More akin to Robotron than some of the more recent efforts to meld the dual stick shooter with more cerebral genres – such as Alienation’s blend of RPG and dual stick shooter – Assault Android Cactus wastes no time whatsoever in pumping the action right up to 11.

I don’t really have an excuse for missing the game, but I’ve played it now, and I’m glad I have, because it doesn’t disappoint on any level.

Secondly, it’s an Aussie-developed game, and I do like supporting my local game makers wherever possible. I hadn’t played Assault Android Cactus until its release on Nintendo Switch, which is a double whammy of “how did you miss this one?!?” Firstly, it’s a dual stick shooter, and every time it has been released on a new platform I had heard nothing but praise for it. I’m terrible at SHMUPS and the like, but give me a good dual stick shooter and I’m in my element. From right back with Robotron 2084, right through to the likes of Geometry Wars, dual stick shooters have been my go-to for extreme twitch action. The aim of the game is to get as high a score as possible, meaning there is no real ending.This will surprise a fair few people, but I’m actually quite a big fan of dual stick shooters. The game may have simple mechanics, but the difficulty quite quickly ramps up as the player needs to build their base, simultaneously giving them more power while making it harder to avoid being hit by enemies. The game also features a detailed sound design, including a range of sound effects. This, along with some camera tricks and other effects, gives the game a vibrant and distinctive appearance. The game is presented in a top-down 2D style and features hand-drawn art in the unique style of popular game development YouTuber, Blackthornprod.

As the game progresses, the player gains more weaponry. To start with, the entity fires a projectile at regular intervals, and the player must rotate it to aim these projectiles at advancing enemies. The player can rotate this entity by moving the mouse around the screen, as well as moving with the keyboard. The core mechanic of the game sees the player controlling a single entity in the middle of the screen.
