Fortunately it’s actually a pretty decent shooter even though it lacks any real innovation and fails to take advantage of the hardware in any meaningful way.Īndroid Assault takes place in the year 2192 long after off-planet colonization has become a reality. So where does Android Assault: The Revenge of Bari Arm fit in, you may ask? While it is an exclusive release for the add-on it’s something that could have just as easily been done on the Sega Genesis with few features missing. It was a bit of a mess to be honest, but some such as Gamearts and Konami gave us titles so large in scope that they never would have been possible on a cartridge. Some created ill-fated FMV titles for it, others made games that could easily have been done on the Genesis, and others took this a step further by porting previous releases on the base console with minimal enhancements. There are also animated cut scenes that tell the story of Bari-Arm.>When the Sega CD was originally released the biggest problem it faced was the fact that developers just didn’t know what to do with the exponentially larger storage medium. There are several stages ranging from asteroid belts, planet surfaces, underwater and finally the alien mothership with each stage containing an enormous boss the player must defeat to advance to the next level.
The gameplay is a side-scrolling shooter, similar to R-Type, where the player takes control of a space fighter that can morph into a cyborg called Bari-Arm and has an arsenal of weaponry to take down enemy ships including the Thundercracker, Burning Wave and the Chase Cannon along with picking up health and power-ups left behind by destroyed enemies. They have assembled a massive fleet that has crushed any opposing ship that has been sent their way and has started to attacking colonies stationed on nearby planets with a collision course to Earth and it is up to the player to stop them. In Android Assault an alien species called the Xias have targeted human beings for extermination.
