Enemies sometimes drop battery pickups to keep you topped up, so you need to keep an eye out for those as well as incoming bullets and robot parts.
The only way to truly Game Over is for the constantly-decreasing battery at the top of the screen to run out. But that's not the end of the level - hammer the fire button for a bit and you're back on your feet, albeit with your gun level back to 1 and your score reduced by 10%. Instead of the classic "one shot and you're dead", you can instead take a bit of damage before you end up getting knocked down. This is pretty familiar territory for shmups, but Assault Android Cactus+ throws in some of its own kinks - particularly in terms of health. Seemingly endless processions of enemies come from every corner, and you need to run around, keeping that trigger finger down as much as you can to stop from getting killed. Pick an android and a level to tackle and you're off into bullet hell heaven. Other characters opt for shotguns, railguns, lasers, and plenty of other weapons of minor destruction. You have a few different characters to choose from, each with a wildly different loadout that has various advantages and disadvantages, giving you the chance to play in the exact way you enjoy.Ĭactus is the most basic character, with an assault rifle as her primary and a flamethrower as her secondary. You run around with the left stick, aim with the right stick, hold down R or ZR to shoot, and you can swap between your primary and secondary weapon with L or ZL. Your job is to kill everything in sight across a series of tantalisingly short levels, taking down enormous, tricky bosses as you go on your quest of destruction, ultimately freeing the ship and its few remaining androids from the new robot overlords. And that's no mean feat.Īssault Android Cactus+ follows Cactus, an Assault-class android (hey!) cop who crashes onto a freighter in space that's currently in the midst of a robot uprising. It's fast and intense, offering up fresh ideas for the formula, all while being accessible enough that anyone can play it.
This is, without a doubt, one of the finest bullet hell shmups you will ever play. Trials Rising Switch review - "Trials at its best, if you ignore the IAPs" It's now the Switch's turn, and developer Witch Beam has pulled out all the stops for the new edition - and expanded version of the game known simply as Assault Android Cactus+. It first cropped up on PC in 2015, and has slowly crept onto other platforms over the years. Assault Android Cactus has been knocking around for a while.
