Just in time for our PC-based review of Ion Assault, they’ve added gamepad support. Great news because it sucked to play only with the keyboard.
An update for Ion Assault (PC) is ready. The patch adds support for X-input compatible controllers and gamepads and also the possibility to control the spacecraft using the cursor keys in addition to WASD
The updates will be applied automatically when your STEAM client is restarted.
The sparks sure do fly in Ion Assault! The player finds himself in his spaceship surrounded by millions of nano particles; you’d better harness this swirling dust and use it to fend off swarms of enemies and obstacles. The player must use some smart particle suction and shooting to quickly blast adversaries out of the way. The player’s journey takes him through four different sectors each with 6 levels and a mighty boss waiting at the end of each sector. The “dynamic level intensity” in Ion Assault makes it easily accessible for beginners, while setting new challenges for hardcore gamers. The graphics and sound enhance the adrenaline-fueled atmosphere and make Ion Assault a must-have for fans of exhilarating arcade action!
