That Gaming Site writes: "Ion Assault may not be on the radar for many people due to its classic versus contemporary mixture of gameplay elements which often leads to hit and miss gameplay. Despite its flaws, Ion Assault is thankfully more classic than contemporary and whilst not for everyone will appeal to gamers looking to relive the passion of yesteryear gaming."

Hardcore Gamer: The third Reboot bundle is now available, and while it lacks anything involving the early'00s CG show, it does contain some games for a minimal fee. For the first 48 hours of the deal, so until Wednesday, you can get Rune Classic, X Blades, Hoard Complete Pack, Ion Assault, Knights and Merchants, and Planets Under Attack for only $2.
Neocrisis: Space shooters, space war shooters, space invaders, shmups - yep they're pretty much about mankind shooting the face off millions and squillions of invading aliens.
Good review. Provides a lot of information on Ion Assault. From what you've said, 8 sounds like the right score.
Nothing like a little nostalgia.
