Assault Heroes is an old-school top-down combat shooter. As the sole surviving member of an elite unit, you control various military vehicles that cross land and sea in search of an underground lab that contains weapons secrets. Your right stick enables you to shoot in all directions, and you can scroll through and upgrade various weapons: a minigun, a flamethrower, missiles, grenades, and screen-clearing nukes. With the press of a button, you can jump out of your vehicle and fight on foot, which brings in more points but can cost you a life. When your vehicle sustains too much damage, you have to fight on foot briefly until it respawns, but when you die on foot, you lose a life.
The game certainly feels familiar, but it stands out in several ways. First is the difficulty. Whereas many arcade shooters are nearly impossible for a casual gamer to beat without resorting to infinite lives, Assault Heroes provides three reasonable settings that will challenge but rarely frustrate gamers of all skill levels (at least until the final scene; more on that in a bit). Whenever you clear an entire area (there are 17 total), you unlock the next one as a starting point for the next time you play, so even on the harder settings, you don't have to play the beginning stages over and over without ever seeing the later ones.
The only downside to the game is that the final scene is a bit too difficult, especially on medium difficulty and above. It's a timed escape that requires you to run down a hallway that's densely packed with enemies without slowing down. It's a shame that, after getting so far, so many casual gamers will probably just give up. To look at the bright side, re-trying this scene endlessly adds to the total playtime, which is only a few hours without it.
