Assault Heroes is an arcade-style dual-joystick shooter released for Xbox 360. Players control vehicles such as 4x4s and speedboats, as well as navigating on foot. The gameplay involves progressing through levels while defeating enemies and bosses. Health regenerates over time, and vehicles can be repaired with pickups. Players use a weak machine gun on foot, earning double points for enemy kills, before eventually respawning their vehicle.
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.
