UFO 50 Guide

UFO 50

UFO 50 is a game you can buy on steam. Here I'm writing down some strategies I've picked up without really consulting outside resources.

  • 14. Bushido Ball:
    • In options, set points to 4. This will just make games go faster and you'll still be able to earn rewards.
    • Pick Yamada. You'll primarily use his up/down + a move which replaces his roll. It has crazy curve and covers a lot of the screen. 
    • If the opponent hits a ball slowly toward you throw a bomb at it instead of hitting it with your sword.
    • Maybe there's better chars, but he seems pretty good to me.
  • 34. Overbold:
    • This was the first game I was able to cherry clear
    • The easy strategy is to Rush the “Enemies are lured to bombs”, and bomb count up, and health. I'm kind of assuming you're going for cherry clear, but this strategy can be adapted for normal clear, just reduce the enemy counts throughout and get upgrades slower overall. Still rush the lure bombs though.
      • Round 1: Just beat it
      • For round 2: 
        • buy the extra bombs for 100
        • fight 400 worth of enemies. This is the hardest round, but it's pretty early so it's not so bad. If you're just going for a normal clear, you can do less enemies here.
      • For round 3:
        • Buy Lure Bombs.
        • Fight ~400 worth of enemies again.
        • Plant a bomb and run away whenever a plant guy spawns or you feel like you're in trouble. The blue pelicans won't even shoot while they're following a bomb.
      • Onward:
        • Do at least 600 worth of enemies each time.
        • Buy explosion/projectile resistances, bomb counts, health and health packs.
        • Don't bother with the shrapnel bombs or remote control bombs. The other bomb upgrades aren't worth it.
        • Upgrade your gun however you want
      • Rounds 6-7
        • You can probably nearly max out the number of enemies without much worries.
      • If going for cherry clear
        • The last round before the boss, just max out the enemies it's not so bad. You need to fight the boss with XXXX money in your inventory, so don't spend it all before you fight the boss.
      • Boss
        • Really not so bad. You'll probably run out of bombs as you clear the lower level enemies but that's fine. Dodging the boss minions is pretty easy.
