Assault Android Cactus+ is arguably the best version of the game that you can play. Sure it doesn’t look quite as sharp as it does on the other platforms but it still looks good and more importantly runs just as well. It still is one of the most fun twin-stick shooters I’ve played even three years after I first played it. The addition of Campaign+ just gives me even more reason to keep playing especially since I can now do it on the go in portable form.

The remixed Campaign+ might not be enough of a reason for previous owners of the game to jump back in, but the plethora of online leaderboards should entice the high-score chasers among us. The local multiplayer and ease of play are perfect reasons to bust this one out for group gaming sessions, too. Assault Android Cactus+ is an easy recommendation for Switch owners looking for an exciting arcade experience.

Assault Android Cactus+ is the baked potato of twin-stick shooters. A perfectly cooked center, loaded with all the extra goods, and a dollop of charm for good measure. It's a perfect fit on Switch with its drop-in multiplayer and bite-sized levels, especially for those with score-chasing in mind.

Assault Android Cactus was an incredible game when it released a few years ago and it's just as great now with a few extras, too.Assault Android Cactus+ gameplay video → Assault Android Cactus Review The Walking Vegetables: Radical Edition Review PlayStation 4 ★★★☆☆ Here we have another twin-stick shooter and this one goes the extra mile when it comes to offering a retro '80s experience. The Walking Vegetables is a twin-stick shooter where you kill hordes of zombie-like vegetables.

While it is a short game, I think the phrase “short and sweet” applies rather well to this title. While it might not have the most to offer in terms of campaign, it well makes up for in couch co-op-ability, and yes that’s now a word. If you’re looking for something to do with a few friends, if you have those, go check out Assault Android Cactus, available on pretty much any system you can shake a stick at.
