Platinum #196: Tachyon Project (Vita Version)

Hey there!

First things first: Currently there are 6 different trophy lists for Tachyon Project. Only the 2 limited physical releases (one for PS4 and one for Vita) have trophy lists which includes Platinum Trophies. The other 4 lists are only 100% games.

The limited physical Vita version of “Tachyon Project” is exclusively available at play-asia.com. As of today, they still have a few copies left. If they don’t have it anymore, or you don’t want to import the game, you can try your luck on eBay.

I was lucky and got my copy for roughly 25€ via play-asia.com. This collectors box, which is limited to 2000 pieces worldwide, includes the game, the soundtrack, a nice manual and a numbered certificate. This is really a good deal, if you consider the low price. Check out the video by my friend IBadDriverI below, if you want to see more.

“Tachyon Project” is a nice and easy Shoot ‘Em Up. Even a shmup noob like me can complete this game within a few hours. There are 10 different levels, consisting of several waves, to beat. After every level, you’ll advance with the story and you’ll encounter new enemies, including 4 bosses. The graphics are good and the soundtrack fits perfectly to the game. Unfortunately, the section you see on the Vita is much smaller compared to the PS4 version. This increases the difficulty only slightly but it has a tremendous impact on the fun factor, at least for me. Personally, I do prefer the PS4 version over the Vita version.

Most of the trophies are story related or will unlock naturally while progressing through the game. There are only a few trophies which are related to specific weapons, which means that there’s nearly no grinding / clean-up necessary after beating level 10.

All in all, I must say that I was really surprised by this game and that the 25€ were well spend. Not only I got an easy “limited” Platinum Trophy, I also got a very nice collectors box of a game. I think this is a perfect game for trophy hunters as well as collectors.

Yours,
