There are some extra factors in the equation that make this game stand out from your usual twin-stick shooters, though. It’s all accompanied by a fresh as hell soundtrack that mixes electronic synth with heavy artificial guitars that seamlessly blend in and out of gameplay depending on how the action is going. Each of the nine characters have a totally different set of weapons, offering plenty of ways to switch up your playstyle and keep the game fresh. The controls are slick with your main weapon complimented by powerful sub-weapons you can switch to. with twenty-five levels and five intense boss fights to overcome, you’ll be twin-stick shooting your way through a variety of ferocious enemies and neon-tinged environments. The gameplay is really where Assault Android Cactus+ shines brightest. If you really want an extra dose of lore, you can even hop into the Codex and read detailed entries about characters, enemies, and the world the game takes place in. Still, it does wonders with the little writing that it has, delivering plenty of quirky jokes and fun charm that help make your array of playable androids even more interesting. The story is pretty light in Assault Android Cactus+, with the game only featuring four animated cutscenes and some pre-boss dialogue.
Cactus and her new companions need to take down the boss bots and head to the centre of the ship so they can shut down the rogue programming once and for all.
When she arrives, she finds three other androids being attacked by insect-like robots, and discovers that the entire ship has been taken over by rogue robots. She’s an interplanetary space cop who’s responding to a distress signal being sent out by a nearby transport ship. In Assault Android Cactus+ you play as Cactus, the titular assault android. Now, almost 3 years later, one of my favourite indie games is back with an enhanced and upgraded Nintendo Switch port. What I discovered was a gem of a co-op game and my absolute favourite twin-stick shooter of all time. I was a fool for letting that happen, because just a year later I happened upon the game during a sale and decided to pick it up. I vaguely remember the lead up to its release, but it just never grabbed my attention. When Assault Android Cactus originally came out back in 2015, it totally passed me by.
