Reviews for Linear Assault

Too Repetitive

This is fun for about ten minutes, and then you start to think, "is there any point to this?" Each level is the same, basically, with the same enemies, except with a different scrolling background and boss at the end. The bosses take waaay too many hits to die, and have really predictable firing patterns.

This is what Konami's "Raiden" would be if instead of being the most fun arcade upscrolling shooter ever, it had been forced to simplify itself into level after level of the same thing over and over.

It's a nice concept, but it needs work to improve playability.

Never thought any body could mess this up...

Not to be rude, but I am honest when it comes to newgrounds reviews.

Enemies were the same, over and over again, bosses were boring and took to long... and the big thing I wanted to see that is in every other one of these kinda games, were the upgrades. That is what makes an up down shooter, they are always the original single, to double, to quadruple, then sides and missiles coming out... but this just had NOTHING. Not even a special to clear the level. The enemies patterns were dull and predictible and never could kill you no matter how far you got. I'm sorry, but this is not a good game.

pretty boring

plays clean, but needs upgrades/bonuses of some sort. ends up being kind of monotonous

Certainly a classic style shooter.

This game is good, but it could use a few things. For one, having a score for how many units you down would be great. The addition of a few power ups here and there would fit well, and a health meter for bosses would certainly help.
