Assault Retribution for the Sony PlayStation 1 is a third-person shooter game set in a dystopian future where Earth is under attack from an alien force. Players assume the role of one of two characters, battling through eight levels filled with enemies and bosses. The game combines intense shoot-'em-up action with strategic elements, as players dodge and manage an arsenal of weapons to defeat the alien threat. Its fast-paced gameplay, rendered in 3D graphics characteristic of the PS1 era, makes it a title representative of the action and science fiction genres of the late 1990s.
