Dual Assault falls within the tradition of the military action shooter with a top-down or scrolling view, where one or two players advance shooting through waves of soldiers and enemy installations. The name suggests precisely that possibility of joint attack between two combatants. Like much of the military shooting production of its generation, it prioritizes immediate action and constant pace over narrative originality, in line with so many other titles that filled that segment of the arcade catalog.
