Puppy Games have seemed to created a niche for themselves. In fact not much has changed except these are different characters, and the screen scrolls.

Graphics are similar to Ultratron and Titan Attacks. In any case it’s fun to find out for yourself. There are some I know of from the demo, like extra score, shields, “rampage” mode (gives you intense rapid fire), regular rapid fire. Sure it has enough to show you how to play, but it never tells you all the little goodies, like power-ups and so forth. My only real complaint is the lack of more documentation. One that shot dual shots, and one that did some rapid fire. There was a basic one which shot single shots. Of course, as usual, there’s nothing to tell you what they all are, except after you’ve captured a different kind. There are several different types of droids. Soon you have tons of little robotic minions roaming about shooting bad guys. If you have enough transfer points you can easily overcome them. Right click an enemy to see if you can control them. This is easier than it sounds in actual practice. The thing that makes this unique is you can also take over other droids and build up your droid army to fight for you. The controls are pretty easy, very fps-like, WASD keys to move and left mouse button to fire. Next difference is the droids don’t all swarm toward you. You have to go through corridors and around corners and stuff.

This is different in that the levels, while not only are they scrolling, but they’re a bit more natural and maze like. See Ultratron has a full open arena with swarms of droids coming at you. Okay Droid Assault is a bit different than Ultratron. Looks like Puppy Games have done it again, only instead of robots… we get… uhh robots. If that movie was going to be made, and it had a movie tie-in game then Droid Assault would be it! Wait a sec, cooler than fighting robots off with your one robot, isn’t that what this is? Well no, the only thing that could be cooler than that would be fighting off waves or robots with your own robot army! That’s right, instead of Robotron-style arena-based droid combat against impossible odds, you get Robotron-style arena-based multi-droid combat against incredible odds! That’s just what this is too! Unfortunately we don’t get to see C3P0 take on a Cyberdyne Systems model 101, but we can at least pretend. What could be more awesome than fighting off alien invaders with your puny ship? Or fighting off robots with your one robot? You know the movie we’ve all been waiting for Star Wars: Salvation, where we finally get to see the Droid Wars.
