Superhero Simulator features 11 official Steam achievements tied directly to your hero rank progression across Goldpine City. Added by developer mightyraccoon! Studios in the post-1.0 update following the game's full release, these achievements unlock sequentially as you gain experience and advance through the ranks. In addition to Steam achievements, the game features an in-game Achievements and Rewards panel accessible via the Tab menu, which grants cosmetic masks, skill upgrades, and villain encounter trackers.

Steam Achievements vs. In-Game Achievements Panel
Players often confuse the official Steam achievements with the in-game panel titled Achievements. Both systems track your progress, but they deliver different rewards and fulfill different roles.
Official Steam Achievements
The 11 platform achievements are tracked through Steam and rely exclusively on your overall account hero rank, from Vigilante up to Legend. Earning enough total EXP from city patrols and major encounters automatically triggers these achievements.
The In-Game Rewards Menu
Pressing Tab opens your hero dashboard, which includes a dedicated Achievements and Skills interface. Rather than granting Steam trophies, this system tracks in-game unlocks:
- Masks and Outfits: Reaching specific level thresholds prompts you to return to your apartment wardrobe to equip newly unlocked gear, such as level-tier masks or themed headwear.
- Combat Maneuvers: Level milestones in this menu unlock abilities such as dodging while running (W + Left Shift + A/D on keyboard, or Right Trigger on controller), air dashes, eye lasers, and the Grab skill to lift and throw vehicles.
- Villain Tracking: Defeating or catching specific named antagonists, such as the recurring villain A-hole during chase sequences, logs progress directly in your criminal files.
How to Earn EXP and Rank Up Fast
Progressing toward the Legend rank requires earning steady EXP while balancing your superhero duties with your civilian survival needs.
Prioritize Timed Emergency Missions
Patrolling Goldpine City generates dynamic map alerts that award substantial EXP upon completion:
- Hostage Crises: Approach the armed captor and press the prompt key (Space on keyboard or A on controller) to stop the moving indicator inside the target zone before the hostage is harmed.
- Bomb Defusal: Interact with explosive devices and complete the timing meter mini-games before the countdown timer reaches zero.
- Armed Gang Disturbances: Defeat squads of street thugs using basic attack combos, defensive parries (E key), and dynamic cinematic finishers.
- Disaster Rescues: Put out building fires by channeling extinguish powers, lift heavy rubble to free trapped victims, transport injured pedestrians to the hospital drop zone, or pull drowning civilians from coastal docks.
Maintain Your Vital Stats
Neglecting your personal needs directly hampers your ability to patrol and earn rank points. Your hero monitors three critical survival meters at the top of the HUD:
- Energy: Drains as you perform actions. Restore energy by ordering food from your apartment phone (such as Meal Dash deliveries), stocking the fridge, or sleeping in your bed.
- Hygiene: Decreases over time. Maintain it by taking a shower and using the bathroom in your apartment to prevent severe stat debuffs.
- Mental: Drops from negative events, stress, or consuming alcohol. Keep your mental gauge stable through proper rest and hygiene.
If your vitals drop to zero, your character collapses from exhaustion and incurs hospital bills that drain your wallet.
Manage Finances and Rent Deadlines
Being a hero in Goldpine City does not pay regular wages, and failure to pay your landlord (Miss E. Victoria) results in eviction notices within days. Use your phone to take paid civilian side jobs, such as driving a taxi. Navigating passengers to their drop-off markers within tight time limits provides the cash needed to purchase meals, pharmacy supplies, and wardrobe upgrades without cutting into your hero patrol schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Superhero Simulator launch without Steam achievements?
Superhero Simulator spent its Early Access period focused on core flight and city mechanics. The developers officially enabled the 11 Steam achievements in the post-launch update on October 11, 2026, alongside car-grabbing physics and finisher camera updates.
Can flying through buildings void achievement progress?
Crashing directly through Goldpine skyscrapers causes property destruction and lowers the overall city Peace Level bar. While building destruction does not lock you out of rank-up achievements permanently, maintaining a high Peace Level ensures optimal patrol stability and avoids unnecessary mission chaos.
Do taxi driving and burger chef jobs count toward Steam achievements?
Civilian side jobs do not have standalone Steam achievements. However, the cash earned from driving taxis is essential for buying food, healing items, and paying rent, allowing you to survive long enough to grind the EXP necessary for the Legend rank.
