Introduction

Townfall's achievement list is built like its endings: a broad base most players unlock by simply playing, a middle band tied to collectibles and puzzles, and a hard ceiling that demands New Game Plus and specific play styles. Our coverage organizes the full Steam and PS5 lists by difficulty tier instead of raw ID order, so you can see at a glance what a natural first run will hand you, what needs deliberate routing, and what only opens on a second campaign. Each entry notes its practical unlock route — story-automatic, exploration-gated, behavior-gated or NG+ exclusive — plus cross-links to the guide that makes it fast. The most useful page for most readers is the playthrough-count planner: it sequences your runs so ending achievements and collectible cleanup happen on the same campaigns rather than demanding separate dedicated loops.

C

Story Automatic

common

Trophies the game hands you for simply reaching its beats

What's HereFirst-combat tutorials, initial CRTV activation, act completions and the baseline ending all fire without any special routing — a player who finishes the campaign normally collects this whole band for free.
Planning CostZero. Do not consult any guide for these; just play. The only optimization available is psychological — knowing a chunk of the list is automatic keeps completion anxiety from shaping your first-run choices.
RiskNone of these can be missed on a first run. If one of them has not popped by the act the guide names, that is worth a bug check rather than a replay plan.
B

Collectible-Linked

rare

Achievements that read your collection log, file by file

RouteThese pop alongside the collectibles checklist — run our per-part sweep order and the achievement fires naturally mid-route rather than requiring a separate dedicated cleanup session.
Missable RiskSome components are gated by the same irreversible splits the collectibles are, so honoring missable flags protects both systems at once: district swept before the door seals means counter and trophy both stay complete.
RecoveryFull recovery in New Game Plus — the collection log carries over conceptually via your checklist, and NG+ districts sweep fast with carry-over strength and stealth-first routing.

Ending Chain

legendary

One trophy per conclusion, plus the completionist capstone

DependencyEnding achievements track each of the five conclusions separately, and because two endings are New Game Plus exclusives, the chain structurally demands multiple campaigns no matter your skill.
Efficient OrderNatural run, opposing-pattern run, then two targeted NG+ runs — sequencing endings this way avoids the classic failure of two similar campaigns landing on the same conclusion and forcing an extra loop.
Cross-LinkRead the endings route planner before your first finale: the soft checkpoints it lists per act let you stay on-pattern without consulting hard spoilers for the actual scenes you are steering toward.

Challenge & Style

new

Play-style clears: stealth-heavy runs, combat restrictions, efficiency goals

ExamplesDistricts crossed without triggering pursuits, encounters resolved without firearm use, and efficient routing benchmarks — these reward mastering the same stealth and economy systems the guides teach.
StackingStyle achievements stack cleanly with collectible sweeps: a stealth-first NG+ cleanup run naturally satisfies most restriction trophies while you walk the checklist route anyway.
SetupCheck the exact wording before committing — several restrictions are per-encounter rather than per-run, which makes them far easier than players assume when reading community forums cold.

Core Mechanics

The achievement system mirrors Townfall's other completion layers because everything reads the same underlying state: your collection log, your ending ledger and your behavioral flags. Story-automatic achievements hook act boundaries; collectible achievements query the log the checklists maintain; ending achievements inspect which finale the ledger resolved; and style achievements watch event flags like 'pursuit triggered' or 'firearm discharged' scoped per encounter or per district. That shared-state design is good news for planners: almost every achievement can be pursued simultaneously with a normal play pattern, because the game was already tracking the relevant behavior for its own purposes. The main sequencing constraint comes from the NG+ gate on two endings, which retroactively makes every completion plan a multi-run schedule. Our tier list exists to make that schedule visible — C-tier arrives free, B-tier rides the collectible route, A-tier rides play-style choices, and S-tier anchors the ending chain across campaigns.

Advantages

Tiering by difficulty instead of listing by ID gives players an actual decision tool: you can see that a first run naturally yields the C and A bands, that B rides on the collectible checklist you were going to run anyway, and that only S requires deliberate multi-campaign scheduling. That clarity converts achievement hunting from a spreadsheet exercise into route-following, especially with cross-links into the endings planner and per-part collectible sweeps so one campaign services multiple trophy families. The play-style band also adds genuine replay value rather than busywork — restriction achievements push you to engage the stealth and economy systems more deeply than a casual run would. And because launch lists can shift with patches, our unlock-route annotations are written to survive small numbering changes: entries describe what the achievement demands, not just where it sits in a sorted table.

Challenges

The launch-week caveat applies with full force here: exact achievement counts and wording should be treated as provisional until double-verified against the shipped list on both Steam and PS5, and platform-specific trophy metadata occasionally differs in naming from the Steam equivalent. Style-achievement wording is the classic ambiguity zone — per-encounter versus per-run scope is often only clear after community testing, and our first-pass annotations mark the uncertain ones explicitly rather than asserting false precision. NG+ gating means casual single-run players will plateau below 100% no matter how thoroughly they play, which is worth stating plainly so nobody grinds a first run expecting the list to close. Finally, patch notes can quietly retune a restriction trophy; check the Last Updated stamp and the News page after any title update before assuming a failed attempt was your error.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many playthroughs for 100%?+
Plan for multiple campaigns: the two New Game Plus-exclusive endings alone require at least a second run, and the efficient route most players settle on is a natural first run, an opposing-pattern second run, then targeted NG+ loops for the remaining endings while collecting style trophies along the way. Exact counts vary with how cleanly you route collectibles early — the endings planner page sequences the runs to minimize overlap.
Can achievements be missed?+
Story-automatic trophies cannot. Collectible-linked ones can be delayed past irreversible district seals, and a few behavior-scoped style trophies can be failed within a single encounter — but everything recovers in New Game Plus with carry-over progress. The practical rule is simple: honor the missable flags on the collectibles checklists and read style-achievement wording before an encounter, and nothing becomes permanently unreachable.
Do difficulty settings affect achievements?+
No. Townfall does not gate achievements behind difficulty performance — ending achievements depend on your behavioral pattern rather than your combat settings, and style achievements check how you acted rather than how hard the game was set. You can play on the most comfortable difficulty and still collect the full list, which makes tuning settings for atmosphere or accessibility a completely safe decision.

Quick Tips

💡

Do not chase style trophies before reading their exact wording. Most restriction achievements are scoped per encounter rather than per entire run, and community shorthand often makes them sound far more brutal than they are — thirty seconds with the list saves you from avoiding firearms for a whole campaign unnecessarily.

💡

Run collectibles and achievement routes as one sweep, not two. The B-tier band queries the same collection log the per-part checklists maintain, so a single visit-ordered pass pops both — running separate dedicated loops is the single biggest time sink this category can lure you into. Both the trophy pop and the checklist tick land from the same single walkthrough pass.

💡

Sequence ending achievements before your last NG+ loop. Finishing the ending chain early lets your final cleanup campaign double as the style-trophy pass, since stealth-first routing on a strong NG+ character naturally satisfies most restriction flags while you walk the remaining checklist. Your final checklist sweep then wraps up any remaining style flags without a dedicated campaign.
