Total count

There are 28 achievements in total. They broadly fall into combat wins (boss fights, special kills), money milestones (cumulative income, big single sells, gambling wins), collection milestones (number of fish caught, rare variants found), and trick-shot goals (specific feats with the rod or weapons).

Full list

Progress for any single save is visible from the Steam overlay. Achievement tracking resets only if you start a new save. To track progress across multiple saves, note the achievement description and check it after major milestones like defeating a boss or unlocking a new island.
