Assault Android Cactus is just fucking fun. I have a natural tendency to slip into critic mode–whether playing a game for review or not. After engaging with games for so long it’s hard not to constantly be reading into the craft of everything I play. I’m always thinking about what a designer intended, how certain parts of the game intersect with narrative aims, how a level design guides you…you get the idea.
When I play Assault Android Cactus all I think is “this game is so fucking fun I want to keep playing it.” Not to say that it’s a mindless shooter that’s easy to zone out to. Rather, this is one of those games that’s so thoughtfully designed that I my thoughts can take time off and appreciate the sheer physical joy of manipulating it.
