Introduction:
Welcome to Battleship! This game is based on the movie of the same name. Battleship is your average First Person Shooter with everything you would expect from such a game, except there is also a strategic element in the game that adds to the fun. You can control your battleships at any time during the levels and have them battle Alien ships or have them in support of your efforts on land providing artillery fire.
The achievements in this game are straight forward and easy enough to obtain for the averagely-abled gamer. There are difficulty related achievements for completing the game on the various difficulties, but they are stackable and you can go ahead and begin the game on the hardest difficulty, as it isn't all that hard. You can obtain all of the achievements in a single playthrough too.
Step 1: Campaign - Admiral Difficulty
Your first and possibly only step is to begin the campaign. You can begin on the hardest difficulty, 'Admiral difficulty' as it isn't as hard as it sounds. Refer to the guide below for some tips on playing the hardest difficulty to make it as painless as possible. Be award of the various miscellaneous achievements as you progress through the campaign and be sure to follow a walkthrough video to obtain all of the collectible 'Pegs' as you go through each mission.
If you choose to first run through the game on a lower difficulty to concentrate on the miscellaneous achievements then that is also fine to do. There are only 7 short missions and you can easily complete the game in a single sitting, so splitting your game into 2 runs wouldn't take too long to do.
Step 2: Clean up
If you have completed your campaign run through/s and still have some miscellaneous achievements left over, don't panic. You can use the level select feature to choose any level that may still contain collectibles, which are helpfully counted and the number of how many you have collected are displayed next to each level on the level select screen.
Conclusion:
So over all this is an easy and short completion and a fun FPS, especially with the aforementioned ability to strategically command your battleships whenever you want and wherever you are during the missions. This feature alone makes this game more fun than the average movie-based FPS.
