How to unlock the Family Man achievement in Midway Arcade Origins - Definitive Guide
There are 2 family members in level one, 3 in level two, and typically 5 in level 3. Beyond that, there are at least 3 to a level, but they get a lot harder. You should shoot for getting the achievement in the first three levels if possible.
Some tips:
-The static objects are destructable.
-Your shots will not harm family members, so fire away.
Level 1:
Kill all of the red Grunts but one. This should give you breathing room if you need it to run around and collect the family members.
Level 2:
This marks the first appearances of the green Hulks, which are indestructible and aim to kill the family members; and the Spheroids, which spawn Enforcers.
If a Hulk is near and headed towards a family member, they're likely going to be killed. Your shots can push the Hulk backwards, but with so much going on, it's hard to concentrate fire on one enemy. Many times, Hulks kill family members at the very start of a level, before there's anything you can do about it.
Spheroids should be killed ASAP.
Level 3:
Pretty much the same as level 2, only with more static objects onscreen.
This is an incredibly fun game, and I encourage you to play beyond the achievement.
Robotron is a twin-stick shooter. All you have to do is grab 7 family members without losing a life. It is pretty easy, but it may take a few tries because of the seizure-inducing visuals.
On the first stage there are 2 family members. Grab them while defeating evil alien/robot thingies and once all are defeated, you move on to the second stage. Here there are 3 family members. Do the same as the first stage while avoiding getting hit, and you now have 5 of the required 7. In the third stage, there are a total of 5 family members. Just grab 2 more and the trophy is yours!
This achievement requires you to get to wave 3 at minimum. it's actually a very simple game, save the humans first and prioritize killing bad guys second, once you save your 7th during the 3rd wave you can finish the wave if need be, but it unlocked for me before the wave ended.
