Get ready to take a wild ride in a caterpillar-treaded self-propelled gun with 'Arcade Archives: Assault Plus'! This classic arcade title is back for a new generation, taking charmingly retro graphics and heart-pounding action to the PS4. A combination of Evans and a bonkers storyline means it's a blast from the past that's as relevant as your friend's obsession with avocado toast.
In 'Assault Plus', players control a tank-like gun while navigating eleven increasingly chaotic levels, defying the laws of physics and common sense. The gameplay mechanics are about as direct as your uncle at Thanksgiving: move around, shoot, and try not to get hit by anything because yeah, dying is bad... but honestly, who doesn't enjoy a little chaos? The twin-stick control scheme is a dance where your thumbs become Michael Jackson and the joysticks are the dance floor. One joystick moves the tank while the other takes aim, which sounds easier than it is. Think of it like trying to juggle while simultaneously working out your dance moves.
Oh boy, let's talk graphics. If you've ever wanted to witness pixel art that was cutting-edge back when 'Top Gun' first graced our screens, then this is the game for you. Featuring stunning sprite scaling, you may find yourself reminiscing about good ol' days when game developers put their heartfelt sweat into making something that looked visually compelling. It's retro, quirky, and definitely charming - like a 90s sitcom that you can't help but rewatch because it just feels good. So, prepare to squint a bit as you enjoy that good old aesthetic, wrapped in a nostalgic warm blanket.
Ultimately, 'Arcade Archives: Assault Plus' is a wild nostalgia ride that packs a punch of pure arcade bliss. Whether you're a veteran player just looking to relive some battle action or a fledgling hero wanting to test your skills, this title delivers an experience that's more exhilarating than winning a game of Mario Kart by utilizing a blue shell at the last possible moment. So gear up, grab a controller, and prepare to unleash chaos upon unsuspecting aliens - they won't see you coming (and they definitely won't be able to complain when you shoot them). All in all, 'Assault Plus' is an avalanche of fun that will leave your thumbs sore and your heart racing. So, give it a shot!
