Released: 1990
Assault City is a shooting game released in two cartridge types that either support the Light Phaser or standard controller.
+ Level design throws out a multitude of ideas from Stage 4 onwards and the Phaser's rapid fire ability helps to even the odds.
+ Outstanding bosses are the true highlight, as they have mild puzzle elements that require patience over continuous fire.
+ Backgrounds feature destructible scenery and watching bosses slowly break apart is a great visual reward for skilled play.
+ Gun accuracy is among the best on the system, and the standard controller fairs well thanks to a generous reticle size.
- Stages 1-3 are forgettable, as they excessively repeat the first wave of enemies that have predictable patterns.
- Story and cinematics dash by at ridiculous speed and there's literally no time to read the text or get invested in the plot!
