Hello again. :-)
Another Friday has come and gone, so it’s time - once again - for the weekly ‘Ace Armstrong vs. the Alien Scumbags!’ update.
While you’re eagerly awaiting Ace’s appearance on the PSN Store, here’s more info on some of the standard enemies opposing Ace on his mission to save Earth:
Saucer Scumbag:
This is the ‘vanilla’ flavour of enemy for Ace to encounter and form the majority of the game’s cannon fodder. They can be dangerous in numbers, though.
Rocket Scumbag:
Similar to the Saucer but with added streamlining, extra armour, and a meaner streak. Their Three-Way shots can be dangerous in crowded moments, but luckily Ace can turn the tables with his mighty Recycl-o-Ray!
Mortar Scumbag:
A static enemy, the Mortar shouldn’t be underestimated, as its vertically firing weapon has a large area of effect. Picking them off with a Three-Way shot is best, at which point you can turn their Mortar rounds on their fellow scumbags with devastating results.
Tank Scumbag:
These tanks will trundle on screen before zeroing in on Ace with their AA guns. Once locked on they’ll unleash a barrage of shots in Ace’s direction, so try to evade the lock on and smash them to pieces before they do the same to you!
Buzzsaw Scumbag:
These incredibly tough scumbags don’t fire at Ace, but they don’t need to - they’re surrounded by razor sharp blades and will rip through Ace like wet tissue if he gets anywhere near them! A really rapid trigger finger can take Buzzsaws down, but it’s dangerous to try without at least some kind of power up equipped. Beware the Buzzsaws!
More Ace news next week!
