Wii first person shooters have a special place in my heart. I just love the point and shoot controls the Wii Remote has to offer. I’ve played many shooters on the system, but I never expected one to appear on WiiWare and from Hudson Soft none-the-less.
Being on WiiWare, Onslaught is a budget game. Tons of assets are reused and there are only a handful of enemy types. It’s similar to the Earth Defense Force series as you shoot non-stop waves of bugs. Their blood and guts will splatter onto the screen and you have to wipe it away by shaking the Wii Nunchuk.
Onslaught even featured online co-op! Quite rare for a Wii game, or even a Wii U game. Although, Nintendo’s online servers for the Wii have shut down. You’ll just have to blow up bugs with your AI buddies.
