Here's a quick breakdown of both titles. Assault Android Cactus is a fantastic twin-stick shooter where you and up to three of your friends (locally) control robots to fight your way through a ship that's been taken over by a rogue A.I. Each character has her own unique primary and alternate weapons, and teaming up with friends allows for a lot of crazy combinations. Something new for the PlayStation 4 version of the game is that it will support the Shareplay feature, meaning you can pull in a remote friend to take over one of the local co-op spots for an hour at a time.

Set in a future sci-fi universe where robots have lost control and are going haywire, you play the part of an intergalactic cop whose job is to investigate distress beacons emitted by ships lost in deep space.

While the title has been in the Steam Early Access program for some time now, Assault Android Cactus will see a full release some time this summer on Playstation 4, PS Vita, and the Wii U. The developers of the game, indie developer Witch Beam, stated that they were inspired by "classic arcade shoot 'em ups" and an art style evocative of the "colorful visuals of the Dreamcast era". Looking at the game in action, I'd say they hit those targets.

As one of eight androids, you must battle an army of robots that have taken control of a space freighter. Through the 25 level campaign, you’ll encounter a manic display of robots with varying attacks and abilities. The environments are also dynamic, with the floors in some levels constantly changing as you attack your enemies. From the trailer it’s clear that Assault Android Cactus is a fast-paced wall-to-wall action shooter, as the screen is constantly filled with an array of projectiles you won’t have time to plan out your every move. The pure spontaneity is something that not many twin stick shooters offer.
