Introduction:
Naughty Bear consists of you playing through various challenges, tormenting bears and earning naughty cups. Every action you decide will earn you points towards each cup. Naughty Bear may only be a small game, but there is a lot involved challenge wise. Think of this as more of large challenge based game, rather than a full adventure game. There is only one main level but there are seven Episodes which are then broken up into 5 Sub-Episodes each.
The game may get fairly repetitive, but your actions towards the other bears is always humorous and entertaining.
Breakdown:
Episodes
In total there are seven Episodes, they are fairly basic and your main goal will always be the same. Earn the various Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Naughty Cups. This sounds fairly easy, but you will need to find the best combination of scares and attacks to earn the most points out of each Episode. You will need to earn at elate one cup requirements to unlock each basic Episode.
Misc Objectives/Challenges
A large chunk of the achievements are spread out through random Episode challenges. If you don't know what they are, you will most likely miss them and need to replay the same level again to earn the achievements. Most are simple enough, but they involve killing a certain bear, in a certain way with either object or ultra kills.
There are quite a few of these achievements to see "Party Thrasher!", "Drowning Politics!", "Watch THIS Cozy!", "Keeping a cool head!", "Trembles' Energy Problem!", "Gear Head!", "Hot as the Sun!", "Maximum Security", "Harakiri", "Give me Peace!", "Death Race", "Elite Chumps", "Rebellion", "Disintegration".
The next part of the challenges will involve you earning the various costumes and killing certain bears in a certain way. Most are straightforward but you need to earn each costume first which may require some effort on your part. Several of these costumes can be quite tricky to unlock, please see the following achievements for an explanations: "Twin Fight", "Chain of Command", "Evil Resident in Bearcity", "Probing New Technologies", "Chi Vs Voodoo", "Assassin's Assassination", "Noisy Vs Silent", "Vengeance!"
Once you have completed the overall challenges you will then have the "Challenge Challenge" objectives to complete. These challenges are basically further objectives through the previous Sub-Episodes which require you to do a certain thing in a certain challenge type. These challenges will probably test your patience more than the other challenges, see: "Truly Invisible!", "Fistful of Rage!", "Killin' with Style", "Merciful", "Trap-tacular!"and "Tight One!". With a little practice you should be able to complete most challenges with ease and sail through to the next group of challenges that wait you.
Sub-Episodes
You will spend most of your time earning Naughty Cups through the various Sub-Episodes. Some are easier than others but the same principle applies. If you want to make the most of your points sabotage everything, scare the bears until they go insane and perform ultra kills when needed. Some episodes will be harder to earn Gold or Platinum cups as the requirements are so high.
Naughty Cups
Earning the cups can be quite time consuming, difficult and frustrating. Once you have the perfect scare tactics down, and find the best way to kill each bear to earn the most points you will eventually earn all the cups requires to progress, and to unlock the "Nutter!" achievement. The best tactic seems to be scaring the bears, trapping them, scaring them until they go insane and killing them. You can also Sabotage, Scare, Sabotage, Trap and then drive them to insanity so they will themselves. Any of these combination's seem to work well for earning a high score. Though this may seem easy, it will require a lot of patience and concentration to make sure you don't make any mistakes and kill a bear before earning all the points you can out of them.
Multiplayer
This game's multiplayer is rather basic, though you may want to find using the Achievement Trading Thread as connecting to other matches seems near impossible. By completing "Gloriosity!" you will win the match without loosing any any Unibear Statue's, this will also result in winning the match and unlock "Leader of the Pack".
Episode 9 The Treasure of Bear Beard
Epsiode 9 brings us pretty much more of the same that the base game brought, with a new costume in Pirate Naughty, a new level and four new challenges. You want to start off by playing through the episode just trying to get to the end. If you can grab gold medals and miscellaneous achievements along the way, thats great. However, be prepared to return to the game to finish them off. Whilst costumes you earnt in the base game may be better, by using the Pirate Naughty costume you can bag four of the miscellaneous achievements on your first run.
After finishing up the main story level, you then have four challenges to undertake. The aim here is to go for gold cups. It's possible, although doubtful that you will get the miscellaneous achievements just by playing through the levels. It's far more likely you will have to specifically aim for each achievement.
Episode 10 The Vampiricorn
Epsiode 10 brings us pretty much more of the same that the base game and the 'Episode 9' DLC brought us, with a new costume in the Vampircorn, a new level and four new challenges.
Step 1) You want to start off by playing through the episode just trying to get to the end. If you can grab gold medals and miscellaneous achievements along the way, that's great. However, be prepared to return to the levels to finish them off.
After finishing up the main story level, you then have four challenges to undertake. The aim here is to go for gold cups. It's possible, although doubtful that you will get the miscellaneous achievements just by playing through the levels. It's far more likely you will have to specifically aim for each achievement.
Step 2 ) Episode 10 introduces four new multiplayer modes, with one achievement related to each. Due to nobody playing this game online, it is very likely you and three other people will need to boost. For all four achievements for four players should take about two hours.
Conclusion:
Thought Naughty Bear can be very repetitive, it's still very satisfying to run around and find new ways to vanquish your fellow bears. Once you work out the best combination to scare, torture and torment the bears for points, you should be well on your way to completing this game.
