My Twitter feed seemingly has someone talking about Assault Android Cactus+ every time I open my app. You can get it on Steam for $14.99, and it was a nominee for a PlayStation Plus free game for March until Broforce took it.A twin-stick shooter that has gotten non-stop rave reviews every time it has been released on a new platform seems like a no-brainer for just about anyone to buy straight away. Yes, there isn’t too much imagination put into it, as action his focal point here. In short, your fingers will be hurting after playing this game, but I think it is worth it. When you die, you have to hit your fire button multiple times. There is a lot of weapons upgrades to help you, and you keep your character alive by grabbing a battery before it runs out. I played this game on the PS4, and my finger was always on the fire button, because there was always robots on the screen trying to kill you. You can shoot up all kinds of robots, and if you play as more than one player, you might get yourself mixed up.

Now, it is time to talk about the gameplay, and it is very adrenaline-flowing. The problem with this look is that it makes most of the characters very indiscernible from the other. I don’t know if that is offensive to a particular group of people, but this kind of reminds me of Metroid with a Zelda: Windwaker look to it. You see the graphic there? All the characters have a “little person” view to it. That is the name of the game, and it has a weird look to it. The pilot’s name is Cactus, and this massive starship has some kind of robot uprising on it. The game is about a space fighter pilot that has to pull a rescue operation on a giant spaceship. The right hand fires, and yeah, I get it messed up.īefore I talk about the gameplay, let’s talk about the set-up. I am right handed, and it is usually is the left-hand that moves. They boil down to one joystick does the moving does the firing.įrom what I remember, these twin-stick shooter games can be very confusing as one hand moves and another fires.

If you aren’t familiar with twin-sticks, there was a terrific stand-up arcade game known as Robotron 2084 that is a good example of this.

I will have to say that Assault Android Cactus is a twin-stick shooter game.
