Assault Heroes is an arcade-style dual-joystick shooter for PlayStation 3, featuring gameplay that alternates between driving vehicles, such as 4x4s and speedboats, and engaging in on-foot combat. Players navigate through levels, combatting enemies and large bosses. Health regenerates over time, with vehicles able to be repaired through pickups. Upon losing a vehicle, players can fight with a weaker machine gun until a new vehicle respawns.
Assault Heroes is an arcade-style scrolling dual-joystick shooter where the player drives 4x4s or speedboats, sometimes moving around on-foot.
Like most dual-joystick shooters, one stick controls the movement of the player while the right stick directs your gunfire. The objective of the game is to progress through each level, defeating enemies and huge bosses. Vehicle and player health slowly regenerate, while vehicles can be instantly repaired with a special pick-up item. Once your vehicle is destroyed, you run around on foot. You're limited to a weak machine gun, but get double points for destroyed enemies. Once you lose all your health, you lose a life. After about 10 seconds of being on foot, your vehicle respawns.
