The difficulty curve is another element that the people at Witch Beam have nailed.

I think ensuring that there is a cast of characters worth caring about is an area that is lacking in a lot of twin-stick shooters that AAC+ simply excels at.

Each character has a unique, likeable personality to them that I thoroughly enjoyed. Instantly, I feel in love with a number of characters that honestly would not look out of place in the box art of a late 1990’s Rare Ltd game. Despite my increasing age and my ever-slowing hand-eye coordination, I found immense enjoyment in every aspect of AAC+.įrom the moment I booted up the game I knew I was onto something different to most twin-sticks. Somehow, someway, the developers at Witch Beam have created a game that goes against everything I thought I’d known about myself and what I enjoy in games. Despite this, I’ve avoided the game like the plague, I absolutely hate twin-stick shooters and bullet-hell games, so this really didn’t appeal to my senses whatsoever. My Twitter feed seemingly has someone talking about Assault Android Cactus+ every time I open my app. A twin-stick shooter that has gotten non-stop rave reviews every time it has been released on a new platform seems like a no-brainer for just about anyone to buy straight away.
