Cashtronauts Hands-On Impressions

Jason Love

The core mechanic to Cashtronauts is not much different than any other shooter. Fly around, shoot stuff, and get points (or money, in this case). There's a central space hub area that's patrolled by "Tricera-cops" (in this future, dinosaurs rule the galaxy) where you can sell minerals you collect and refuel/restock your ship. Outside of this hub space - which is denoted by a faint line around - there are asteroids with minerals in them that you can blow up to get the goodies inside and space pirates that attack you in attempts to get your hard earned cash.

Engage in Piracy, Mining, and More in Cashtronauts

The game puts you in the cockpit of a space jockey who's out to earn his fortune in an alternate future where dinosaurs rule the galaxy. To achieve this lofty goal, you'll shoot down space pirates, do some mining (by shooting asteroids), and attack innocent civilians to loot their wares. Cashtronauts allows you to do all of this in order to earn as much cash as possible before you're (inevitably) shot down; either by the police force, pirates, or hostile aliens. You can do all this alone, or with up to three friends via local co-op.
