Bosses won't get unlocked in Critical Depth
06/07/14 at 05:07:02
 
Hello everyone !
I haven't played Critical Depth in like a year, but i remember it was a fantastic (yet tough) game. Yet there was one thing that frustrated me to no end. It seemed like i could only unlock 3 of the 4 bosses per profile. Because of that, i never managed to unlock The Overseer, even though i finished the game on Hard with all characters (and saved each time i finished a campaign). Sometimes i couldn't unlock Mr. Phatt either, though i did manage to get him by creating a new profile.
For some reason, Abaddon and Agent 326 were never affected by this issue.
Has this ever happened to any of you ? I looked up on the Internet and this glitch is mentioned nowhere.  Sad
Bye !

ADDENDUM :
I live in a PAL zone, and the only version i've played is the PSN version. Maybe it matters.

Sometimes PAL versions are slightly different than the NTSB. This goes for most games back then. Also most of the FAQ's guides you'll read are almost always in NTSB.

If Google can't find it for you, it doesn't exist.  Roll Eyes

Well, i think i'm gonna have to use two profiles : one for Mr. Phatt, and one for The Overseer. I don't think i can do otherwise.
I think i didn't find anything because the game really flopped here in Europe, and nobody gave it a shot ; thus no European gamer wrote their own walkthrough for it (and mentioned the glitch).
Perhaps if i try to get an NTSC version for an emulator, it will work.
Thanks for the reply anyway.  Smiley

Huh

I have the game but I am horrid at it. I would playtest for you but it would take me a long time to get decent enough.

I have Overseer. His max speed is the turbo speed, so he doesn't need turbos. Did you also beat and saved the game with the three secret characters?

I think i have beat the game with them as well, but i can't exactly recall. From what i've read on the Internet, you only need to beat the game on Hard with the 12 normal characters (which i did, two or three times). There are 12 save slots per profile in this game, so in order to beat the game with the 15 characters other than The Overseer, it is necessary to overwrite some saves... and i don't think that will help at all.
I will get back into Critical Depth this summer, and hopefully i will find out how to unlock him.

A little update here. Yesterday, i decided to play Critical Depth again. So i picked up an old profile (where Mr. Phatt and Agent 326 were already unlocked), finished a campaign with Agent 326... and guess what. THE OVERSEER GOT UNLOCKED ! Yay !
I tested him. Though he's a bit too big, his special attack's power is grand. He really kicks ass !
I think the bosses are unlocked at complete random in this game. At least that's what happened to me for over a year now.
I'll see if i can unlock Abaddon on this very profile.

(I'd like to edit my last message but it won't let me)

FINAL UPDATE : It definitely looks like i couldn't unlock more than 3 bosses per profile. So i just opened another profile (with Mr. Phatt and Agent 326) and got Abaddon.
Finally, my strife to unlock all characters is over. Smiley This thread can now forgotten about.

To edit a reply or post, it's called the "Modify" button. Us old people still call it Edit.

Congrats BTW.

I got to unlock all the bosses as well.

Plus there were a lot of hidden rooms in this game.

This was an underrated game that I enjoyed very much.

A sequel would be great.

I'm a pal user too and currently I'm playing the pal version to see if I will able to unlock everything as I unlocked in the USA version.

Keep in mind that using cheats block some "events":

- all cheats will stop scoring, except one - the quad damage cheat. It was obviously made to ease the unlocking of the secret characters.

- this quad damage code blocks the reveal of secret places such as the one in the Red Sea where the extra life is located. With the cheat on you can't blow up the entrance. When I turned off the code I was able to blow it.

I never used cheats, specifically because I knew they made it impossible to unlock things (apart from that quad damage cheat apparently).
I never thought this thread would still be active, even after 8 months of existence ! Thanks guys !

Didn't know if I should PM you or not, then I decided to post here.
Anyways, I think this game can be too hard at times, and its secret areas are... too well-hidden in my opinion. But Critical Depth is so enjoying at the same time ! I'd like Caddicarus to make a review of this game (he's a British YouTuber).
