How it plays
How does Assault Plus (Japan) play?
Operate the tank through the same style of multidirectional combat, using two four-way joysticks to move and aim independently. Fire standard artillery, use the special wheelie/nuclear attack, and progress through the updated stage presentation. The choice of Easy or Super mode changes the challenge at the start, and the version supports two-player play.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Assault Plus (Japan)?
Use Easy mode to learn the dual-stick relationship, then switch to Super only after the movement and aiming rhythm is reliable. Keep moving while tracking enemy fire, save the nuclear attack for dense threats, and use the two-player option to divide attention between movement and target coverage. The Japan-only revision should be tested separately from standard Assault.
