You will get this while going for all the other achievements. Alternatively, you can load up Endless Mode after you beat the story to work on it. Kill 100 enemies with a Katana and the achievement is yours.

See "Can't get enough" for an effective strategy.

Challenges are unlocked once you beat the Story and each feature between 18 and 25 levels from the Story mode with different modifiers, sometimes making it easier, sometimes making it harder. You can access them through the main menu. You need to complete all levels of a single challenge to unlock the next one. Complete all to unlock the achievement. Despite the achievement name, it's not really a herculean task. Below you will find a list of all challenges and tips on how to beat them.

1. KATANA ONLY CHALLENGE
You move faster, but you only have a Katana. You can't pick up objects and you can't throw anything except your Katana, which you can pick up again if it was not destroyed by a bullet. You also cannot punch enemies. The key is to move slowly and take your time.

You can also hide behind a corner and run against the wall. This will make time advance, so the enemies will come to you and you can cut them down one by one the second they turn the corner. Try cutting incoming bullets if you are about to die (this will also earn you the "So it is possible!" achievement).

2. AD2013 CHALLENGE
Melee attacks kill instantly but all melee weapons and throwables are not usable. You can still use guns and shoot enemies. Feels much like the normal mode.

3. GHOST CHALLENGE
To take control of an enemy, press . Hotswitch needs to recharge after you use it so move around until you see HOTSWITCH AVAILABLE to use it again.

In this challenge, Hotswitch is available in all levels and your melee attacks kill instantly. The catch is, that there are no weapons for you to use, though you can still pick up objects and throw them at enemies. Try to conserve Hotswitch to warp out of tricky situations and make heavy use of anything you can throw at enemies. And yes, you can shoot at an enemy, warp into him before the bullet hits him and be killed by your own bullet. So be careful.

4. FULLSTOP CHALLENGE
Time stands completely still when you don't move, but you can only shoot once from each gun and enemy bullets fly faster.

5. KILLING THROWS CHALLENGE
Throwable objects kill instantly but you can't shoot guns and your melee attacks are weakend (5 instead of 3 hits to kill). Make heavy use of anything you can throw at enemies.

6. BAREHANDS CHALLENGE
Probably one of the harder challenges. You can only melee enemies. There are no guns, melee weapons, no objects to throw. Move really slowly and try to anticipate your enemies moves. Spawn locations are predictable to a high degree so use this to your advantage.

7. SPEEDRUN CHALLENGE
See "Stand REDy" for detailed information.

8. SPEEDRUNrt CHALLENGE
See "Get REDy" for detailed information.

9. HOTSWITCH CHALLENGE
This challenge has only 18 levels and these are the levels that normally do not have Hotswitch enabled. This challenge is much like normal mode, just a bit easier. Last time to relax before the hard challenges.

10. HARD MODE CHALLENGE
From here, challenges get progressively harder. In HARD MODE, time runs faster and enemy bullets fly faster. Additionally, punches are weakened and enemies are not stunned as long as usual.
Move very slowly, throw anything (even your gun) at incoming bullets to avoid getting hit. It may take a few tries, but by now you should be pretty familiar with the levels to be able to beat the challenge.

11. IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE
Upping the ante a bit more is the IMPOSSIBLE challenge, where every HARD MODE restriction applies and every gun has just one bullet. Make sure after you fired a shot to throw the gun at an enemy or incoming bullet. Use the time to find the next gun.

12. NO RESTART CHALLENGE
Probably the hardest challenge, not because of the modifiers (they actually work towards you), but because every mistake forces you to restart from the beginning.
You have to play through all 25 levels in one sitting. Fortunately, time completely stops when you stop, so use that to plan your moves carefully. Move slowly to avoid running into bullets and use the "Matrix move" (see FULLSTOP challenge) to get out of tricky situations.

13. FUNFUNFUN
Congratulations, you've almost done it. FUNFUNFUN offers you another chance to relax, because enemies have big heads and every attack is a one hit kill. Should pose no problem.
