Small arenas make the twin stick shooting feel cramped at times, but the fast past and responsive action more than make up for that constraint.

fast paced twin stick arcade shooter , your main objective is to go throught the waves of enemies as fast as you can , getting batteries to keep your little android going.

getting knockdown is not extremely penalizing but can be fatal if it's happen at the wrong moment , when you get knock down you have to button mash the fire button to get back up.

it's work pretty well , fairly balanced and there is not a lot's of frustrating moments.

you unlock new characters as the game goes on , certain characters make some levels of boss easier so if you're having a hard time with one level you might want to try another Android.

there is also some bonus contents that give you more gameplay options things like having A.I controlled partners which is great even if these also prevent you from registering your score on the leaderboard.

best twin stick shooter wish the devs release something similar to this game in the future

This game alone got me into twin stick shooters (on xbox, a while ago) but playing it again on PC confirms that it's one of the best ever made.

This game taxes you to your absolute limit! Great multiplayer!

this is a good arcade shooter, worth a play. do it now, worth a buy.

This game is a masterpiece. If you like twin-stick shooters or top-down bullet hells, easily worth a buy. If you're sceptical, be wary for the demo as it can easily hook you.
Starting off visually, this game's got strong designs in its characters. The many, many mechanical foes fit in well with the varied environments, and they provide a great background for the Androids to stand out against, with their eye-catching hair (you see them top-down, so this is very much a plus) and their different personalities. The bosses are also sights to behold, with looks that match their zone and extremely recognisable silhouettes. An art gallery is included with nice renders, concept art and pieces from the team, or from guests.
Moving into the Androids themselves, each one's a treat to look at, listen to and are tons of fun to tinker with. Their kits are built for different play-styles and some stages favour specific picks, but the arcade nature of the game allows anyone to work anywhere if the player's good enough.
That brings us to the meat of it: game-play. This game has such solid fundamentals that everything just clicks. You've got a health system that allows risk and reward, gun upgrades that reward constant aggression and punish passiveness, with a unique "battery" system that has you racing against your own clock to beat the level, topping up on coveted pickups to keep you in the fight. Getting knocked down isn't the end of the world, and you can always make a comeback. Power-ups also come in three flavours, allowing you to temporarily boost speed/pickup range and firepower or give yourself a breather with invulnerability.
Stage design is also worth a shout here, as it is wonderfully crafted. From as early as 1-1, elements of the stage will constantly come into play and spice things up, so that the glorious systems in place never get dull. Constant shifting of the playing field, gimmicks that annoy you until you figure out how to use them yourself, the level design and the game in general always feels fair and the best players will turn the game against itself.
Hell, I still discover new things to this day. I never realised that the Firepower power-up could block bullets until today!

But, for a moment, I want to talk about my journey with AAC.
I got this with the Games with Gold service on my X-Box one, and I think I spent an easy 200-300 hours, probably more on it. Every year, I returned to it to give an achievement another shot, or just wanted to see if my muscle memory was still there and have fun. This game has always been there for me, a constant comfort that I can come back to and enjoy no matter what.
However, after selling my X-Box One, I decided to buy it for real this time.
In it, I discovered the "Assault Android Cactus+" update.
Only making its way to PC and Switch, I finally get to experience the glory of Campaign+. And holy Hell, it's like playing it again for the first time. Magical. Enemies get replaced, rearranged in all sorts of fun ways that still gave me trouble on my S+ attempts.
And they even give you the gift of harder bosses with a bonus bit of lore I've yet to discover. (I assume the fourth cut-scene comes from Campaign+? Only one way to find out.)

Without even going into the glory of co-op, between the rock-hard foundation of the gameplay, the striking and vibrant art direction. the serendipitous sound design, the Campaign/Campaign+, Daily and Infinite modes, as well as many other smaller touches I won't mention to keep this somewhat short, I can without a doubt recommend this with 110% confidence. A gem that in my opinion should've got more attention than it did, this is a drug of a game that will always keep me coming back, and I thank Witch Beam for pouring the potentially robotic hearts and souls of their team into this.
11/10.
Go play it already!

(P.S. I want to kiss the Androids. Witch Beam, please make an AAC VN happen, even as just an April Fools thing.)

One of my favorite games ever, never get tired of mowing down rogue robos!

very fun bullet hell game
