make your way through 14 levels without dying to be able to get the platinum. Also, remember that all the levels are randomized.  
However, there are some useful tips you can use to change the sorts of the game:

• In the Setting/game option of the main menu make sure to completely deactivate the earthquake effect. it’s really annoying and completely useless. If you want, set the auto-aim to 100% even tho there are no real benefits in doing that;
• There isn’t a recommended cube/character you can choose even tho it’s better to take the blue cube at the beginning;
• There are a lot of weapons and you can randomly find them in chests. Try them all and find the ones that suit you the most;
• NEVER pick up weapons with bouncing bullets as they can hit you back! Also, try to avoid explosive weapons too;
• make sure to have 2 weapons that don’t share the same type of bullets to avoid finishing your ammunitions faster. There are 4 types of ammunition in the game (you can recognize them from the color of the bar under your health on the top left of the screen:
  • Yellow – BULLETS
  • Green – Plasma
  • Blue – Arrows or Shuriken
  • Red – Explosives
• Melee weapons are a good option if you spam your fire button and deflect enemies’ bullets, but they have a short-range so it’s easy to die;
• Don’t rush any level and be very careful as it’s easy to die and you don’t want it;
•  Enemies will chase and shoot at you if you get too close, so try to tackle them from the distance;
• Don’t get frustrated if you die often as it’s normal. Feel free to take breaks and pause the game at your leisure. Keep practicing and don’t give up;
•  You need to kill every enemy to finish a level. Make sure to wander around in search of chests BEFORE getting to the gate for the next area. Don’t even get close to it;
• Spare your bullets and don’t shoot like there’s no tomorrow as ammunitions are lesser and rarer than you think;
• Get ready for the 2 boss fights! Don’t go any further without being fully healed and with a decent amount of ammunition. Bosses are located in 3-1 and 6-1;
• The first boss is Rufus and can easily be killed with a Crossbow. Keep looking at him as if he does an angry face, he’s going to charge towards you. Also, watch your steps as the area sides are scattered with spike traps that trigger as you step on them. Sometimes mummies with pikes spawn: kill them rapidly as they deal huge damage;
• The second boss is The Plant and it has a lot of health but it’s easier. Make sure to bring a lot of ammunition and to only shoot to the plant itself as it’s the only part that can be damaged. Sometimes there are some flowers on the three spinning branches and if you shoot at them you will receive a random drop between health or ammo. Watch out to the seeds it throws as well because they explode and contain poison.
