Excerpt from the article:
"With the decline of western arcades, shoot em’ ups and similar titles have become fewer and further between. Fewer still are titles that attempt to innovate within this space, with the majority hearkening back to the arcade roots of a long passed era. With this, titles in this genre can often seem somewhat inaccessible, offering brutally punishing difficulties and a very steep learning curve for newcomers. Assault Android Cactus seeks to change this, offering a more accessible shoot ’em up experience, while retaining the depth, silky smooth controls, explosive visuals, and spectacularly frantic gameplay that fans have came to expect of the genre."
Assault Android Cactus has been upgraded on PC. Assault Android Cactus+ adds a number of features from the recent Switch version.
From GameWatcher: "Assault Android Cactus is a top-down shooter that's got an 'overwhelmingly positive' review rating on Steam, but as it turns out, this is not nearly enough for the game to get accepted for release on Epic Games Store."
It doesn't even have 1K reviews and it released in 2015. Plus, I never even heard of this game so I'm not all that surprised really.
It's one thing to filter out pornographic content and worthless cash grabs with exploitative real money transactions, and quite another to turn away a polished and acclaimed indie game. This doesn't add up.
This game released 4 years ago and it wasn't successful enough to be an epic game store game
Who the f*ck wants to play twin stick shooters and sh*t when you got real games wtf?!
I don't support Epic because of Tencent but I agree with them on this being a trash game I wouldn't want cluttering my store page, looks like a GTA mini-game.
Fuck Epic. Gamers don't need Epic being an overbearing parent telling people what to play. Just proving more and more why they're an absolute joke.
Miguel Moran:
"When Assault Android Cactus originally came out back in 2015, it totally passed me by. I vaguely remember the lead up to its release, but it just never grabbed my attention. 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. What I discovered was a gem of a co-op game and my absolute favourite twin-stick shooter of all time. Now, almost 3 years later, one of my favourite indie games is back with an enhanced and upgraded Nintendo Switch port."
I like broforce but this is getting awesome reviews...why didn't we vote for this instead especially after the half assed broforce port
I voted for this as well.
I also voted this. I played approximately 1 hour of Broforce before deleting it from my ps4, I have played this non-stop the last 2 days.
