One of the most beautifully intense games yet to grace the 3DS

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2011

I bought this game after I seeing screen shots of gameplay footage on a gaming blog; the graphics themselves looked so detailed and impressive, I didn't really care about the gameplay, or that it came for a company not known for the quality of their games. What I most wanted was a game that made clever use of the 3D that the system has to offer, and provide me with a unique experience that did not come from Nintendo. Once I started the game, however, I was not prepared by how amazingly detailed and effective the 3D is in the game, and dare I say, the 3D might be a little too effective. I found that playing the game with the 3D slider at max created a great 3D effect, but was so powerful that I spent some time toying with the slider until I found the position that best suited my eyesight. AFter finding that, I played the game extensively, and came away reasonably impressed. If you like "bullet hell" shooters or shooting games a'la "Contra", you will definitely enjoy this game; it provides plenty of replay value, and the difficulty is almost overwhelming in certain areas. The fact that you are given three tries before you die and have to restart the level is insanely frustrating, but for the hardcore gamer in me, I pushed forward, wanting to see how much more beautiful the game could get.

If you are thinking about purchasing this title, be aware that,

a. The 3D may be a little too taxing on the eyes, so adjust the slider slightly until it does not effect it negatively;
b. The difficulty is insane and reminiscent of old school shooters, so pace yourself and remember the control scheme;
c. Enjoy the visuals, as they are some of the prettiest the 3DS has to offer.

This being my tenth 3DS game is indicative of the fact that I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a game that provides a challenge, beautiful graphics, and an impressive use of the 3D, all coming from a company other than Nintendo.

Better than expected!

I was looking forward to this game since I really enjoyed Nanostray 1 & 2 on DS. After seeing screenshots, and some vids on youtube, I was alittle worried. Oh, it looked like alot of fun, but different than Nanostray. After playing it for alittle bit I noticed how hard some parts were (as expected since Nanostray 1 & 2 are hard). Well, after getting use to the controls/movement (and turning the 3D down alittle) I noticed I was dying alot less and having a blast in the process. The graphics are some of the best on 3DS, and the framerate is smooth as silk. The music fits the mood of the game, and reminds me of the Metroid Prime series. The gameplay I'd describe as a mix between Super Stardust HD (PS3/PSP), Sin & Punishment (Wii) & even alittle bit of Super Mario Galaxy (Wii). [The way the screen moves when moving around a cell totally reminds me of SMG anyway (if you play it I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about)] The bosses are also alot of fun (and look cool), and you'll have to figure out the best way to take them out... or you'll die. The levels are alot of fun to repeat play, too. I'm at the end of Chapter 5, but I've been replaying the levels in Arcade mode where you can try for the high score and appear in an online leaderboard (my name is Necroticus on there), or try to beat the challenge in each stage and get coins to unlock creature info and music for the jukebox. When you beat the game you unlock Boss Rush Mode, but I haven't beat the game yet. That sounds like fun considering the bosses are alot of fun to play. The game is definitely alot of fun, better than expected, and I fully recommend to anyone looking for a challenging and fun space shooter. If you're not sure head on over to youtube and check out some gameplay vids. I hope you liked my review (I normally don't review games/items so I hope I did good).

PS: The fact that the full retail is $10 less than your typical 3DS game is nice, too. Also, they should advertise this game more. I feel like this would be a big hit among shooter fans.

Eye-popping 3D, hardcore shooter action, and a budget price!

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2012

Nano Assault is seemingly a continuation of the dull Nanostray series on the Nintendo DS. There are, however, almost no similarities between Nano Assault and either of the two Nanostrays. For one thing, the word 'nano' is actually appropriate in this title, as you play a Nanite ship that is attacking viruses and hostile microorganisms in someone's brain. The game does a good job of portraying the strange environment of human innards at the micro level: it is like an alien world!

The campaign isn't terribly long (longer than any given path in Star Fox 64 3D, at least), and in each cell there are three different types of stages to complete. One is an open-ended shooter where you travel across the surface of a cell, collect strands of DNA, and wipe-out enemy organisms. The second type is an on-rails segment (much like Star Fox). And the third is a boss fight. This clockwork structuring of levels works well, and I was glad to see a small variety of play styles presented.

The core of this game is arcade-style point scoring, and arcade mode accomplishes just that. There is also a fun boss rush mode as well. Along with other unlockables (which can be accessed using accumulated 'nano coins,' I believe they are called), this title should keep you busy for a while.

The boss fights are notable in this game. They are usually very clever and challenging, and the player must find a way to defeat a boss in a specific fashion.

One thing I love in this title are the changeable special weapons. Each special weapon has a variety of strengths and weaknesses, and it is fun to experiment with all of them.

The graphics are pretty nice looking in 2D mode, but move the slider up to 3D and you will be amazed by the depth and beauty of the 3D. This little game is easily one of the most eye-popping on the 3DS, and the alien environments are given remarkable life through the utilization of 3D.

So far I've talked about what the game does right. What does it do wrong? Well, for one thing, the game self-adjusts the difficulty based upon how you play. Now, I know some people will like this, but I've always loved muscling through tough levels in games without having to tank the difficulty. Moreover, there is a notable lack of variety in the levels. All the worlds look very similar, so you will get a sense of deja-vu as you play through the campaign. It is also questionable how long the unlockables and arcade mode will keep the average player coming back.

Ultimately, however, this is a fantastic shooter, and a super bargain for the price it is at on Amazon. As I write this review, it is under $20. THAT is a terrific bargain. Get it as soon as you can!
