How co-op works
Up to four local players clear the 25-stage campaign on one screen, choosing nine androids with distinct weapon pairs. One draining battery replaces lives for the whole team, so players maintain kills and collect charges while managing transforming arenas and bosses.
About this game
Assault Android Cactus+ throws you into a frantic twin-stick shooter where synthetic heroines fight to reclaim a spaceship overrun by its own rebellious robots. This is true co-op, built for up to four players working together to survive escalating waves of enemies. Each of the nine playable androids brings unique weapon loadouts and movement styles that completely change how you approach combat.

The core loop is pure arcade survival: dodge walls of bullets, manage your battery charge before it drains completely, and chain together kills to rack up high scores. Playing with others amplifies the chaos in the best way, as crowded arenas demand constant repositioning and quick communication to avoid friendly fire and share power-ups during desperate moments.
Local co-op supports both shared-screen and split-screen configurations, making it a natural fit for couch sessions where everyone can shout out warnings and celebrate clutch revives. The intense pacing and short campaign levels create quick, replayable bursts of teamwork that reward coordination and reflex over long-term strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many players can play together in co-op?
Up to four players can team up locally in co-op. You'll all fight together on the same screen (or split-screen) to battle through the robot hordes.
Is there online co-op, or only local?
The game is built for local co-op only, though it does support Steam Remote Play Together if you want to play with friends online through that feature.
Do the different androids play differently enough to matter in co-op?
Yes, each of the nine androids has unique weapon loadouts and movement styles that genuinely change how you play. Picking complementary characters can make a real difference when coordinating with your team.
What happens if one player runs out of battery?
Your battery constantly drains and you'll shut down if it hits zero. The game is built around managing this tension and sharing power-ups during desperate moments, making battery management a key part of co-op coordination.
How long are the campaign levels?
Levels are designed as short, intense bursts rather than long missions. This makes it perfect for quick couch co-op sessions where you can jump in, play a few chaotic rounds, and go for high scores without a huge time commitment.
