Introduction:
Welcome to 50 Years, a battle simulation game where you need to survive year after year, fighting against attackers, until you make it through 50 years. As with almost every Xitilon game, this game is very simple and barely requires any input from the player. Battles are simulated, where you just watch your fighters fight with the enemies and hope to win. It's actually a decently fun little game, and a full playthrough will only take around 15-20 minutes to reach year 50. The full gamerscore including all title updates is possible to achieve in around an hour, so let's get started on it.
Title Updates and Approach for the Completion:
The title updates for this game require you to progress each of the five branches of perks through five slots. The base game only required a single slot in each of the five perks, meaning it was possible to accomplish all five (and therefore all five related achievements) in a single playthrough. With the addition of these title updates and you now needing to progress each perk much further, this changes the approach. Rather than splitting our upgrades over all five perks in a single playthrough, we will first do a playthrough where we actually beat the game (to unlock Victory (100G) and all other story achievements), and during this playthrough we will focus on any single perk, leveling it up five times to unlock an achievement for each tier (across all title updates). This playthrough will be a bit different since our main focus is preparing appropriately so that we can actually beat the game.
After that full playthrough, we will change our approach and instead do four very short additional partial playthroughs. In each short partial playthrough, we will level a single perk up five times to get five achievements across the base game and four title updates, then quit to the main menu, start a new game, and repeat for each perk. While you may be tempted to play through the game to do two perks in a single playthrough (and this is possible), I find it much quicker and easier to break them up into four shorter partial playthroughs.
Abbreviated Walkthrough:
Our first step will be beating the game to unlock all story achievements and conclude with Victory (100G). During this playthrough, pick any of the five perks and level the same one up each time you have the opportunity; don't split your upgrades across all of the perks. During this playthrough we will also pick up the miscellaneous missable achievement What's in a dungeon? (100G), which is near the start of a playthrough. Refer to Victory (100G) for a detailed walkthrough of how to complete the game and grab the one miscellaneous achievement along the way.
With that done, we change our approach. Now we are going to do four very short additional partial playthroughs of the game where will we just focus on leveling up a single perk five times to unlock five achievements. When done, we will quit to the main menu, start a new game, and repeat for the third, fourth, and then fifth perks, unlocking mulitple achievements each time. Refer to Legends of the Forest 5 (200G) for a detailed walkthrough of these playthroughs to make them as quick and easy as possible.
With a story completion, the single miscellaneous achievement, and then leveling up all five perks to the fifth level, you'll have wrapped up this completion.
Conclusion:
50 Years is actually a decently enjoyable little game while it lasts. It's very easy to quickly become strong enough to cruise through battles, meaning this game provides tons of gamerscore with virtually no stress. As with almost every Xitilon game, hopefully you enjoyed your short time with this game and the huge amount of gamerscore it provided. Congrats on another completion.
