Drive, shoot and defeat enemy waves

Assault Heroes is an old fashioned vertical scrolling shooter loaded with frantic action and many exciting power-ups.

Now, don’t get me wrong here: when I say old fashioned, I mean Assault Heroes follows a traditional arcade style both in story and gameplay.

You’re a member of an elite army team, entrusted with a very simple mission: wipe out the enemy. Just like those good ol’ arcade games, you control a small vehicle from a top view perspective and move in vertical scroll while shooting just about anything that appears on the screen.

Being more of a casual game, the enemies in Assault Heroes don’t have a very well developed AI and will attack you in uncontrolled waves rather than strategic ambushes.

Also, the vehicle itself is a bit difficult to control during the first minutes of playtime, as it involves a strange combination of keyboard and mouse.

On the upside, the wide variety of power-ups and a high level of detail make the game really attractive. Pity the demo only lets you test for half an hour.

As the only surviving members of an Elite Special Forces unit, it is up to you to find the secret underground lab. Go the mission alone or fight side by side with a friend in the two-player cooperative mode.

Navigate your heavily armed 4×4, speed boat or travel on foot and blast your way through enemy-infested territory. Prepare to be assaulted by waves of formidable enemies with unrelenting attacks.
