BRISBANE,
QUEENSLAND – Feb. 20, 2019 – Assault
Android Cactus+, the action-packed arcade-style twin-stick
shooter by Witch
Beam, debuts on the Nintendo Switch March 8.
Assault
Android Cactus+ is an enhanced edition of the acclaimed
twin-stick shooter, bringing everything Cactus is known for
to the Switch including the vibrant roster of playable characters
with unique loadouts, transforming stages, and smooth 60
frames-per-second mayhem. This edition adds new character costumes,
aim assist options and Campaign+, a completely reimagined version of
the 25-stage campaign.
Campaign+
caters to experienced players by rebuilding each stage with new enemy
waves and dynamic elements, utilizing the game's full arsenal of
enemies for new encounters and amped-up boss fights. Veterans and
newcomers alike will be able to go deeper than ever before and have
even more online leaderboards to conquer.
Thanks
to the Switch, Cactus+ is not only playable on the go, but
single Joy-Con support makes it a snap to play co-op anywhere. With
aim assist, players focus on dodging, shooting and managing weapons,
retaining the heart of the experience even without twin joysticks.
Aim assist also works with dual Joy-Con and Pro Controllers making it
ideal for players learning the ropes or anyone wanting to give their
thumb a rest. It's the perfect equalizer for gathering friends for up
to 4-player couch co-op.
Boss
Rush and Infinity Drive give determined players even more action,
while Daily Drive gives them one shot at setting a worldwide high
score in a newly generated level. Developer Commentary, Jukebox, and
Sound Test modes are joined by a new Movie Gallery for revisiting
cinematics. Unlock new costumes for all nine Androids and earn
credits to enable EX options like first person mode, AI players and
the newly re-balanced MEGA Weapons that are more destructive than
ever.
"We're
proud of what we achieved with Assault Android Cactus Plus,"
says Tim Dawson, director, Witch Beam. "Campaign+ is our love
letter to hardcore genre fans and aim assist is making our game even
more accessible. More people are going to be able to get more out of
it."
Assault
Android Cactus+ will release on Nintendo Switch on March 8 for
$19.99 and can be pre-purchased now with a 25% discount for $14.99.
The game supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and
Japanese languages.
