Onslaught, 4p online co-op FPS for Wiiware
- Thread starter happyfunball
- Start date
got this yesterday and played a couple hours so far, its a lot of fun for a cheap wiiware game. I've only played online co-op didnt try the single player yet. it looks like you have to play the single player to unlock weapon upgrades that work in multiplayer. online you choose from 13 levels and in free play it chooses one at random. I played the early levels and never got killed even though my teammates did, its not a easy game I'm just good at fps games so I could run away a lot from the hordes shooting them while running backwards, then someone picked level 10 and I got killed like 5 times (only had 1 teamate on that level though)...massive hordes everywhere overwhelmed me. It reminds me of starship troopers. it seems like online mode is always set to hard and thats good because its challenging and you need backup from teammates.
I cant make new threads can somebody make a friend code thread in the online forum or should we just post our codes here?

I thought the standard default controls were fine. although it's almost impossible for me to do the quick dodge moves with the analog stick. not that I've really ever felt I needed that move anyway. game is extremely trashy but I've had a lot of fun with it. especially the defense levels on harder difficulty settings have been great.
only managed to find someone to play it with online one time though.

yeah, the upgraded weapons either appear out of dead enemies or are placed around on the levels (not sure which) as pickups, just like the ammo. seems like there's probably one upgraded weapon to be found on every level.basik said:

A is the closest to Metroid's Advanced controls IMO.DavidDayton said:

now that I've played the game more I'd give it a 7 or 8. 6 is too low because its fun, 9 is too high because there is room for improvement in a sequel. the online is all about getting a high score and staying alive. it feels good if you can survive the whole level and get a good score and at the end you can see who died and its funny when you have the highest score and didnt die and see all your teammates died multiple times.

I personally would love to see Hudson make a full-blown retail sequel with DLC.
Problem is, they're against deathmatches specifically, so it's doomed to fail. :'(

Bought this today.
Certainly rough and in need of a lot of improvements, but what's there is fun if you just want a quick score-based shooting game. It's great they've included so many ranking features.
I say watch a whole lot of videos. If you think you'd like it then give it a shot. If the videos seem iffy to you then there's really nothing else in the game that will sell it.

in single player mode? keep a eye on the radar to see where they are trying to come from, shoot a few rockets at large groups of slugs, dont try going to the bug side, hang back and defend. also shoot them in the green parts for crit hits, dont shoot the metal parts.

I've only played 4 levels so far, but it seems like a strange mix of a FPS and a shooting gallery game. The enemies are getting more agressive now, but the character movement is really slow, and there's a limited selection of weapons.
Either way, I'm not a big fan of FPS (haven't bought any retail releases for the Wii), but I'm having enough fun with this.

you are supposed to be slow, in the later levels it makes it really tense when you have a huge swarm of enemies chasing you, its impressive how many enemies are on screen sometimes for a wiiware game. there are more enemies depending on what difficulty you are playing on, I like how its always hard online.
I found a vid that shows where to get some of the weapon upgrades in single player mode, you have to S rank missions to unlock the other weapons, gamefaqs has the requirements.
watch the radar to see where they are on the map.

WTF is happening in this shot?
Just got this today, and got past the first boss. Player movement is unbearably slow, and yeah, the dashing is awkward. And I don't understand the combo system at all. If someone could explain that I'd appreciate it.
Otherwise, it seems like a decent game all and all. Haven't tried the online yet. Seems like if I wait too long to try it out, there will be no one left playing. And yet, I want to play through the single player to unlock stuff.

Think of Onslaught like a shooting gallery, the combo meter fills up whenever you kill enemies in a chain and the meter decreases quite fast. So as long as you have a huge swarm that you can kill fast then you are golden.

Not that I know of I believe it's only live kills and enemy hives.
Well, I suck at this game (can't even beat the final boss on Normal :lol), but it's fun. Online co-op is great, even though it's rather unbalanced due to the need to unlock weapons to be able to use them there. Not the case for ranked games, but it seems like the people I've played against so far are worse at the game than me. And holy crap at the rankings: Japan-domination.
